Let the ride begin......

Okay folks.....rumor has it that the CCAA has begun matching babies to families. A few people are also saying this could be a larger batch. Dare we hope to believe that the 7th will be included?? It's just so hard to stay focused right now - I want so badly for it to be true, but I have also learned to protect my heart from any disappointment. Let's just say I would be super thrilled if they filled thru the 6th - and probably fall out of my chair and pass out if the 7th was included!! I guess we will see - in the meantime, I've got a knot in my stomach and suspect it won't be going away anytime soon!!

And then there were 7........

We have waited and waited and now I am happy to say that there are only 7 days left to fill. Oh my, a week's worth of days to get to see the beautiful face of our girl! Up till now, it has seemed like a distance dream. But now, things are getting very real, very quickly. I now realize all the things I have been putting off because we have forever to wait - well folks, that is no longer the case!

We hope to see another batch of referrals before the CCAA breaks for Chinese New Year. If they do send another batch, I would hope to see them fill thru the 6th (who am I kidding - I would hope and pray to see the 7th!) However, our day is huge, so I would be thrilled for them to fill thru the 6th. Then and only then, would we be guaranteed to make the next batch which should arrive end of February! Can you believe it, in as little as 8 weeks we could be seeing Emma for the 1st time!!!!

So what to do in the meantime - don't worry, there is so much to do. We need to finish some parenting classes, go through the mountain of things in our basement that this much loved, much wanted little girl has already managed to receive. Oh and the huge China Travel Guide that we are reading - it's pretty daunting all the things to do between now and when we travel! But don't worry - we will get our ducks in a row! It won't be much longer..............thanks for hanging in with us! We should have the news you've waited to hear very, very soon!!
