Better Attitude!

Well as the holidays are winding down my attitude is better!  We have our fingerprint appointment next Friday! So that wraps up our paperwork (well depending on what the changes to the Dossier authentication process are!) 
My new hope is that by February we will be parents in waiting!  I am trying to decide how we can do our countdown- would love any thoughts and suggestions ( I have seen the post it's, the chalkboard, the drawings...)
We have our niece and nephew coming today and they have a 9 month old little boy! So I am super excited about this- but also anticipating seeing what all we need to change in our house to accommodate little ones!!! I am sure a list of stuff to do/change will be in the works!!!
I am also starting my training of my 2nd half marathon- this will be great and a good thing to keep my mind a bit more sane!

I am so enjoying seeing every one's Christmas posts/pics!
Happy New Years dear blog friends!

Normal Feelings?

I have not written in awhile, matter of fact I have not been on the blog much at all.  Been a bit bummed lately, we still are not completed with our paperwork process and I really expected to be by now.  This just means I have to add even more time to our "wait" time. I know that Gods plan is bigger than I will ever know, but...sometimes it is so hard.  I want nothing more than to be a mom and well it is just not time yet I suppose! Normally seeing all the families and seeing what is going on really brings me joy, but lately I feel more sad and jealous, especially with the holidays.   I am trying to move forward with it and take advantage of "my" time before that becomes a thing of the past but really I am ready to not have this time!! I am sure some moms are going to save this and send it to me in a few years when I am begging for 5 minutes of alone time!  I do wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  I hope those waiting will get a blessing from Santa ( Meg, Jenny, Kwatkins...) and for Jennifer just waiting to pick up her littles ones- a quick trip and continue to have fun shopping!!  And those that have their little ones that bring me joy to hear the stories and see the pictures have a great holiday and I look forward to the posts!
