"Good Fortune"

Referrals are around the corner and there are some positive ones being spread around. If the rumors hold out to be true (I'll believe it when I see it!), we could have only another 1 to 2 more referral batches to go until we're referred our daughter. How amazing will that be. Just the thought can send me into a tailwind spiral!

You would think that because we've waited 5 years for her to be home that we'd be all ready by now, but you'd be wrong. There are so many things that we've had to wait on until we actually see her face, know her age, and how many little munchkins there will actually be. If we get referred twins (unlikely, but possible) we'd have to redo the nursery and move it to a different room in the house (one that can actually accommodate 2 cribs). We also have so many projects around the house that need to be completed – like the baby-proofing! (I'm going to have to borrow a neighbor's little cutie to give our house the seal-of-approval before I deem it safe). HELP!

All I can say is that by the end of this year, all this waiting will be a distant memory. We will finally be able to begin the process of actually becoming a family. Happy thoughts indeed.

UPDATE: Matches have been mailed! Seems like we'll find out on Tuesday after the Memorial Day weekend holiday (no mail on Monday). Yippee! I hope it's June 30th! Keep those fingers and toes crossed!
