this is what i wish i was wearing today .. sadly it is one million degrees outside and i would melt .. moving on ..

RT and i were having dinner last night and we were talking about the adoption {surprise! surprise!} which led to the last year+ of trying to become parents and one main thing this time has been is a lesson in patience

whether it was when we were just talking about if we were ready to start a family or when we were actively trying before we knew about the i word or when we were going through rounds of ivf or now when we were going through the adoption process .. it is all A LOT of waiting

we started talking about having kids in june
we decided to start trying at the beginning of august
and then twiddled our thumbs until august arrived

we found out about the i word in october and made the decision to do ivf

we had to wait until january to start round 1

then we had to wait until april to transfer

then wait 10 more days for a pregnancy test

then wait until may to start round 2

then wait to transfer in june

then 10 more days for the next pregnancy test

then decide to start the adoption process

become busy busy bee to get all of your pictures and paperwork together

wait 4 weeks for the home study

then 2-3+ more weeks to receive the finished home study

then send in applications to agencies

then wait to be approved

then wait to be presented to birth moms

then wait to be matched

then wait for the baby to come

 

wait

wait

wait

 

we are currently waiting on our finished home study

not impatiently but just waiting

no matter how eager we are things take time and we have to be patient

we are constantly hurrying up to wait some more

you think GOD is trying to teach us something?? {ha!}

happy weekend!
