June

well it's june 2010 and the weeks are going by so slowly now. the last batch came out june7th and i can barely wait for the next. that should be around july 6th-ish. We are praying that this will be a good month with a good number of referrals, however, the rumors are that in the past they have always ended on the last day of the month. that would mean that they would only get to april 31 or may 1st. that's another 4-5 days of referrals, but a really small batch and most of the beginning of may is empty due to a holiday in 2006. so it's any ones guess how far they will get. Please pray with us that our baby is safe and loved, healthy and strong. we are praying that we get our referral on or before October 2010. It is so hard to get our hopes up again, we have been disappointed so many times in the past, but we believe that the Lord will provide continued patience and strength. we are so close, we are so close now!

Predictions

here are the most current predictions for referrals. here is how the chart works, the dates on the left are the months the referrals come out, june referrals got to april 26 and so we start with july. the columns across the top are kind of the size of the referrals, in 2006, there were 2 sizes. Good was probably 150-250 referrals or more. each year it has been going down in size, the spring 2010 is pretty much the smallest and it would include about 40-50 referrals each month (or about 4-5 days).

So to use this chart, you find the column across the top that you think is the size the next batch will be. i believe it is spring 2010 or smaller. Our lid is may 19th, and so using this chart we should get our referral by October2010! I think these predictions are a bit enthusiastic so it would probably be more like November 2010.

Any way, each month they come out and each month they change. we shall see what july brings, my predictions will be May 1.

june referrals--April 26

it's early june and we are waiting for this month's batch. it is rumored that they will get to april 26th. a little disappointing. we hoped they would get to the 27th or further. so they did 5 days. not sure now if they are doing 5 days consistantly or 40-50 referrals each month. it seems to have gone down to the mid 40's instead of the mid 50's just a few months ago.

we are praying that we will travel by Christmas. that would be wonderful to have our baby by then.

happy anniversary

tomorrow is our 17 year anniversary. we are looking forward to celebrating that, can't believe it's been that long. it feels like last week that we got married. it's been a wonderful 17 years! love ya babe.
