We have officially been waiting 9 months and 1 day on the waitlist. I must say I think I have done pretty well considering I am the most impatient person I know. Don't get me wrong, there were days (especially in July/August) that I thought I wouldn't make it. When we first got on the list I had in my mind we would get a referral at the end of summer. When the end of July came I knew that was never going to happen. I begged M to let us be put back on the boy list (even though I got knots in my stomach every time I thought about it) but I just couldn't wait any longer and i knew we would get a boy faster. Then my anxiousness passed and I set our new referral date in my mind for October. The closer we got to October I knew that was not going to happen. So when our case worker phoned for our monthly update that month I asked her when she would estimate our referral with her case worker knowledge. She said the wait is now 10 months from when you first get put on the list. (This does not count how ever many months it takes to complete the paper chase) So my new date set in my mind is December... that's in 4 days. I'm ready. We are unofficially number 2 but I don't think it will happen until the end of December... and if it doesn't.... I might lose it. I can't wait to see our babies face.
In other happenings, our homestudy update/addendum has finally been completed and we sent 2 notarized copies to AGCI this mornin. Woohoo. I am so glad to have that done so it won't cause any problems when we receive our referral.
