I Feel Like I Am In Labor!

No news yet! We are so close! The closer we get the harder it is to wait. There is speculation that we should hear something before the Chinese New Year. The year 2010, is the year of the Tiger. Chinese New Year's Day this year is February 14. The Chinese government offices close for several days to celebrate the new year.

Come on referrals!
