- Because when we started this process last February, and had our paperwork done by May, we figured we would have our baby in January. This was NOT OUR plan.
- I am not a patient person. I don't wait, I do. Most of the time, I don't like to procrastinate. I plan, I get done. Sigh...
- It is the neverending pregnancy. I could have been pregnant twice by now.
- You just never know. Will they send out a full month of referrals, will they cut off?
- I missed her first Thanksgiving, her first Christmas, her first New Years, her first Valentines Day, her first Easter. I really want her first Birthday!
- Because I am a mother and she is MY daughter. This is not natural. I should be the one holding her and taking care of her at this stage of her life.
- Because we have no idea if she is being cared for properly. Is she getting her diaper changed? Is she crying and no one answers? Is she happy?
- I also missed her first smile. Is she sitting up, is she young, or older? Does she have alot of hair?
- My arms ache to hold her.
- I love her so much already it takes my breath away.
Top 10 Reasons Why I am ok with waiting till summer to travel...(I have to try to keep myself sane by convincing myself it is ok)
- There will be no school schedule to come home to. We can relax, sleep in, and be lazy for a few months while we adjust.
- We can pack lighter. No coats to haul around, no bulky sweaters.
- I can wear flip flops if I want.
- It gives me more time to lose those 10 pounds i want to get rid of.
- i can't stand being frozen, and climbing the great wall in snow would not have been fun.
- Capris are my favorite type of clothing.
- Summer schedules will mean more help w/ babysitting for our kids while they stay behind.
- Hopefully Mark will be out of our closet and moved into the office in the basement, which will be very helpful in setting up our room as half nursery.
- Because God had a plan, long before I did, and He has grown me in alot of ways through this LONG wait.
- because I trust that God is holding her, until I get there.
