Update...

So the update is…there is no update! As of last Friday the 11th (officially a month after being placed on the prospective list) we have not moved a smidge…we are still # 7!! Argghh!! Ahhhh the injustice of it all!!! I did find out some good news though. On a positive note the families on the Active list that have already been matched with a birthmom will stay on the Active List until they are officially placed…so once those babies are born and if the placement goes through they will be moved off the active list….so it all could happen very quickly. I am really trying to relax and stay positive and in reality the first month did go by fairly fast… I was actually surprised it had already been a month!

Lee and I have actually just been having a great time… we went through a few weekends where we put together the crib and changing table and I started the border around the room (I didn’t get very far…I forgot how shaky my hand is with a paint brush) but the last few weekends we have just been having a great time going on “dates”. We have been going to the movies and out to dinner and on “double dates” with our best friends C & C and their one year old little boy C. I love that they are all C’s! heehee! We have decided to make the most of our remaining couple time and really enjoy those moments together. Looking back… we have spent so much time focused on getting to our baby that because of that determination we forgot just to relax and have fun! Now with all of our “work” behind us we are free to just Let go and Let God!
Additionally, I have also started working out almost daily! I am addicted. I have always loved to be active, but the fear of jostling things around and ruining a potential pregnancy had me becoming a lot lazier than I liked. And because of the ridiculous heat out here in AZ I have been doing my Turbo Jam videos rather than outdoor activities! The high energy, totally ripped, mother of two somehow does not annoy me, rather I look forward to her silly motivation! I have been doing the videos for about 3 weeks now, and I normally don't weigh myself...but I GAINED two pounds... ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I am telling myself it is muscle...but who knows. Regardless I feel better and have more energy, so I guess that is all that really matters!

So that is the update…regardless of my impatience I have to say I am still “happily” waiting! The sleepless nights and dirty diapers will come soon enough…for now I am enjoying hitting the snooze button on Saturday morning until at least 9am!!!
