It's been 1 month.....

WHERE IS OUR BABY?!?!

What's that you say?  1 month is nothing?  I know, I know.  I'm just kidding.  Kind of.

It's been 1 month since we were told that we were officially on the "wait list" to adopt.  To be honest, I've not been going crazy like I thought I would.  Thankfully, it's the holidays so we're busy with all that comes with that.  On the flip side, it's the holidays and I had really hoped that we would have another stocking to hang this year.  *Sigh*

We've got our 60 day monitoring visit with our caseworker in a couple of weeks.  I'm sure she won't have anything to tell us, but I'll be glad to see her.  She's great.

I plan on getting some more adoption books soon and spending a lot of time reading and educating myself more on adoption.  We've gotten a couple of suggestions of books...if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

We had a good Thanksgiving this year.  Lots to be thankful for.  We had dinner with our families and played fun games.  Grace and I shopped a little, though not crazy black friday shopping!  We filled our thankful tree with lots of paper leaves listing all of our thankfuls and we stuffed ourselves crazy.  I'm hoping that this post finds you as thankful as we are and that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. 

I continue to think of the birth parents who are struggling with the decisions they will be making.  As anxious as I am to be chosen, I keep in mind that there is someone out there who will make our dream come true and I must be patient....as hard as it is!  :)
