It’s not official yet. There is still some paper work to be done and some hoops to jump through, but the adoption peeps are recommending our application be approved.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I will say this was by far the MOST humiliating experience of my life to have my personality ripped apart in front of a group of strangers and my husband. Turns out I really am bat shit crazy.
But not the ‘throw me into a padded room and wrestle with the straight jacket’ variety of crazy.
More the ‘control freak, aggressive, chew your faces off and eat your young, strong personality’ type of crazy.
I’ll take it.
Oh, and the adoption peeps know about the blog.
Ya. Good times. Nothing like digging your own grave and eating a little crow.
Let’s all say hello and thank you to the nice ladies who I have mocked and terrorized over the course of the year, shall we?
I now think they shoot rainbows and sunbeams out their backsides.
I’m nothing if not fickle. But I’ll write more about that later, when I’ve recovered from my humiliation and come down from my euphoric high of being told I’m gonna be a mommy again.
With no morning sickness, hemorrhoids or swollen belly.
Don’t hate on me all you pregnant ladies.
I’m crazy. The report said so.
And thank you once again, for all the well wishes, support and emails you have sent me. It kept me warm and fuzzy as I rocked back and forth and listened to just how certifiable the athletically trim and charming psych dude thought I was.

That is MOST excellent news…
Friday, 19 October, 2007 at 18:25
Who, after reading your blog, could not think you are wonderful and honest and loving.
That is going to be some lucky child who gets your family as their own.

Saturday, 20 October, 2007 at 10:22
I’ve been a lurker around these parts for… well I guess 9 months or so. I found you right after I found out I was pregnant with my #3. I read your blog on Sept 17… Season of Grief. It just so happens that I was in labor when I read that blog. You’ve put a whole new perspective on unconditional love. Thank you!!
I am so glad you are getting a child! There is a little boy/girl out there who is going to be very lucky to have you for a mama. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Saturday, 20 October, 2007 at 14:20

I’m thrilled to pieces for you and Boo and the kids. My hormones are stampeding all over the place…sniffle sniffle SNORT. Absolutely overjoyed for you guys!!
Sunday, 21 October, 2007 at 7:01
Crazy is good. Come to think of it, I don’t know if I’ve ever met a Mommy who isn’t a tad crazy. Maybe it’s the degree of crazy they should measure.
Congratulations!
Sunday, 21 October, 2007 at 9:23
Back again, because, damn, this just made me so happy! Pardon what will surely be obsessive checking in until the next post.

FUDGE YEAH!
Oh, still don’t have it in me.
Thought that counts.
Friday, 26 October, 2007 at 10:30
They’d have to have been crazy themselves not to realize what an awesome mom you are, and could be out there to another child.
Simply beautiful news. And after reading your tribute to missing your Bug, it’s brought the smile right back to my teary face.
Saturday, 27 October, 2007 at 16:18
