Yep, I'm in one. No, not funk as in smell. Funk as in poor mood. I have officially been waiting 2 months now. That's great! CHS's estimate is still 4-7 months from now I will have a referral. However, I'm a realist. I know that things could change. In 5 months, they could tell me the wait will be another 6 months. I shouldn't be thinking of negative possibilities, but somehow,today, I am. I have so much to be thankful for. I'm healthy, both mentally and physically. (ok, so maybe I DO need to lose 10#) I have again been recently reminded repeatedly how lucky I am to have my mental and physical health.
Another thing to be thankful for, good friends. Thank you to Sherri for thinking of me and the gift of the dolls. What a pleasant surprise. How can you not smile when you see these dolls? They even smell like baby powder.
Also, thanks to the card girls. Kate and I are frequently short 1 or 2 people. Anyone interested in playing 500???
I can't decide if I should paint the baby's room blue or sage green. Anyone have a suggestion? I figure If I do sage green I can use differenct accents... baby blue if it's a boy and lavender if it's a girl. But, blue is my favorite color and shouldn't a girl be able to have a blue room??? And, I'm not doing the whole matching crib set thing. As cute as they are, you usually don't use much of that. The bumpers are dangerous and those quilts are generally useless. I have been searching high and low for wall art and rugs. Again, anyone have suggestions? I did find some darling alphabet wall cards from Land of Nod. Oh, I am going to be using a little art from my niece, Kayla.

Just read all your postings since December. Didn't know you had pneumonia. Hope you are well now. No one is color blind unless they are blind. We all react to what we see, postively and negatively. No one is truly not prejudiced but we can all work on judging a person by what we find inside. I have know some people, who at first glance seem to be unattractive, but after getting to know them them that perception changes. We will love your child, at first because we love you, but we will grow to love him or her for what they are - a child of God. We support you in this great endeavor and are glad that we will be part of the baby's family. Jo is still thinking about adopting a child from Thailand her third year of residency.
We support you in all your endeavors and when your child comes we can cook, clean and gaze upon the child with love. I have some nice wooden puzzles and the price is right!!!! love, nancy and don
Talking about wood puzzles and blocks...do you remember Don helping myself and Adrienne make some wood blocks when we were about 14? I actually took mine to the state fair. I am going to dig those out of the box and use them!
