But now it seems that we are very close to the top of the list. And I might be going out of my mind a little bit. See, This whole time I had been preparing myself for a November or December referral, if not later. Now, I don't know what to think. I keep telling myself, keep your mind set, don't alter your expectations. But its so hard! I keep letting it creep into my mind. Wait, did I say creep? What I mean is, its the ONLY thing I can think about. Seriously, there must be something else to think about! I mean, there are other things going on in the world, right? And let me tell you, my job doesn't help things. I know you all want to think that when you are getting a massage, your massage therapist is focused on nothing but you and your knots. And there are times when that is true. But when we have things on our mind, well lets just say I've been doing this a long time, my body can go on automatic pilot. Which provides me endless hours to think and obsess and do mathematical calculations about referrals and court dates and travel and AGHHHHH!! Help me!!!
Ok, no I'm okay. I'm still not expecting anything for a while. That's good, right?
So another awesome thing that happened in the past couple of days is that our awesome, amazing, wonderful, awesome friends bought us this:
I know, I say awesome too much. But isn't it so awesome?!?! Our friends are too good to us.
So now all we need is a baby to go in it. Yup. No rush though...

I have been thinking of you and wondering how you were processing being so close to the top!! Now I know. :) I think needless to say that thinking about it nonstop has to be totally normal. Hang in there. I'll be sending you good vibes. Love the stroller!
YAY Stroller!!! And yeah .. panic and failure to think of anything else ... seriously, how do we function? It was so awesome to talk to you the other day. Well, beyond awesome! I can't wait for our next phone call ... oh yeah! Lots of love to ya honey!
Your day is coming soon.
I went to the beach this weekend (and got my first massage ever, by the way) and came home to a wonderful treat of many more families on the referral list!! Your call is coming soon!! Love the stroller, too. (and even though you are thinking of it, it will probably be when you least expect it...)
Awesome post, awesome stroller, and totally awesome that you are so close!!! Oh, and completely normal to be thinking about it ALL THE TIME. I am somewhat of an expert in that category and absolutely no help at all if you want advice on how to think about something else ;-)
Very exciting to be almost to the top! Great news! I'm also adopting and not even on that coveted list yet, but hope to be done with the dossier soon. :-D
Ummm... totally had the same feeling this weekend. What the...?! I thought I had this process all figured out! You will love this stroller (it just takes some practice setting it up and folding it down).
so very soon maybe! wow! love the stroller! doesn't the fall weather just make you want to push a baby around the neighborhood in that lovely contraption? happy birthday by the way! :)
That stroller is awesome! I've been looking at one just like it. Your friends really love you (LOL)! Hang in there; waiting for your referral is soo hard. All of this waiting will undoubtedly make us very patient parents in the end. Here's sending good vibes your way for a speedy referral!
