It seems that tomorrow Leslie and Evelyn and I will be meeting our Social Worker for the first time! EEEK! We have a chance to go in and have the Medical Conditions Checklist signed. That means that we can fax that to our agency, along with the Family Info Sheet and hopefully get our place in line for referral. The Social Worker also wants to set up the first home visit for our Home Study as early as next week.
I couldn't be happier. The sooner I get this stuff done, the sooner I can get to the shopping that I am telling myself I won't be doing. I am so very excited to get this new little person into our lives. It doesn't seem completely real to me yet. I am at that stage where it feels weird to talk about a second child in solid and definite ways. I keep "trying it on for size" though, calling her by name and letting myself plan out the nursery, a little bit- things like that.
Part of me is so shocked! The last time I did this, I was in Alaska and everything was so much harder. It took much longer to arrange the home study as the social worker had to drive 4 hours to get to us. Everything we mailed out took a week to reach it's destination. It feels so fast but, so good.
It really is fast too. When you consider that just less than a month ago, we weren't even talking about this and now that Home Study is looming.
Also a note on names..... we have a possibility for both a boy and a girl picked out. But, we are not telling..... not yet anyway. We are doing alot of talking about a girl and a sister but we are aware that what we talk about and check on the paper won't really matter- we will get the child that we are meant to have. SO we may end up with a boy. We ARE leaning for a girl though.
( I am no fool. I know that once the paperwork is done and I am down to just waiting to see the face of my youngest child- I know that time will drag and I will wonder how I will ever stand the wait)
