Hopefully not too much longer…….

We are finding this part of the wait very difficult. I emailed our coordinator knowing she cannot give me specifics, but I wanted to know something at least. She said we are second in line that another family sent in their dossier June 2 then we sent ours at the end of June. Our dossier has been translated and is where it needs to be. She said they should be handing out some infant referrals soon. What does soon mean next week, next month, a few days? Anyhow after they (VN authorities) give out the referrals then the medicals need to be done and then they can match us with a baby. What the time line is, who knows? All we know is soon.

It is very hard to contain our curiosity and excitement at this point. However we are enjoying being childless for the next few months. We have gone to bed when we felt like it. We are getting up on the weekends when we feel like it. We have gone to late movies. We have gone out to eat. Chris bought his last indulgence an X BOX 360. We have been taking the dogs on long walks. We spent last weekend with our college friends and had a blast.

I bought a crib and mattress last night from Target online. I cannot wait to get it so the basic necessities of nursery furniture will be bought and put together.

Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we wait.
