I have had some requests for updates on our adoption process- so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. Life duties won out over blogging and my sinuses have been really messed up this week. It's hard to feel witty or creative when your face feels like it has shards of glass in it. This post comes to you courtesy of my sinus infection- it may make a lot of typos and babble on, since sinus infections generally don't write blog posts.
So, where do we stand in the adoption process now? Same place we stood last time I wrote. Waiting waiting waiting. In less than two months we will be on the LMHL (last minute hospital list) which means it will be a year since we went live, because you get added to that list at 12 months. We will not be defying any average wait times apparently. In the meantime, we have been making ourselves busy as usual.
Today marks day 17 of the 30 day yoga challenge. Last night was working your way into splits and I literally laughed when I saw the title. Surprisingly though, I got a lot closer (with right leg forward only) than I thought I would. The left side of my body must be tighter than the right. I am loving yoga, even if I whine my way through some of the sessions, I feel so amazing afterward that I keep going back to it to relax and feel good. I recommend it for anyone who is in a stressful period of life.
John is about to start a new season of league curling with the Atlanta Curling Club. It starts in September, so they are doing all of the prepwork over the next month. He has a trip to Charlotte, NC for another bonspiel coming up, but I can't go, since Tech classes start right after and I have orientation sessions to work. We start getting a little busy right before classes start each fall. I really wish I could go with him! I keep picturing next year's bonspiels with a baby strapped to my chest, all bundled up and warm. Our little family exploring a new city while the other teams curl.
Things to look forward to: Another yoga challenge that I am adding to my current one starts August 4th. The overlap should be interesting. Ladies night out with other waiting adoptive/adoptive moms at a painting studio. We are all also trying to organize a picnic for the families who are waiting to adopt or have already adopted through IAC's Georgia office, just for some fun and support. John and I think it is really important to have an adoption network even after we adopt. For our sake and our child(ren)'s sake. Fall is coming, which means 5ks again. I don't like to do them in the summer, because my lungs have a serious complaint with Georgia humidity.
So, here we sit, waiting for our family to grow. Busying ourselves with distractions and prepping the nursery as usual. We are ever hopeful that our baby is on his or her way to us. Thank you to everyone for the ongoing support!
