Just trying to Make It Over Here
Today has been rough. I'm working in a pharmacy that has internet and cell service so I have worn myself out over here checking blogs today!! I wish I could shake the hope that it could be anyday. I keep telling myself it could be a while but then somewhere in the early morning I start to say, it could be today. Poor Cortney has called me three times today and he sounds pitiful. He says hello then waits for the next sound I make to see if it is the shrill scream of excitement he wants to hear or the frustrated dissapointment that he doesn't want to hear. My sister is doing the same thing these days. When I call them I can actually hear them holding their breath until I say something one way or the other. Ahh, the wait is hard on everyone. I wish that I could brace myself for 4 more weeks of waiting. I have a nasty feeling that it could be that long. I think years of failed fertility cycles and negative pregnancy tests have taken their toll on my optimistic side. I wish I could be on the other side looking back at how I am glad the wait is over. Soon, I hope..soon.

I have to tell you that I was talking to my mom today...they are missionaries and live overseas...and she checks your blog as often as I do, I think. She said, "it is weird because I don't even know them...but I feel like I know them". I told her that I feel the same way! We are really HOPING for you. I am going to cry when that call finally comes for you. I am almost as excited for your referral as I am for my own :) Lets not even think that it will four more weeks...none of us will be able to stand seeing you wait that much longer! It HAS to be sooner! Amy
I'll say what I always say, "It won't be long now... I can feel it..." Love ya bunches!
Lindsey,
I'm sorry you are having a bad day. I'm thinking of you, like your sister said, It will happen soon!
Much Love,
Renee
Keep your chin up, it'll happen and then all that waiting won't matter. You are next, I know you are, I can't wait!!
I'm sorry you're having a blah day. I'm so anxious for your referral too. Yours is one of the blogs that I've followed from the beggining. I think I'll bawl like a baby when that call comes for you guys. :) I bet I check your blog 50 times a day. Soon...very soon!

I so understand your emotions. Just remember, it's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN. I remember actually hitting a point where I irrationally thought, "I guess it's just not going to happen for us." But it will, and it will be perfect -- and all this time will just melt away. Your little baby is out there already chosen for you, just waiting to be so loved by you two. So hang in there and try to enjoy this incredible time knowing that you're going to be a mom any day now -- and you still have great abs =) Much love to you both! Carey
I just said to my husband..."Well, another day with no call, another dy with no call." I too know it will happen but the when is killing me. I just keep thinking today could be the day...Okay, let's start our day tomorrow optimist and with the full knowledge that God is control and today could be the day.
hang in there, guys. Hopefully you will be screaming into the phone in no time.
You three are in our prayers everyday.
We've been following your blog since the beginning and are so sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time lately. We are still working on the application, so we have a long way yet to go, but already have experienced the ups and downs of this process. I can't imagine how much crazier it will all be once we're actually done with the paperwork and waiting for our referral... I just try to remind myself that it will all be worth it in the end! We're thiking of you and hoping your referral comes soon. - M&R
Just found your blog! Ahhh! Waiting seems to be the worst part. No other paperwork to take up your time! Hopefully, you will get your referral soon though - you've been waiting long enough! :)
I just thought I would let you know that I am praying for you today...God is so faithful and I REALLY feel like it is going to be soon- so maybe that will cancel out your thoughts that it may still be a few more weeks! This babe is already loved by so many of us and so we will pray that he comes home to you SOON.
We're only five weeks into the wait and I can relate! It will happen - Love your blog! I'm going to add it to our links!
Hang in there and thanks for sharing - Lori
Hang on tight. Your time is coming and when it does you won't have a chance to stop and think. I am just now processing all that has happened between Tsebay's referral and now. The wait is tough but worth every second. I will be checking in often. I look forward to seeing your little one and hearing your story.
I am Amy's mom and just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you today (your day has just started but it is 7 hours later here). Amy is right, I check yours immediately after checking Amy's blog. HA! Just wanted you to know you have friends all over the world thinking about and praying for you and Cortney today. Shelia
did you see where Becca got their referral?....you're next!!!!
