On the LIST!!!

So, as of yesterday we are officially on the list!!! Which technically means any day...or month:) we could get "The Callllll"....The whole thing has been very surreal. I mean when you are pregnant you feel the baby, you feel yucky a lot(in my case anyway), and you have an approximate due date...It just seems so strange to do paperwork, go to classes, pay money....It just seems so strange that there is a baby at the end! I have actually enjoyed the whole process. For us the whole thing has been a very positive experience. There is much waiting involved, but up to this point our waiting has been busy, so it hasn't bothered me all. We are just very excited!
I have been busy getting things ready. Washing baby clothes...etc. So our profile has been sent to Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Utah, and possibly Texas. They are also searching locally. Just a big adventure waiting to happen!
I'm also planning on nursing the baby. We have researched all kinds of options for this and I ended up going with the Nursing Trainer. It is a pouch that sits on your shoulder with the formula, and it has a tube that goes down, so while you "nurse" the baby, it gets the food while nursing. The child nursing stimulates you to produce milk, and the hope is to start producing majority of the milk supply. The man invented this contraption because he and his wife were not able to have children, and when they adopted she really wanted to nurse. So he invented this, and by the time their adopted baby was 4 months old she was producing 75% of the milk herself, and she had never been pregnant before! When I called to order this contraption I actually got to speak with this guy! It was really cool, and he seemed to think in no time I would be able to build a decent supply since I had previously nursed. Oh! I forgot to mention he invented this thing in like 1969...I guess there are hundreds of stories of women that this contraption has helped. So I'm really excited about that. I was reading the side effects of the drugs they use to help women get the milk, and I just didn't want to risk it. So, in a few moments here I'm going to go into the kitchen and whoop up some baby's formula. It's a recipe from Nourishing Traditions. I'm planning on making enough to last about 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping to have enough for traveling to get the baby. From what we have heard you can end up in another state for up to about 2 weeks. So once I get that formula made and frozen, then you can ask me how I'm doing in the waiting period....That's the last thing on my to do list before "the call". dun dun dunnnnn...that's music btw.
So the girls in the family are heading to Chicago, with no children!!, in the start of May...Lookout Chicago...I think Josh might try to put a stop on my credit card for the weekend...we'll see:) Anyone need their hair done? JK! JK! Really, I don't think he would do that to me. Let's not give him any bright ideas. Then in the end of May Josh's sweet cousin is getting married! So fun! Then in September we have a family trip to Disney in Cali planned!!! Fun year! I'm mentioning all this because I'm just so curious about the timing thing. It's just so fun to wonder when in the world we might be traveling to get a baby!! I'm ready!
