Still waiting...

Today I was gagging over the smell of burnt coffee. Yesterday I had diarrhea and was gagging so bad over the smell I was afraid I was going to throw up. I don't gag over smells very often, does that mean I'm pregnant? Isn't it funny how we think anything out of the ordinary is a sign that we've conceived a child? I was looking at the calendar trying to see if the timing would be right. Yeah probably not pregnant... lol.

People tell you about how so-n-so decided to adopt and then got pregnant. Us? We decided to start this foster to adopt route... 15 months ago? And guess what, my monthly has come 15 times since. There's this one lady I know that raised the money she needed to adopt, got the nursery all ready, and then she got pregnant while waiting for the phone call. Guess that's me sitting here this morning thinking, "If that's us it'll happen... now.". But for us even if I got pregnant now... We'd still open our house for fostering, unless for some reason they said we couldn't, we would. We figure if nothing else we could help at least one child. After that I guess we'll play it by ear.

The whole fostering thing is at a stand still again right now. Apparently our case worker Sonya doesn't have the file with our home study in it yet. Until that folder meets up with her folder she can't tell us what all else we're needing in our folder. She's supposed to get that folder by the 23rd, so hopefully she'll be getting back to me soon.

Patience is not an easy thing, and my excitement about becoming a foster mom is going down hill the more I feel like it's never going to happen.
