High Hopes, Low Expectations

As I read recently from one of our adoption material...keep your hopes high and your expectations low...happy is he who finds things better than anticipated.  This phrase is so accurate for me, because I often do shoot for the best and expect the worst.  It's fitting for our situation.  A few hour after I read this, I received an email from our case worker and said they are working with some expectant moms right now, one's due next month and the rest are due this summer.  They have not shown any profiles yet.  They also had an increase in pregnancy calls over the last month.  Receiving this email, giving me an update on the agency, was so reassuring...my hopes automatically went through the roof, but while in the back on my mind I know I can't expect any of these birth moms to be carrying our baby.  But of course, I'm hoping and praying like crazy...LOL. Only God knows as He has the perfect plan for our family.
I also received an email Monday that she received our photo books.  My sister mailed them out from North Dakota and BCS received them in VA already!  That was some quick mail service.  They must have known it was a "special" delivery...LOL.  She said the book "looks great".
It's been pretty nice here, today is up to 51 so far.  I really hope that the temps and sun stays, I'm so tired of the gray skies.  Monkey boy likes when the weather is sunny too...he loves going on walks.  Although last week, he kept having spasms as we walked.  I'm not sure what made the attacks happen, but once I get down on his level and start rubbing his head and reassuring him he's going to be okay, he gets better.  I say he just wants attention...smart dog!
Hubby has been getting home early yesterday and today!  It's such a nice surprise, because usually he's really late, past 6.  I wish this could be everyday, but I'll take these random occurrences as nice surprises.


   

Have a great day!
