Still nothing...

An Easter egg hunt at the Bay View Library this morning provided some much needed distraction from the agonizing wait that has been dominating our lives lately. Oli found a golden egg amongst the library books and won a prize -- egg-shaped sidewalk chalk. Being Wisconsin residents, it comes as no surprise to learn from the weatherman that any work we do today, will probably be covered in snow tomorrow. Such is life in April, in Wisconsin. It was really fun to watch Oli run through the aisles looking for eggs. This is the first year that he will truly be able to experience the full excitement of the Easter bunny, and we plan on having a blast with him (hopefully in Chicago!!!)





We spoke with Kathy (our Social Worker) this morning and things are going really well, but there really isn't anything to report. Birthmom is good, she has a doctor appointment next week and we'll hopefully have an update on that later in the week (though we'd prefer a baby to an update). I suppose no news is good news, but we are very anxious to receive "the call" sometime soon. It is difficult to express in words just how hard this wait is and how much it occupies the mind. You walk out of work on a Friday and hope you won't return until the sun is high in the summer sky. You go out to eat and think "this could be our last meal out with just one kid." You have friends over and say "next time you see us, hopefully there will be one more." It's all very difficult, and feels utterly out of our control. We're as prepared as we can be, we just have to hope and believe that everything turns out for the best.
