change of plans....

Well, if you read my previous post we were taking my hubby out for his Birthday last night and the plan was to go to Montana's for supper and make him wear the buffalo hat, take a picture and post it to my blog...well.... I think he chickened out because he decided that the long wait to get a table would be too much for his back (his back has been bothering him lately), so we decided to make reservations at Boomerangs. Our friend Angela called to make the reservations and see about singing Happy Birthday but they don't do that unless it's the day of your birthday...or a day or two away....very odd....so since Chris's Birthday is only next Thursday we weren't able to at least embarass him that way....oh well....there's still time yet! ha ha ha! We had a great time though, the food was awesome and after supper we headed to Brian and Angela's for a special birthday cake (drumstick cake...mmmmm...).

So, with no picture to post of Chris, I thought I would post one of our fur-baby Ben....he's soooo cute!

CRAZY CRAZY EARLY RUMORS!!!!

Has it really been 2 weeks since I posted last.....oops...sorry! I'll start off on a catch up of the last two weeks.....not much new has really been going on, last weekend we had my sister in law's baby shower - it turned out really nice, she's having a girl and she's due Aug 5. She got a lot of really nice things for her shower and I made note of a couple things I think Madi needs to have..ha ha...

We spent time with friends and finally made it down to the shore for fried clams...(mmm...my favorite) they were so awesome, I can't wait to go back again!

This weekend we don't have much planned, we may go to Montana's with friends to celebrate my Husband's birthday (it's next week, July 26th...Happy Birthday Honey! I love you!)....primarily it's for revenge so a friend of ours - Brian - can pay him back for having to wear the buffalo hat at Montana's for his birthday...so I'm definitely all in for that...I'll post a pic when we go...if I remember my camera that is....!

Ok, so to start on my title of my blog....CRAZY, CRAZY EARLY RUMORS!!! Here goes...my fellow Nov DTC Yahoo pal reports her agency said they were included in August's referrals....and they are logged in the same day as we are....sooo...if they are included we are too!!! Then there was another rumor that only towards the end of November are included, and today 3 more agencies saying all of November and early December are included....sooo...I'm really trying not to get sucked into this crazy rumor vortex, last time I did and it turned out to only be a 2 day referral batch....let's pray this isn't happening again and that the rumor is true....I can't wait to see my beautiful baby girl and start making plans to bring her home!

I'll keep you posted on the rumor roller coaster, for now, take care and we'll chat soon!

7 days down....21 left to go!

Well, it's official....CCAA finished referrals up to November 14, 2005! Being this close to referral and it crawlling by is frustrating. We've got 21 days left of referrals to get through to get to us......when will it happen....it's anyone's guess. We've got to stay patient for a few more months I think.

I'm just beginning to see the end of the rainbow and instead of a pot of gold it will be our life long dream ~a daughter~! How exciting! It's surreal now that we are this close, it seemed that we would never get here but slowly and surely we are getting there. This will be one journey that I'll be glad when it's over :o) To finally hold my baby girl in my arms....what more can I say....

Congratulations to my fellow November DTC members who have received referral, I can't wait to see the pics and follow your journeys.

Take care

I almost forgot....

Well, actually I did forget, but my friend Angela reminded me to post a pic of the t-shirt Chris and I did up on the weekend. I designed what I wanted and Chris put it together for me....what team work! :o)

Here's a pic....

I've only worn it once in public and I've had a lot of people notice my Tee but no one has questioned what it meant yet.....we'll see how it goes!

Where does the time go?

Has it really been 2 weeks since I posted last....ah oh....I'd really be in trouble with my blog followers if I had Madi and didn't post for 2 whole weeks....I guess I'm safe since I still don't have her home with us....we are still counting down the login days....28 to go!


So, what's new with me from the last time I blogged.....hmmm...I received a wonderful swap gift from one of my DTC Yahoo pals, Thanks Juanita for the adorable pink ladybug sweater, stacking cups and the ever cool water bottle no spill spouts (say that 5 times really fast....ha ha!)...those will definitely come in handy when we have our munchkin home with us! Here's a pick of my goodies.


I've taken this picture on my new dining room table. I've been looking for one for a while but haven't really seen any that caught my eye. Well, this past Thursday I was out with my mother-in-law and found this beautiful table at the Homesense....and it was a steal of a deal....I know, I know....I was surprised to find it there too. They just got it in the day before I saw it, I put it on hold for my hubby to look at and we picked it up the next day. So all I have to do is get some chairs to go with it. I'm going to go with all leather chairs, they'll look awesome with it. It's got a huge leaf which stores under the table, so when you pull it apart you just take it out...very practical. It will seat 10 people comfortably with the leaf. Check it out...

Right now it's in the middle of my living room, once we have our renovations done we'll convert that room into a dining room.

That about sums it up. Take care everyone, I'll chat with you soon.

28 days to go....

Some referrals are arriving and it appears as though the cut off is Nov 7....not what I was hoping for, but I guess it's better than a 2 day referral batch. Soooo......we are down to 28 days before our LID is reached...lets all keep wishing and praying that next month will be a large batch!

Congratulations to all those that have received their referrals and to FINALLY see the beautiful face of their long awaited baby!

no news yet....

sorry I've been remiss in posting lately, it's been a busy week and I had been holding out hoping referrals would come in this week so I would have some good news to share, but nope...still no news. The 'rumors' have been all over the place this month so I really don't know what to expect. Hopefully referrals will come out this week. I'll post again when it's confirmed!

Have a Great Weekend everyone! Chat with you soon,
