Well, it's June -- and still waiting. No word yet on if my dossier has been translated and sent back to the U.S., until I have a referral, this may not happen, so not terribly unusual.I did have the honor of my first baby shower last weekend! Since my timeline is so up in the air right now, and all of my family is back in Ohio, sooner seemed like a good idea. So I packed the dogs up, and made that wonderful 9 hour drive to the big OH. I was able to work during the week from our office in Dublin, so it all worked out great. The shower was wonderful, hosted by my Mom and our friend Anita Patterson. It was fantastic to see people I hadn't seen in a while, and I was shocked and thrilled when Deb Drum, my close friend who lives in West Palm Beach Florida showed up to join us! It meant quite a lot, and I still can't believe she was crazy enough to make the trip! So we all had a great time, talking, and spending about an hour talking about the adoption and all of the things that go with it.I am happy to say that the beloved car seat was one of my gifts, so that was a huge load off my mind! So once again I end this months entry by saying that yes, I still do hold my breath every time the phone rings! Also, if someone knows a psychic, could you send me their number?Until next month, keep those fingers crossed!
