I am trying to stay positive... we are just finishing our paperchase, and the way I am deciding to look at this is in a positive light. We have been through fertility treatments... I am looking at all of this paperchase phase as "paper-fertility treatments" and that when I have my LID, whether I have to wait 10- 14 months...or whatever, It will be like a long pregnancy where I will not get big and swollen, I will have no morning sickness, I will have lots of energy to do the things needed before a child arrives. I will have time to prepare a nursery, read up on attachment issues, prepare my ds for the arrival of his baby sister. I will no doubt want the time to go quickly...as every new expectant mother does, but I am really trying to keep this perspective. Otherwise it can be very hard and depressing having such a long wait. I know I will have my down days... Here's hoping I will keep this attitude for the long haul! ((hugs)) to everyone in the wait...
