It's been one day shy of 5 weeks since we last got a picture and update on our daughter. Our agency said we'll likely be getting updates every 4-6 weeks. (Which I am SO grateful for!) I tell my husband that I'm not that emotionally attached to her yet, but I know I'm such a lier.
I am completely and deeply in love with her. I sit at my computer email and click "Send/Receive" over and over and over, all day long, as if I will somehow be able to "will" an email update and pictures to magically appear. What's really crazy is that I find myself still doing this at 8 or 9 o'clock at night - long after our agency has closed.
Today I very nearly pulled out all the Thanksgiving decorations and even wanted to put up the Christmas tree - as if that would make the calendar read "December" instead of "September." (LOL- my husband would die if he came home to that, so rest assured, those seasonal items are still packed away...)
I told myself I wasn't going to be one of "those" people that obsessed over everything. I would turn in the dossier and then go back to my ordinary life until it was time for her to come home. Ha. I was seriously delusional to think that would be possible!
