Expectingmomosaurous
Allow me to introduce you to the expectingmomosaurous, a sub-species of the adoptingmomosaurous.
This rare species is seldom seen outside of a home office, as she is particularly attached to her computer and needs to refresh her email inbox every half hour. She eats paperwork for breakfast , lunches on expectations and sups on unappealing disappointment.
Although she appears friendly, do not approach her, especially on a Friday. She is actually somewhat conniving and referral-thirsty… calculating how many families are in front of her in line.
Should you encounter an expectingmomosaurous, appease her with the words “a referral will come soon; I have a feeling…” and calm her by throwing her a spectacular baby shower, with non-age-nor-gender-specific gifts.

Hehe that was cute! I hope that you had a great shower or will be having one soon!
This is perfect Nicky! You aren’t alone!
Hi Nicky, it’s great to see there are other ‘expectingmomosaurous’s’ out there! We have many family and friends in Kelowna, so I hope we can get together for a playdate with our little Ethiopian kids next year. Good luck in your journey, I’ll follow your blog and hope to hear some exciting news for your referral soon.
Wait… what? You mean… who, ME? Dude, I am so totally NOT…! I mean, I never…!
One moment, please, I have to check my email…
Okay, what was I saying?
Very cute and I can COMPLETELY relate!! Its nice to “meet” you too!
