Our life while waiting...

I was talking to someone yesterday and they had asked how long we have been waiting and I told them 8 months...8 months....i think the first 3 months were the hardest...we were under the impression that we would have a baby home fast...our mistake...so after the 3rd month goes by you are into the 4th month, then the 5th, 6th,7th, and now the 8th! Remember when you were younger...late teens and your mother told you not to grow up to fast that the years will pass by and before you know it, it would 10 years later? Well...we all know...mother's are right! So I have to say that this waiting time really has flown by! Then I began to think of all the things we have done Since we met with our agency for the first time to sign up...that date was April 4, 2006....here's the list...or what I can remember!

We went to Las Veges, Niagara on the Lake, day trips to Lewiston, remodeled our bath rooms, had a big Christmas party, we both are a year older, married for another year, I started a new job, our dogs are a year older, Nana and papa, and gram terry are a year older (shhhh) My friend got pregnant and had a healthy little boy named Nico...did alot of gardening (can't wait to start again this year) worked on the baby's room...have made some amazing friends through the adoption process...started a blog...met some amazing friends through my blog...we got a new HD LCD FLAT screen TV (that is for hubby) and most importantly...FOUND THE LORD for the second time! I am sure we have done more, but I can't remember now...it is amazing how time files whether you are having fun or not. I have enjoyed this waiting process...i think it makes you stronger...i know it has made me stronger and has tested me more then I know. I never knew I had patience! Yeah i do!

We never like to look too far ahead..but my mom and I were talking abut when the baby is dedicated at church...we laughed and said we will have more people at the dedication party then at our wedding! LOL we had 88 people at our wedding and we talk to...hummmmm may 50 of them...that is said...what a waste of money! It is going to be one heck of a party! My parents will be grandparents for the first time and well...Jeff's mom will be grandma for the 3rd time.

Man will this baby be spoiled! Aunt Amy is totally looking forward to the baby coming home. I can't wait to hear the baby call her Aunt Amy! It brings tears to my eyes right now thinking of it! Ok...I just looked at the clock and I have to get ready to go to work! Jeff doesn't have over time today!!!! YEAH!!!! Had OT 29 hours in the past 2 weeks with only 1 day off! So I want to make sure he is pampered tonight...his poor feet are killing him! Hugs to all!
