I wrote a post and tried to keep it up beat on Tuesday but never posted it. I admit - I complained a little about all the red tape, all the in's and outs about this particular adoption without getting too personal. The bottom line is the communication between us and the agency could be a little bit better. I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty because I really wanted to keep these last few weeks on the positive side. Some of you I've shared a bit with but I still have left some stuff out and have had to because it is personal information about our potential birth parents. This process is definitely challenging and all I can do is focus on the end result and try my hardest to not sweat the so called process in the mean time. Let me put it this way - there is a lot more to just being matched and waiting for the birth of your hopeful baby. There is paperwork, major decisions, an extreme amount of trust and much much more.
So we have less than 9 weeks till baby boy's due date!! I know that the BM is going to be getting a sonagram on Friday and I sure wish I could be there... How neat would that be! Anyhow - it wasn't offered and I didn't press for it because logistically it's kinda impossible for us to work that out. However I am looking forward to getting possibly a picture (I will try and press for that), as well as finding out how he's doing in there!
I have officially been pumping every 2-3 hours around the clock since last Thrusday, not to mention I also was bed ridden with a horrible cold/flu for the first 4 days too! That was fun... Actually it wasn't all that bad. The cold was/still is rough, but once the pumping started progressing, it became something I looked forward to seeing. It has really been great for me because it makes me feel more connected to this match and hopeful, like in a few weeks I really am going to be feeding a baby. This journey for us has been much longer than the adoption process. It's been about 4 years in the making and we are almost there...
