OK...Who Stopped the Clock???

How did it happen? For the most part I've handled this wait fairly well but I tell you...this month of anticipation is d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g by!!! I've waited over 40 months for Hannah's referral but suddenly time seems to be standing still and I don't see it getting much better for the next couple of weeks. Oh no!!!

I have a lot to do to keep me busy and have been enjoying doing some things around the house to prepare for Hannah but time itself seems to have stopped. Each morning I wake up and update the picture in the sidebar counting down the days until her referral might arrive and the numbers are getting smaller but two weeks right now seems like an eternity away!!

I'm happy, upbeat and enjoying this time...I'm just ready to see my sweet baby's face and learn about the daughter that I already love so much!!

Family and friends are helping me anticipate this amazing day by being humblingly (yah...that's a word I made up Sharon!) generous. Over the next 2 weeks my sweet baby girl will be blessed by family and friends as there are 3 different showers planned to welcome her! Wow!!! After years of attending showers as a guest it's overwhelming to think that the person the showers are for is my precious daughter and myself. wow.....

So, as these final days as 'Cathy/Catherine' slip by and I excitedly anticipate taking on my new title as 'Mom' I'll continue to love my baby girl, pray for her and trust God for His perfect time to bring us together. You have to know though that my prayers do include a little whining about a quick referral batch! ;o)

For now, these 2 jars on my desk continue to be a visual encouragement of how far I've come and how ohsoclose I am!!



ONE!!!!!
