First, thank you all for your comments on my post from yesterday. They are highly appreciated and I will get back to some of you who have offered to help. I just need to find the time to really work on these issues. Between Spanish class and work I barely have time for anything else...
I had an evaluation in Spanish today and it sounds like I am on track. I probably will even be able to finish my class before August. The teacher was happy with my level of fluency and the fact that I just talk. I guess I need to slow down a little in order to think about what I am saying before I speak and control what is coming out of my mouth more to avoid little mistakes I am still making.
Yesterday I didn't have time to write, so I just write this as my post from yesterday. Two more months until our lives will change completely. At least we hope so. Even if I try not to get too excited it is hard not to think about it all day. I now feel comfortable talking about it and sharing our news with most of our friends. But I still have this nagging feeling about the possibility of her changing her mind. I pray for her every day and hope that she is in peace with her decision.
I also tried to set up a time and date with our friend that has offered to bless us with lots of baby stuff that she doesn't need any more. I think I am now o.k. with having some baby stuff in the house. That is already a progress for me, right? I feel that once the baby is here, we won't have a lot of time to think about these things because we will need them... And it might be difficult to do all the shopping with a newborn in tow... But I still think we will wait with the car seat and stroller until we are much closer to the due date.
We haven't heard anything from the agency. Our request to receive an update on the pregnancy was mailed to them, but the emails keep bouncing back. I mailed it to them in the normal mail yesterday. I don't know whether that is a good sign or a bad sign. The expectant mother is now in week 31 of her pregnancy and the baby should be about 4 pounds. I can't wait to hold him for the first time. How am I getting through the next 61 days???

Trust me when I tell you it flies by...and a little nesting might help the time go by faster :) Nursery?? STrollers?? Bottle cleaning??
I am glad things are still going well for you. Maybe the birthmom will give you some more information via the agency. That would be great for you guys.
I can't imagine the pins and needles! Just make sure you make time to schedule an appointment at your local fire department to learn to strap in your carseat properly! 80-90% of carseats are not installed properly! (i'm finished with my public service announcement! *wink*)
