Today my DH and I went to the traveling clinic and got our shots for Ethiopia. We were able to get all of them except for the Yellow Fever Vaccine. They only give that shot on Fridays, so we will be back in a couple of weeks for that one.
Our adoption specialist also e-mailed me to let me know that she received the care package that we are sending to the baby and it should be on its way to him shortly.
