Re: Monday check-in
Happy Monday Ladies!
1. We are on track to become active by the end of August for DA. Just had our first home study appointment, second in 2 weeks.
2. A gin & tonic with lots of lime or a good ol' rita!
3. I am feeling so good. I hope it doesn't change. We are on top of the world after our meeting on Friday. I have never felt so confident and sure about anything. It is great.
1.) Doing an IUI in August (to please DH) and then starting the FA process in September, couldn't come soon enough!
2.) Bud light in a bottle
3.) Well, I've been up since 12AM. My body has been really 'off' lately and I can't sleep! I think I've had about 8 hours in the last 2 days...boo for Monday!
1. The kids have been with us for 6 weeks and we will hopefully finalize at the end of September.
2. Right now its a sex on the beach of Colorado bulldog
3. I want to go back to sleep, but my DS is stretched across my side of the bed and I don't want to wake a sleeping baby. Other than that I think today is going to be a great day for me. For the kids, not so much, we have doctor appointments to make sure they are caught up on shots for school.?
1. Matched and waiting (due at end of year). DA
2. coffee: Dunkin Donuts home brew; alcoholic: strawberry daiquari; non-alcoholic: fresh squeezed lemonade
3. I'm feeling content. Received another email from our BM and she is just the sweetest! I really do feel like "third times a charm".
1. DA, went through the house looking for more paperwork to send for our HS
2. Limeade
3. Tired. Didn't sleep well
1) Waiting to hear on the final approval of our file. Its been almost 3 months.
2) Sangria
3) I'm feeling good today. There's always the underlying fustration and impatience but hope and faith are primary. I know that this wait is so the timing matches with the child that needs us the most.
