Omg! I Got The Call!

OMG! I GOT THE CALL! I am so excited that I just don't know what to do with myself. We leave the 15th. It is a blind referral so we know nothing except IT IS A GIRL!

I was at subbing at a school and after I brought the kids the gym for their special I decided to check my messages. The agency left a message to call them so after I started screaming, I ran to get my cell phone to call her back. Of course, I then realized that I left it at home. I ran back into the school to call my husband and he had already talked to them. I started crying and haven't been able to sit still since. I was in such a good mood that no matter what the kids did I just let them go.

I bursting,,,

Me Too!!!

This must be the week for them!! We got the call on Saturday afternoon and accepted the referral today. Yes, we will have an IA evaluate everything, but we were very happy with what we saw, and well, he's the one. We both knew it.
