A girl's GOTTA have jewelry!

We got an update today... man I LOVE our agency! Today was the doctor's first day back from vacation and our foster mom took her to her appointment and hours later we have pictures and measurements!!

Celeste is 4 months & one week old and she is 13 lbs (up from 11.5 last month) and 61 cm long (up from 56 cm last month) and sporting her FIRST jewelry!!
Check out her little wrist! It was obvious the foster mom was proud - see how she is holding up her wrist? So sweet!! My dh Matt said, "Oh man, she's getting soooo attached." (speaking of the foster mom - Celeste is her FIRST foster baby!) I am a little nervous for the pick-up trip because she is so attached, but I am also comforted knowing how much she loves her and the great care she is getting!

Anyway... just wanted to share... I hope everyone hears good news this week! We've already had a great week - lots of good news around here!
COME ON PGN - LOTS OF OUTS THIS WEEK, PLEASE?!?

She is just so incredibly beautiful. She is. I am so happy that you got such wonderful pictures of your princess! And her bracelet!! That is honestly the sweetest and nost adorbale thing ever. How wonderful that she is so very loved by her foster mother. That is just fabulous and I am sure you find so much security in that. I know I would. THanks for sharing them. I hope you are able to bring her home very soon.

Hugs
