Bringing up Baby
Such a poor, deprived child. The only thing he has to play with is the puddle.
Miserable, isn’t he?

Well Long Time, No Talk!
Or write.
Or type.
Not quite sure what happened to February, or even March for that matter. Seems like I blinked and it’s almost April.
Lots of good things. So much to fill you in on. So many posts rumbling around in my head.
My little man turns three this week.
And proof that miracles still happen, his birthday cake actually looked like a train. Instead of a blob of icing.
Adoption Update: Our new baby isn’t here yet. But might be tomorrow. Or the next day. Or maybe July.
Hurry up and wait. Wait and then hurry up. It’s that whole patience thing.
It’s good. All good. Busy. But good.
Oh yeah… I wrote a book. It’s almost ready for prime time. Let me know if you want to take it for a test drive.

One year ago we put our names on a waiting list.
Six months ago we started to fill out paperwork.
Three months ago we started our Home Study.
Today, we are 100% Home Study approved. Our “family’s book” has been sent out, our profile has been activated, the bills have been paid.
And now we wait.
And pray.
And wash baby clothes that have been in storage for the last 30 months.
If you ask our Little Man if he wants a new baby, he says YES! Of course, his understanding of the adoption process is a bit wishy-washy. He walks around with a baby-doll shoved up his shirt a lot of the time… It’s just hard to explain to a two year old that our new baby is growing in mommy’s heart, not her tummy.
And just like every other second-time mom, I’m feeling a little bit of panic. I honestly can’t remember too much of the Little Man’s first few months – I must have been there, but I don’t remember much. I guess sleep deprivation will do that to you, huh?
And I’m totally befuddled by the idea of grocery shopping with a toddler and an infant. I know it’s possible… I’ve seen lots of other mommy’s do it. I’m just not quite sure HOW you do it. Or I should say, how you do it and also get groceries into your cart.
But the big news (despite all of my new found neurosis) is that we are going to have a baby… maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, maybe in four months… But we are definitely going to have a new baby.
In the meanwhile, my heart starts pounding every time the phone rings.
