7 months!
It's been 7 months since my paper work has been logged in with the CCAA. When I first started this process I thought I would be getting ready to go to China right now. This wait has brought up very interesting emotions for me. The first month I was really excited and was surprised how "easy" this was going to be. Then things started to slow down. I still wasn't really concerned. I was sure that it was going to be one slow month and things would pick up. Things didn't pick up and I started getting anxious. I think January was the most depressing part of the entire wait for me. I was sure that something had gone terribly wrong and that I wouldn't get a referral at all. I started to make alternate plans in my mind. I thought, "Well, I could always switch to Guatemala or Vietnam..." I know it sounds crazy, but it was the only way I could make myself feel better. I always have a plan A, B, C and D. Now it's March. I can't believe it's already March. I actually feel like this is going to happen. I am pretty confident that I will have Eliza in my arms in the next few months. Now the feelings of "am I ready?" are beginning to set in again. Ready or not here I come!!!!

You are so ready, Tiffany!!! :) And you are almost there!!!!
Hugs to you!
Yes, Tiffany, you are ready! And there is a glimmer of hope now that things will begin to pick up a little.
I can relate with your feelings. The seven month mark was the hardest for me. Now, it's almost spring and that's the time for new life/growth. The trees start blooming, etc. Our little girls will begin to bloom into their new lives.
We're so close!
It's really true how feelings change throughout the wait. I started off excited and then slowly became deflated(for about 3 months!). Now I'm starting to feel like you are...at least you have your nursery done!!
You're almost there, Tiffany! Hang in there just a little longer. I really do have a feeling things are going to speed up, even if it's just a little!
Tiff, every single minute of all of this will be so worth it when you finally meet your sweetie! I am so happy and excited for you! And you are finally getting closer and closer!
You are going to be such a great mom, and YES you're ready, even if you don't feel like it. :-) Bring on the referrals!!!!
Hang in there you are so close! I predict that May flowers will bring Eliza :O
7 months down!! So close to having your baby in your arms! S'wonderful!!
