I talked with my agency casemanager earlier this week and there's a chance we may get our court dates for this month!!! I could know as soon as the end of this week...that's friday. Friday also happens to be my birthday!!! How wonderful would that be if I got the news then? Of course I don't mind getting the news a day early, like tomorrow. Better than a day late like Monday.
I can't believe there's a possibility that in less than 2 weeks I could be back in Russia seeing our little girl!
It's funny because I felt like I've been nesting. Right before the due date of both my boys I started in on some nesting project. Getting something ready for their arrival. So for my nesting for Emily we spent this weekend putting the crib rail back up on Emily's crib, hanging a few pictures in her room, washing all her sheets, her clothes, her bottles, etc and then packing her suitcase for the trip.
I have to admit since I have come back the waiting for the call for a court date has been so very hard. But now, since I found out this news..this week has been sooooo long filled with just waiting, waiting!
The hardest part is that my boys' birthdays are both the end of April and the beg. of May..just 3 days apart. (again with the number 3...my favorite number) In fact 3 years ago, I missed my oldest child's 2nd birthday because I was still in the hospital due to an emerg c-section for my youngest. Just this month I had been working on their joint birthday party and had the invites all ready to be mailed for their birthday party which I was hosting a weekend before either of their actual birthdays. I didn't think we would go back in April so I thought I was pretty safe hosting their birthday parties a week early. So needless to say, their party is on hold... If I get to wish for which week to go.. I'm so hoping we get to go the week before the end of April so I don't have to miss both their birthdays! How ironic that would be if I missed both their birthdays because of their sister's "birth" into our family. Then I will have officially missed my oldest son's b-day twice, my younger son's once and my daughter's once. Not a very good track record already. Let the guilt rain down.
Oh...I just want that phone to ring!!

Oh this is wonderful news!! Yay!
It would be very ironic if you had to miss both of their birthdays to go get your "3"rd child. :)
WOOHOO, we'll have to meet up :). We leave on Saturday, April 26th. We'll be in Moscow from May 4th until the 8th.
I will be so happy when you tell me that the phone rang. I missing the birthdays in that order is very unusual.
Well if you had to miss their birthdays ... that would be a great gift to bring back for them. I hope that your court date comes as soon as possible so that you can go pick up your little one !
Wow. That would be great news!! What an amazing story your children would be able to tell if it did indeed happen that way.
Just wanted you to know that I am following along. I've tried to leave comments a few times unsuccessfully. I just want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We cannot wait to hear good news soon and see pictures of your sweet little girl.
Many Blessings!
