Well, I think I mentioned this in the last post, maybe not. During the course of this long wait to bring our baby home, I've tried multiple times to document daily happenings. Boring, as you can see right now. I've found I'm better at brief daily diary entries (which I do on a calendar) because my otherwise lengthy, detailed journal entries are far too cumbersome and not very interesting. So I decided to at least give a monthly recap/reflection on what we were doing last year, 2012. Why? Well, because this is when we believe our child was born. Time will tell. In the mean time, I am continuing my calendar entries in case she is born some time this year so we will at least have an idea what was going on in our lives when our little one enters the world.
So, last March I had foot surgery (elective) and was off work for five weeks, had a walker, ortho boot and physical therapy. What was good about it? Time off work and lots of sunshine. We had an unusually warm spring and many 80 degree days. We are just now in late April experiencing these temps this year. I spent a lot of my time outside on the deck reading adoption related books and the "Hunger Games". Also about that time our precious Meeka dog had her second seizure (the Saturday before I went back to work). Sadly, we knew then things were getting worse for her. On a brighter note, some friends of ours brought home their son from Ethiopia. What a joy!
