Team Malia/ Sunday Update

Well zero news this last weekon EP, which was expected but not what was hoped for. My darling daughter will soon be 11 months old which is actually painful to think about. I have to get over the fact that she may not be home before her 1st birthday. And I will, I will have so many other firsts with her like so many friends have told me.
I did actually get new medicals on her which is always exciting! She is now 20 lbs! Which actually is how much Maddie weighed at 1 year so not to much bigger than big sis and WAY smaller than Kaden was, I think he was closer to 30! She is 27 inches tall and is meeting all of her mile stones that she should. She says Omma (momma) and is very VERY shy with strangers (YIKES) she has 4 teeth on top on 3 on the bottom. Her papers said she is taking 7 oz of formula every 4 hours but Im hoping she is getting something more than just that at this point. So she is growing and is with wonderful caregivers that are loving her for us while we cant, and for that I am so greatful.
OK so we have talked about getting shirts for everyone who wanted to go to the airport with us when Malia gets home. Well I think we have finally come up with something cute to go on the shirts and so I will be taking orders if anyone wants to have one. They will say TEAM MALIA! Isnt that fun!! We originally thought about doing them as a fund raiser but we dont need to do that so the charge would only be the cost of the shirt. My dear friend Tirsa will be making them for us, her family has a business and I will try to get a link or phone # on here for any of you that may like it if you want to make your own shirts for special occasions! So if you want one they would be grey with black trim I guess you would say. They are just like the ones you can see in my post about the Breaking Dawn party earlier this month. Ours would be grey with black binding on the collar and cuffs though, they will be $12, they have women sizes S, M, L, XL, and 2X and mens in the same sizes... with adults I would recommend ordering a size bigger than you usually get because they run a little small. In kids they have S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, I believe the S for kids was a 5-6. And then if you had a baby we could get a onesie.
So if you want to be a part of Team Malia, let me know! Please dont feel like you have to buy a shirt in order to come to the airport though, we have had quite a few people express excitement in doing this and I think it would be great to have a great big support surrounding us when Malia gets off that elevator! I have always pictured a huge welcoming when we got home with Malia and even now that she will be escorted home I still would love to have friends and family be part of the exciting moment... and heck I need people filming and taking pics for us too... we will be a little busy lol!!
So please leave a comment on here or call or email me your order! I think if we all get very prepared maybe she will realize just how ready we are and finally come home!!!! Lets pray that we get EP submitted this week, this is my hope and my prayer!
