numero 3.

November 28th marks 7 months of waiting for our referral for our baby girl, who will most likely be named Olive. (note Olive, the Other Reindeer book on mantel... thanks Snow family for the sweet gift!)
But the true news here is that we have somehow managed to creep up to #3 on the unofficial waitlist! Wait, what? Can we seriously handle 2 children? :)

It seems we may be in the home stretch of the "wait for referral" stage!

at first i read this wrong & thought you said you snuck #3 onto the list....like you were adopting 2 kids instead of just 1 right now! heart attack!!! :)

you'll do just fine....just remember they won't outnumber you quite yet. :)

Eryn said...

I just was perusing the "unofficial" list and noticed the same thing!

It seems to be fairly accurate, doesn't it? You're getting close!

I was thinking you guys had to be getting close to a referral. I saw that book at Barnes and Noble the other day and it made me think your little Olive should be coming in pics soon. Hang in there!

This is great news!

Jillian and Crew said...

That is wonderful news!

Going from 1 to 2 wasn't bad, but the jump of 2 to 4 was a little rough, I am hoping the transition of 4 to 5 in Jan goes smoothly...

Erica said...

So fun! 1 to 2 was rough for us. Don't meant to scare ya but better to prepare for it then to not. Oh and ours were 14 months apart so yours will def be easier! We have the same stockings. ;)

Courtney said...

Yay!!!!!!!! Exciting news Ames!!

Jamey... said...

Going from 1 to 2 was challenging, but mostly manageable. I guess since we're now going from 2 to 3 it couldn't have been too bad! lol. Now we're scared all over again. I love taking pictures of our stockings every year that we add a new one. :)

Eryn said...

Ok, now I think on the "unofficial" list you may have moved up today! I think the no blog DK family got a referral yesterday, moving you to two!

I always have said I didnt' care much about that list, but suddenly, I find myself looking everyday. It's getting exciting now!:)

Rebecca said...

Number 3! That's exciting!

Belleme said...

Yep! Looks like Number 2 now!!! I seriously wonder how acurate the "unofficial list" is.... Anyone know?
