Not Showing

After three long and stressful years of infertility I can honestly say I too am expecting! From Guatemala!

Just an update

It's been about a month since I last posted. Wow time is really flying by!
We have already begun our homestudy. We had the first visit last Wednesday and the second (and final) visit is tonight. I'm very excited to be reaching this milestone in our adoption process. After the homestudy we just sit back and wait. There will be a couple of more forms to fill out but the major stuff is complete. I realized the other day that maybe in a few more months we will have our match to a baby. How exciting!

J and I are so happy that things are progressing along nicely. We have been working on the house a little bit more and just enjoying each other right now. I'm not even upset about all of this rain we have been having in the Northeast. I knew it was coming anyway. With the wonderful summer and month of September we had we were bound to get hit hard with some nasty weather. See, that's my cynical side of me that I think comes from being infertile and dealing with infertility over the last three years. If you read Julie's latest blog entry you will see what I mean. She really made me think about all that J and I have gone through and how we have dealt with it. Dealing with infertility has made me a different person - some good and some bad.
I'm more cynical, jadded and bitter but I'm also stronger and more sensitive. Even though we are in the process of adopting, which I'm THRILLED about, I'm still an infertile and always will be. Inappropriate comments from fertiles still sting but are somehow a little more bearable. Maybe because I'm just use to hearing the comments and grinning and bearing it.
Anyway - Julie's blog just got me thinking.

Glad to help :) So tell me... how was the process? Was it what you feared or what you hoped? I hope you sail through this process and bring home your baby quickly!
