We have hit the 5 month mark waiting for our little one. In some ways in seems like the time has gone by really quickly and in other ways in seems like it is ever so slowly moving forward.
I know that we still have many more months of waiting ahead. I am anxious for our referral which will hopefully come late summer or early fall. When I talked to our specialist last she said that Oct/Nov would be a good reference point and if it comes earlier than what a great surprise. This was before the huge # of referrals in May and I have been told by my forum family that our specialist is pretty conservative in her estimates as to not gets people's hopes up so I am hanging on to that.
No one has hit the 9 month mark waiting for an infant of either gender and 9 months for us is October 22nd so we are really hoping that sometime in late August or September we get the call that will forever change our lives. I already have a note pad and pen by the phone so I am ready when it does come.
When we get the call, we will also get an email with as much info as they have and most importantly a picture of our sweet little one. I won't be able to share that picture with everyone until after we get through court but I will carry it with me everyday and share it with a few family members and a couple of close friends.
So for now, I know we should be over half way into our wait and that is exciting. We are just chugging along with our jammed pack summer realizing that at this time next year our summer's will be full of trips to the pool, zoo and park. How cool is that!
