August referrals--May 15th

this month they got to May 15th! that's 5 more days! there were rumors that they could maybe get to the 16th. that day is really huge (so many agencies sent in dossiers that week and got logged in) and we were is shock that it was a possibility/rumor, unfortunately they didn't get that far.

For Sept we toggle back and forth as to "will this be our month"? they will probably only get to may 17th but man, just a little bigger of a month and they could get to the 19th. We are counting the days to Oct referrals. we believe that is our month!

we haven't done much in getting ready yet. we do have so much to do, it is a little overwhelming. sometimes it just doesn't seem real that it's around the corner. We are so close yet we have been so close for 4 years it's hard to wrap your brain around it this time. it took them an entire year to get through March 2006 and this year they may just get through 2 months. i still remember the days when they did 30 days of referrals EVERY month, now they do 2-5 days a month.

i'm pretty sure that both our baby registries have expired. i stopped pushing the "due date" back on them a couple of years ago. i kept getting notices that the items i picked were no longer available or there was a recall on them. i will have to go do that soon, it's just so hard since i don't know how old she will be yet. i will let you know when i get that done, that's another thing that will make it feel "real". We are slowly getting the house ready, moving furniture around and all that goes with that.

Pray that there are no delays for the next few months. all our paperwork is just fine, and that we will hear some good news in October!
