Came across these last night-
My Baby Week 26.....
Infants at this age continue to bloom in their ability to interact with the world. At this point, your little one is probably responding to her name, reaching for objects she desires, sitting up, crawling or scooting around the room, and “talking” up a storm with one and two-syllable sounds.

Trying to rise above it~

Going to be honest here. Its late. I am tired. I am crampy. I am pissed. I really had found peace about our court date or lack there of ...
Then...I went on our agencies listserve. So many happy posts from the families that are planning to leave NEXT WEEKEND to pick up their babies/children FOREVER. Dang it WHY arent we going? WHY? When I let myself feel ...it sucks. BIG TIME. I ache when I think of my baby turning another month old. I want to hold her sooooooo bad. I want to dress her in all the tiny outfits I have bought. And making things worse I have NO IDEA when our court date will be. I am sad.
~I know GOD has a plan and his timing is perfect. I do. I just cant figure out WHAT the plan is yet.... :(
End rant.

A new addition to the family

Introducing my new nephew :) My sister added another pup to her family.

His name is Drake is he is WAAAAYYYY cute :)

~Kids are all on antibiotics again. Hopefully that will clear up the cooties and everyone will finally feel better :)

~Christy said no word on a new court date yet....

~Did you know you could be eating ground up bugs when you eat foods with coloring? EEEWW! Read it here~

You get knocked down...

And you get up again. Never gonna keep me down! (heehee..you get points if you know the song :)

Well I have come out of my chocolate chip cookie coma. I really had the wind knocked out of me on Friday. Stupid I know. I know better. I have been thru adoption before. I KNOW you can not count on anything in International Adoption..so to get my hopes up we would pass the first time was not smart. But I did. I cant help it, I want my baby girl home. I could have been holding her in alittle more then 2 weeks. That hurts :( Good news is some wonderful moms who ARE traveling (Sunday :) have offered to hug baby girl for me.

~THANK YOU to everyone who left sweet comments and emailed me. It truly helps to know you have people who understand and are pulling for you :)

I talked to my sweet caseworker last night. No news. I worried that maybe our birthmom was ill or moved, but as of today I dont know why she didnt make it. But the good news is, Christy (cw) said that they will secure transportation for her to the next court date. Whenever that is. I dont know yet....Prayers for an early court date would be SO wonderful.

~I had a friend say to me "I know you want your baby home so you will know she is being cared for "

Actually that is not something I worry about EVER. Truly. I trust Hannah's Hope Orphanage completely. I have heard so many times how much the special mothers care for and love the children. They all come home so healthy (maybe with colds and ear infections but that is normal) that I dont worry about her care. I just wish I was the one caring for her :)

~Off to take the kiddos to the dr again. They still have the wet cough, and Boo has a yucky nose. Fun.

The word is in

I was shopping with the kids for Baby Girl when my caseworker called. I answered the phone after saying a quick pray for great news.

We didnt pass. Our birthmom didnt show up. WHY wouldnt someone arrange transportation for her? I am so sad and frustrated. The other families from our agency passed. I am very happy for them. They will be picking up their children March 7. Not us. No idea when we will have another court date. I walked away from my cart trying not to cry infront of the kiddos.

Shit.

Still waiting ......

Boos tired of waiting for baby sista :)

I was weak yesterday. I broke down and called my agency. I knew that if they had any news they would call, but I just wanted to be SURE ;) Christy was very sweet and confirmed that No she hadnt heard anything yet. Well , crap.





Waiting is making me nervous. I am thinking of all the things that could go wrong...If we dont pass , we could wait until end of April or later for a new court date. That could be another 3-4 months of baby girls life we miss out on :(





Omen? While I was typing this Lilly (doggie) jumped on the couch and puked. Tell me this isnt a sign???

Waiting is hard

Waiting. That is what you do when you adopt. Wait. At every stage there is hurry up and WAIT. Do papers. Wait. Get on referral list. Wait. Get court date. Wait. Have court. Wait. Wait . Wait wait!!! It sure teaches you things are NOT in your control. I do try to give it over to the Lord. I do. But I am weak. I want baby girl to come home.
Well we are at yet another wait stage. My caseworker said it may take up to a week (7days!!!) to hear if we passed or ..............not.
Seriously need dark chocolate.
