LID!!!!!!

Today we received some awesome news...we got our LID(log in date)!!:) The actual date was November 9th. Yesterday I was getting a little anxious because it was 3 weeks since we were DTC. My social worker said it would be 2-3 weeks till LID from DTC. She also said things were going faster, so I was really expecting it last week(or hoping for it anyway). Well today was the day...I am one step closer to my little sweetie in China!
