7 MONTH LID ANNIVERSARY

The long road just keeps getting longer and longer. Today we have been LID for 7 months; honestly it hasn't been that bad - yet. This is a time when we should be full of happiness and excitement and all I feel right now is a sense of numbness. It seems that our sense that the time was right - was wrong, or at least I wish we had started 6 months sooner. Do I regret our decision - not in any way. Do I kind of wish we had picked a multi-country agency so we wouldn't lose a fortune if we switch - YES. Now, that's not to say we don't love our agency, they are the reason we chose China. They are as wonderful as any agency could be and much better than most; in my humble opinion. But nobody could have predicted this wait - nobody. It seems we might be a part of a record wait for China adoption. I don't want to be part of this record!!! It's taking so long, I don't like the crib we bought anymore (stuck with it - no big deal) and I am rethinking her name, that we picked so carefully together. This sucks, I can't even imagine anymore. It seems right now I am going to stay at least a little sad, some days very sad. I know in the end she will be here; but knowing that doesn't relieve the pain of today, of yesterday or last week. I think I need to make a list of positives and redirect the pain.

CATS HAVE DENTURES???

Little Miss Blue, the princess had 7 teeth removed today. This is her mood yesterday before the surgery but after she had gone to the vet and had her temperature taken, people messing with her and a dose of antibiotics. The poor girl might have an immunity disease that rejects her teeth...Can you even believe it.....
I can't wait to pick her up and see how she's doing. We can only hope that her biopsy comes back normal and this was just bad teeth - but highly unlikely; she's only 4 years old.
