Countdown Starts Now?

Last Friday (after the exciting late Thursday night CC** update!) my Dad called to congratulate me on moving forward in the adoption process. Then he called my brother & SIL and told them "Shannon's pregnant!" I still can't believe he did that...shocks me and cracks me up! Who would've thunk he would be calling up family and excitedly informing them his single daughter is pg?!
I think we all feel better knowing I've made it through the review room and that now everything should be good to go, so to speak. So now that I'm "really" pg (and not just LID pg!), I should be expecting Ellie in nine months or less, right?!
This shirt from Adoptionmama.com speaks volumes, but doesn't explain the weight/wait gain!
Also, in between boogie-ing down to the new Miko song, my Mom picked up Ellie's 100 wishes quilt squares. She's been dreaming up possible quilt patterns and I think the winning design has been chosen! Giggy is going to look for other pieces of fabric to coordinate the many different designs and types of fabrics. All that fabric has been in a big heap on the floor for what seems like forever. (Kind of like the dossiers at the CC**.) There's not a lot of time to waste, really, before getting the 100 wishes quilt and a million other things done...pregnancy lasting only nine months and all. =) Ok, more likely within twelve months...but one can hope!
When you look at twelve months versus adding the "already have waited almost twelve," it kind of seems manageable. Sort of.
Just moving along and trying to stay positive. I just need some excitement and fun in my life. Good excitement only need apply.
