NUMERO UNO

Glitter Words
[Glitterfy.com - *Glitter Words*]

The call could come today, tomorrow, one week, one month....but I get the next call.
I feel pretty much the same as I did when I was number 2, yet a little more jumpy. I always knew that my friend Jules would get the call first, and then tell me, so I wasnt on the front line... but now...I am.

I have shared in everyone else's adoption joy for so long, that I am not sure I am gonna know how to react to my own good adoption news. Three long years to get to this almost point. I must say I am very nervous about it, but so excited.

Oh Lisa,
I read your post and understood your mixed emotions completely! I had so hoped that maybe you had received your own call late yesterday....BUT, just like you said...the very next call is all yours! I'm smiling so big for you and can't wait to read that joyful news and see her lovely face when your turn arrives!
Remember, there are lots of us pulling for you.....so if you get jumpy or whatever you may feel...don't hesitate to reach out and let us support you!
Hugs,

It will be wonderful, scary, and amazing! I thought I would sob...I didn't. I didn't expect to be shaking like a leaf and stuttering...but I was. It was like nothing you could anticipate. I would imagine it is like anticipating labor for the first time. Honey...I am so excited you are next. It has been a long time coming and your turn is next!!! Hang in there. I know it is not a fun place to be...but you will make it. I found it SO annoying when people said the pain of the wait would disappear once you saw that picture. I mean, it really annoyed me. But you know what...they were right. It doesn't help today...but it will be better and soon. You, me and Jules all waited so long! Maybe your daughter will be in Chiayi too, and we can all travel together. THAT would make this all worth it.

OH I am SO happy for you! Hang in there, you are almost there! I can not imagine how you are feeling right now. I don't imagine anything can really explain how they feel right before they are going to have a baby! Let's hope your little one comes soon, we are thinking of you.

I think updates will arrive next week. In the past, when updates arrive...they seem to come with a referral or two. So, keep your phone nearby next week. I have a good feeling that you will get the call very soon. I really do.
