Now that we’ve changed our age request for a sibling group over 3 years old, (one child under one and one child under 4,) we are officially OVERDUE. It’s weird - I do feel like I’m bursting the seams - a feeling many of you moms who were pregnant out there understand - except it’s my heart and head that feel ready to burst.
- Four months is a long time to check your email 2-10 times a day.
- Four months is a long time to constantly wonder which child will be older - the boy or the girl?
- Four months is a long time not to buy any baby clothes.
- Four months is a long time to be constantly distracted, unable to focus on work and thinking about your kids.
- Four months is a long time to keep saying “any day now…”
So, after a disappointing lack of Christmas surprise, let’s just cross our fingers for January. Kidslink opens up next Monday at their new location, and I can assure you I will be waiting, anticipating, hoping (and trying not to hope and anticipate) all week!

We are all waiting, anticipating, and hoping for you too!
Can’t wait to hear your exciting news of a referral….which I am sure is just around the corner!

Oh Nicky, I sure hope that you hear some good news soon! One thing I noticed was that there was upswings and downswings. Somedays I woke up and hardly ever thought about the baby trying to find their way to us. Other days I woke up and was on autopilot all day because I could do nothing other than picture what our family “might” look like…
My fingers are crossed for you. Be strong,

I sure hope you guys get a call soon Nicky! I totally know how painful and difficult the waiting can be!! Hopefully KL will have some news for you when they re-open.

It has got to be any day now! I know that I said that to myself for about 6 months, but Kidslink has a much quicker referral time than we had with CAFAC.
It is agonizing, and I sympathize. But, honestly, when you see those pictures most of the pain vanishes. Just like childbirth! I waited 13 months for a referral and truly I can hardly remember how discouraged and disappointed I felt every time I called home from work to check my voice mail aor found no new messages in my in-box.
I hope you will hear soon. I check your blog a couple times a day waiting for your news!
It WILL be a Happy New Year!

We are in the same boat!! I was so disappointed we didn’t get a referral in Dec. Everyday I check my emails a hundred times just like you!
Well, I truly hope we have pictures to show each other on Jan. 26. I hope to bring our Ethiopian friends with us, they have 3 gorgeous kids.
Praying for good news soon for you guys!

I said to Dave, “2008 is the year baby!!!”

I can’t wait to hear you finally have your referral!!! Definitely keeping fingers crossed for January. You’re right…4 months is a long time because you are thinking every moment of every day of the whole 4 months!
Take care…
