Stork or Not? YES!

Well, one report says the stork is in the air. But the source is not very reliable. The same source believes the news is bad for us...I'll post as soon as I know something more definitive. I'm praying we don't have to wait another month (that would be the bad news).

***UPDATED****Referrals are arriving...right now some of the people logged in the day BEFORE us have received the call with their referral...but still no news on our date. But I will admit, it's not looking good for us being in this batch...darn it.

What's that you say???

Irish saying, "WHAT? I was sleeping so peacefully on the couch, too."

How many days??? Well, my fellow travel mate, Mary, believes we'll get referral on Dec 31. Yes, as in 4 days away. I still am thinking Jan 4th (as in a week from tomorrow). Somehow Jan 4th sounds so much further off than 8 days does! At any rate...it's SOON!!!!

Some people are getting really negative about whether we'll be in this batch or not. I believe they are simply trying to protect themselves--extremely conservatively at that, if you ask me! I think we're in. Without. A. Doubt.

Next post...the stork will be flying! Oh my gosh, I never thought the day would EVER arrive where I'd be saying the next post the stork will be in the air! (For those not familiar, we stay the stork is flying when the referrals have been mailed...and agencies are expecting packages.)

Merry Christmas...Megan

Ashley's first performance

No, we couldn't be there...but my wonderful SIL posted this for me...so I could see it just HOURS after the performance!

24 and counting...

Okay...so, if we get referral on Friday, Jan 4th...that's 24 days from today. That's the day I most expect to receive it. I'm told that it could arrive anytime between Dec 28th (OH MY GOSH!) and January 9th (YUCKY, YUCKY, YUCKY).

I'm thinking 24 days sounds good! Sooner would be good, as long as I have all my "stuff" done before then so I can focus on Megan! (and our pending travel journey, of course.)

We're NEXT!!!!

Yes, I feel this crazy right now...everything is a blur. Referrals are beginning to arrive for December, appears the cutoff is the 14th or 15th...we are DEFINITELY in for January! No doubt.

I need another countdown...T minus 30. In about 30 days we will finally see Megan's face. Oh my gosh...my heart is racing. If I can't wipe the smile off my face now, how much more so will I be smiling coming January!!!????? Wow. While Christmas 2007 is not what we expected (we thought we've had our last without Megan), knowing we will be literally days away makes it all good.

It's all good.

And Now it's December

Our Christmas Tree 2007

I honestly have no idea where November went, let alone 2007! GEESH!

Now that we are in December, we can OFFICIALLY say we will get our referral NEXT MONTH! I cannot verbalize how exciting it is that we are within a month (give or take a day or two) of seeing Megan's face. Let's see...emotions would include: anticipation, excitement, overwhelming joy, excitement, excitement and oh, did I mention excitement? It's hard to even focus on ANYTHING! There have been no referrals for December yet...and really no rumors of what the cutoff is...or when they will likely arrive. How horrible for those who are expecting referrals this month!

Oh...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother, Keith...I won't say how old he is...but he is "catching up" to me! haha
