no news.

Still just waiting over here.  I figured I should probably update so that everyone didn't think we forgot about the blog.  :)  Everything has been turned in on our end.  They're still waiting to get the clearance letters back from our background checks.  Once those are in, our social worker will contact us, and we can start the home study.

almost done!

I talked to LSS yesterday to see if they had received any of the items that they're supposed to be getting.  She said the medical forms came, and 1 referral letter is in.  That means, we just have to wait for 2 more referral letters, and then we need to send in a couple more forms once we move on the 18th.  I have them pretty much ready to go, so I should be able to toss them straight in the mail on that day.  After that we wait for the home study.

I'm getting anxious.  I feel like this has been a whole bunch of "hurry up and wait" for us.  We worked so hard to get everything completed before the adoption training, and now it seems like it's taking forever to finish the rest of it.  If we didn't have to redo things because of the move, it probably could've been done faster.

doctor's appointments

Had my doctor's appointment today, and it went wonderfully.   I ended up having to see someone who wasn't my regular doctor, because I couldn't get in with him until mid-December.  However, I absolutely loved this doctor!  She was great!  She made me feel so comfortable and like she really cared.  I may just go back to her again.

Ben had an appointment with the same doctor last week, and he really liked her as well.  Anyway, we are both as healthy as can be, other than my fast heart rate, which I (and they) chalked up to nerves.  It went down 30 beats/minute from the beginning of the appointment to the end.

So now this application process is officially out of our hands, which is exciting, but also kind of terrifying.  We are just waiting on referrals, and then we wait to see if we have been accepted.  After that, we can move on to the next step - home study!
