Lilypie - Personal pictureLilypie Waiting to Adopt tickers
you can hear nothing, nada, absolute silence......no rumors about when the next batch of referrals will be in or what the cutoff date will be. It's torture, I need to know if we will be included with the July referrals...I just need to know if the torturous wait will ever end, lol.

On the bright side, we get to spend another $760 dollars updating our homestudy and fingerprints for the third time, Yay! Fun times...pffft!
I really don't mean to sound babyish or whiny....Rich and I are really so lucky to even be on this journey and I know we will be so blessed when we do receive our referral. It's just, well, we both are so ready for the next part of our lives to start!! I guess I am just feeling a bit cranky....

It is so ok to be cranky. Just know that once you receive your referral, crankiness will be an emotion that you'll won't see again. You are so close. July is right around the corner. I still need to pick up that bottle of champagne to toast for you on referral day. Yes, I'm a procrastinator.

For me, a cranky grumble is a good moment. Besides, you SO deserve it. Come ON, you referral. I will toast to you on your very special, well-deserved, momentous, incredible day.

Yeah, it's killing ME and I'm not even waiting to meet my daughter. I don't know how you stay so patient. How is her room progressing? Have you been working on it? Is a shower planned for you, do you know?
Anyway Jen, you are definitely in the last trimester of a very long pregnancy and the baby could come at any time so it is nervewracking to say the least.
I keep refershing RQs site even on the weekend when I know nothing is going to be posted...how sad is that?
C'mon, let's start some guessing games to pass the time. Can you put a poll up on your site? You know, like, where do you think Mia is right now? How old do you think Mia will be? That kind of thing. QJ? Does this say spread sheet to you?????

You have every right to be cranky. And, I am cranky along with you with anxiety to share in your happy news. I was at a birthday party today of a waiting Mom (LID 6/06). Her son was turning 5 and she really hoped her children would be closer in age. One of the attendees is a little girl age 2 1/2 from China....I haven't seen her in quite awhile and just seeing her made me think of how soon all of this LONG wait will be behind you and you will be going to the constant stream of birthday parties.

I'm ready for a spreadsheet. It's been a very long while since I pulled one together. This is a great reason to dust off that MS Excel. Ok, Jenny post your poll and I'll set up a spreadsheet for all the guesses.

Jenny said...

I'll try to do the poll, lol. Leigh, I am a technotard too, so everyone please stand back...heh.

As for the shower, I don't know about that, I am not "expecting" one. I do know that when we get back from China, my sister is planning on coming in from St. Louis, so maybe then??? We are planning to go shopping and I might get a Tattoo!! hahaha! :) Hey, maybe I could do a poll about THAT!! I need to get champagne too!!
