Lilypie Waiting to Adopt tickers

Update

Well,I thought I should probably write, since it's been a month since we "announced" our plans (or better, God's plans) to adopt our little baby boy.
Here's what we've accomplished so far:
-mailed our "app for certification to adopt" to County Court
-gotten all our reference letters and finished our application for Three Angels, we just need to send it in.
-mailed in our CPS form
-gotten our medical forms done
-have our first "home visit" scheduled with our homestudy agency

And that's about it...we still have ALOT to do and we need to get started on it all....
There's just been a lot going on here at our house and now sickness has hit! So, next week will be the week to get some of it done!
It's funny, because we've been through this once before and you would think I would know what to do, but for some reason, I'm overwhelmed this time.
Maybe it's because it wasn't my "plan" so I really had no time to get used to the idea or wrap my brain around all I needed to do.
Or maybe it's because last time, I went through an agency that had a wonderful adoption coordinator who basically held my hand through it all and told me, step by step, what I needed to do and HOW I needed to do it. (not that 3A isn't wonderful, it's just not an agency)
Now, I just have all these lists....and if you know me, I actually like lists....but these are LONG lists and they are all different and I don't know where to start.
I guess I don't know who to ask, either.
So, I'm just trying not to freak out about it, and stay calm and do it one step at a time. I just hope I'm doing the steps in the right order....
I know that we need certain things done by the time Eric goes to Haiti in November, so he can schedule certain appointments while he's there, but I don't know which things these are!
I'm just confused....can you tell?????
Other than that, we're all doing great here! (haha)
I have gotten more pics of SP (that's my nickname for him lately) and they are SO cute!!! (thanks, Colleen!!!) If anyone has anymore, could you please send them to me? I'm making an album...
Well, I better go...I have a sick little munchkin with a temp of 105 that I need to take care of. Gosh, how am I going to do it with 3 kids??? Crazy, to think of....but I know we can do it.
Please pray for us (me, especially..while I'm doing the paperwork)....
and for little Sebastian....I can't believe that Eric and Helayna get to see/meet him in a month!!! I am very jealous!!!! But I've gotten many promises that video will be taken the first time they meet, so I can't wait to see that. And Eric's told me that he'll "Skype" me so I can see the 3 of them together....gosh, that almost brings me to tears just thinking about it....
And then, maybe next time, it'll be me that goes to meet my little boy for the first time....

That's it for now....hopefully next time I write in, I'll have it all done!!! (yeah, right!!haha)
