Not So Patient...

Today I am going a little crazy. I keep analyzing every bit of information I have, trying to calculate when we should be getting our referral. The last few families who have our same parameters have waited 9 months.(not sure how long into the 9 months they were) As I was calculating time, my phone range and it was an out of state number. (yesterday a 619 number phoned me and for some reason I thought that was Oregon's area code so I was really excited when i answered it..... Apparently 619 is San diego) I wasn't going to fall for the same trick today so I answered the phone and to my surprise it was B. My heart started racing and I got teary eyed, thinking this may be the call. She received our homestudy update so was phoning to let us know where to send the other copy to. I kept waiting for her to say "and then I also have a little girl I want to talk to you about" It never happened. So at the end of our conversation I told her I was bummed this was not our referral call. She felt really bad but did say it would be coming. (She doesn't know when until she gets the email with our babies referral info) But she did say to expect to get our monthly number update which should be coming in a week or two. That little bit of info helps so I know not to expect the call within the next week or so. At least I can now prepare for how I will react when we do get the call. Definitely tears and possibly a slight cracky voice....
