Adventures of trying to breathe...

Another day has passed with no word. Though the one word that we keep hearing from everyone is to just breathe. If only it was truly that simple. I am breathing is what I want to say...it is just some times really fast and then other times it may take a moment due to lack of focus. The anticipation of joy is mixed with the fear that maybe they will not realize how much we could love little V. 


I am grateful that we have Ms. M to help navigate the time delays and is willing to say things like "yank the chain" of people who should be responding. None of this can fast enough. Even when the  call comes that we are matched it will all still will be waiting. Waiting to meet him..waiting to visit...waiting for the first overnight...waiting for him to come home. Those are the good waits. Waiting for a yes or no about a child we are dreaming about is the terrible wait. 


I really want this blog to not just be us complaining about the wait or reminding everyone that we are waiting, so with that being said we will share some of hopes for the upcoming future and things we are looking forward to when our child/children come home.


1. I am really excited to have a car seat in my car. (Yes, I know this is a weird thing to state, but looking in our backseat now that has perfect upholstery is another sign that it is just the two of us)


2. We are excited about having a little person that wants to go to the park and snuggle on the couch at the end of the night. (Again, we realize these moments will be few and far in between)


3. One thing we always worry about is how our furkids are going to do with the new kids. So far the cats are going for the win. Ziggy has allowed Q to lay on him and not even scratch. The dogs are not doing so hot. Bogart barks non stop and Keiichi just bites (thank goodness he has no teeth). Our dogs have been our children so we really hope that they adjust to having children all of the time and love them, well eventually.


These are just a few things that come to mind. As for now I will jump every time the phone rings and wonder if it is THE CALL or get excited when my phone tells me that a new email is coming.


Thank you to everyone that is being so supportive and loving through all of this. I know that we have been terrible about returning phone calls, mailing packages or generally keeping up. The time has a way of getting away from us even if it isn't as fast we want. So thanks for the love and patience.
