The Waiting Game

Well, hopefully we will hear something this week on an established court date. I have learned that 2 families that went to meet their referral the week before us have their court dates now set for May 30th and June 1st. With any luck, we can be the following Tuesday or Thursday. Even though I'm anxious, I did the math - not very long and lots to do! We have a room ready for a big boy (Anton); not for a 1 year old. So, we have to scramble to get lined up with clothes, shoes, diapers, high chair, stroller, car seat, safety gates, etc. An excited Grandma had a pack & play on my doorstep only days after returning from Moscow. (thank you mom!) So, that's done. We have the crib, are waiting on the dresser/changing table, and I have ordered the bedding. Next week, hopefully we will be painting the room and getting curtains. I am so excited because 3 families from the summer program (who have happy endings unlike Mike and I) are scheduled to be in Moscow around the time I am projected to be. But, right now Mike and I have mixed reviews on what to do we should have our date and/or be waiting out our 10 days. I do not want to leave the baby again. Mike does not want to leave me and the baby by ourself in Moscow. We'll see? Anyway, passing time. Hopefully, good news to follow.....
