I'm Taking A Break...

...from posting to the blog.
I have no news...what is the point.

Frankly, I am sick of posting that nothing has happened. There is nothing more to prepare for or do at the house. If you walked in, you would think a baby lived there except that one doesn't.

I think that this morning I officially lost all hope.
I have never felt this hopeless, and helpless in my life, and quite frankly, I don't know how to handle it....and I am not handling it well.

I need a break.
So, to all my loyal readers out there...thanks for all your support...but until (if) we get our First Ruling...I am going to go into hiding for awhile...not a pity party...its just how I feel.

Heather,

I just know something is going to come for you this week. In fact everything including AIT appointments are speeding up, so I'm guessing that things are going to go quickly for you after this.

I'm so sorry your 1st Ruling is taking so long! I can only imagine how horrible that must feel. I am checking daily on the boards for your great news.

Huge hugs,

Lora

Don't give up hope. Just post on adoption related subjects once a week. It's tough waiting after referral.

You're reaching the end of the typical wait time so your number MUST be coming up soon. I can't wait to celebrate with you when it does. Please hang in there and don't lose heart. Feel free to call me if you need to vent.

I know what you mean about loosing hope, it is a terrible feeling and so hard to deal with. I wish I could make it go away for you, and I don't really know how to handle it either. I am thinking of you and Olivia and hope good things happen soon.

Heather, I just want you to know how much I sympathize with you. For some reason the hardest part of this whole process for me HANDS DOWN was the wait between the hearing and the first ruling. I don't really know why except it is that so close yet so far away feeling. I felt very depressed during that time. It will happen and you will have your beautiful baby girl in your arms. In the meantime I am thinking of you! Sarah = )

Oh Heather, i'm sorry to hear you're so down. I'm assuming you've gotten an update recently? I hope! Things will pick up soon I"m sure!

Things did while waiting for frist ruling: Address envelopes for your adoption announcements. You won't have time once she's home! Are you finished with "baby proofing" the house now? Cabinet locks,outlet protectors, and such all ready? Install the car seat and have a baby about her size sit in in so that you know that you have the straps close to the right position. It's no fun trying to adjust straps the FIRST time a baby is going into a car seat. They're mad, and you're anxious. Let me know if you run out of things to do. I feel for you. Been there, done that.

Hi Heather,

I don't blame you for not wanting to post to your blog until you get some good news. One thing I know that you have here is a great support system, there are alot of people out there rooting for you and Paul.
