Surgery tomorrow

Well after months of whining about my sinus infection it is finally going to get fixed. I'm a little nervous about the surgery. I'm sure I'm just being a wimp.

It is out patient but I am not allowed to do much at all for 2 weeks. Two weeks of doing nothing sounds great but only if I'm sitting at the beach sipping margarita's.


Wish me luck!

Do adoptive parents take parenting classes?

Anyone?

Edit: We did take adoptive classes at Children's Hospital. I highly recommend them. Once we get our little one home we will probably speak on their panel.

I was more or less curious about teaching my hubby (love him, but lots to learn) about changing diapers, feeding, etc...

Since I do so much work with kids I am trained in first aid and CPR. Joel needs to get his certification updated before peanut comes home. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no hurry.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Only 3 spots

It's 7 months waiting today. Okay, don't judge. Maybe it is slightly pathetic to post on the 10th of every month as if I am watching the days, hours, and minutes (oh wait---I am).

According to the unofficial list we have only moved up 3 spots in the last month. It's a little depressing. To top things off I feel like crap. This sinus infection is making me completely miserable. I was sick for labor day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and now Easter. Hopefully by Memorial Day I will be feeling better. I'm not thrilled about sinus surgery but I certainly am thrilled to get rid of this.

This sucks!

There I said it. This sucks!!! I am so frustrated right now. I really felt like we were making progress for awhile but at the moment I think we are at a stand still. To top things off the guilt is setting in.

We are #65 on the list right now. What does that mean? That means that 65 new families will be formed before ours, but it also means 65 birth families will be separated. And that's just with our agency.
