We are in the fiery center of our second adoption. The emotions are definately different the second time around. I didn't even clean before case worker came for the homestudy. I was much more laid back and kinda had a "don't realy care about the hoops we have to jump through" attitude. I think already having one means that you no longer face the fear of being childless forever. You know it will happen the way it should when it should. There just isn't as much stress, questions, etc. The anxiety is a little less for me, probably because I have an idea of what to expect. Anyway, I hope you don't mind me jumping in since we are matched, but it is our second adoption, and I thought I would congratulate you on being approved and offer support if I could. Good luck may all of your waits be short, painless and end with the child of your dreams! (although our wait was short, it certainly hasn't been painless. And while it is different the second time around, the emotions after a match, no matter how hard you try to protect yourself, are still as strong and difficult as with #1).
