Well, I am a little late in saying this....but March 7th marked 2 years since our L.I.D.! To celebrate this, the CCAA finally entered our log-in-date year! The latest information is they have now matched up to 1/04/06! With the average pace being 1 week/ month and the CCAA being about 8 weeks away from our LID, we should be getting our referral in November this year!
I'm also a little late in saying Happy birthday to Stephanie!I thought of my bloggy friend all day on the 7th because our LID just happens to be her birthday as well! Happy Belated Birthday Steph! I tried to blog this entry on the actual day, but the server was down.
I am on Spring Break this week and have been enjoying our beautiful weather here. Dan and I plan to go hiking tomorrow. I hope you all are doing well.
I was thinking the other day...I know pregnancy is supposed to have it's mental preparation cycles, first its, "I'm pregnant" than, "I'm going to have a baby" than, "I'm going to be a mom". Well, I noticed I have moved into a different preparation cycle lately. For the past year, I have not read one ounce of adoption or parenting material. I think it was my way of denying this long wait. However, on our 2 year anniversary and at the notice that the CCAA is finally in 2006, I picked up "Sheparding your child's heart" and began to read about parenting. I guess, I am moving into the "I'm going to be a mom" phase. :) It's about time... :)

Great to hear from you - I am glad you are doing well. You know the saying "Good things come to those who wait"...your wait will be worth it!!! Take care. Kelli
Wow! Two years! I still can't believe it's been two years. I thought about you all day on Friday and was hopping you and Dan were doing something fun. :)
Our girls are coming....Keep the faith.
Hi there my friend! Thank you for the birthday wishes! I was thinking of you on my birthday... (this adoption is truly all consuming)! I'm glad the 2 year marker is here and gone and you (& I) are on the downhill slope of this long long wait. I can totally relate to what you said about the phases of pregnancy/adoption. I too have NOT read a stitch of material about parenting etc... and just this week have found that maternal itch cropping up again. You'll have to let me know if the book you are reading is good.... sometimes I just don't know where to even start. :)
It was good to hear from you!!! Steph
Mardi, I'm so happy to hear of your news! I'm sitting hear just smiling thinking all about how happy you and Dan must be. I am still in the "What in the world am I doing?/I am so...excited about, tired of talking about, so happy to talk about, I don't know what to expect with this adoption phase." I am reading everything and still just leaning on the Lord to help us figure all this out. I am so happy for you and moving onto the actual "parenting phase".
HI!
I can't tell you how good it is to hear from you. I've been thinking about you a lot lately! I sent you an email on your LID anniversary, hope you got it! This is going to be such an exciting year for us! Let me know how you like those parenting books.
Big hugs and congratulations on getting over the "two year hurdle"!
Yes, it is well worth the wait. One day, you will have her, and eventually forget how long you waited. One day, you will look at her and think, "When did she get so big? How has the time gone so quickly?" One day my friend... I can't wait for that day to come for you!!
