Here is what my husband wrote when I told him in an email our new number:
"It almost doesn’t even seem real. Did Brian and Autumn get a referral? I don’t think I am prepared for when we actually will get our referral because up until this point it has all just been paperwork and kind of theoretical! Once the courts open back up we could be getting a referral asap. Yeah!!!!!!!!"
Those of you who check our blog regularly will notice a new charm on my necklace. This is a fun little coin that has an M stamped in it. This is the first initial of the name we have for our little guy. I have one with an A on it for our daughter too once we are done with the wait list charms. I'm guessing not much will happen this month, but hopefully in October there will be more movement. We hope our blog friends Brian and Autumn can be filled with peace until they get their referral as the sit in the agonizing spot of #1.
On another note, our friends who have the little guy I asked for prayer for are home. He is doing much better! He still has some sickness, but has gained 4 lbs in like 3 weeks I think. I got to meet him and hold him for the first time yesterday. He is SO sweet and the most smily and cuddly thing. Our daughter just adored him and even got to hold him. She was so sweet and would rock him and kiss him very gently on the head. I know that when our little one comes home our daughter will have a lot of adjusting, but it is good to see how sweet and interested she is with babies...maybe that will make it a little easier (for a little while at least).
We had our second ET picnic this past Sat. it was fun to see some of the familiar faces and to meet a few new families. We now have 19 families in our group and it keeps growing...praise God. That's about all the new news here. I'll be traveling next week for one of my best friend's weddings so that will keep my mind occupied while we wait out this slow referral month. I'm looking forward to seeing good things in October and maybe even a referral on my brother's birthday the 23 or our "dating anniversary" the 31st (9 years together!). We'll see...

I am glad to hear that little boy is doing so well! Thanks for the update... I've been wondering the last couple of days. I have no doubt you'll have that referral before you know it! Keep hanging on & I can't wait to see you in a few days!
Thanks for updating us on the little boy. I felt much like your husband when I heard our number. T"his is really going to happen, so I better get in gear." Up until this point, it has seemed like a beutiful dream that was never going to happen.

I am so glad to see your movement. I am really hoping things pick up again soon but am so thankful there has been some movement for everyone. How is your nursery coming? When we hit #5 that it when I really started to feel like this entire process was really happening. I can completely relate to the dream-like feel of numbers before the lower single digits. Congrats on #7!!!! I hope you become #6 soon :)

You guys are moving right along...congrats...We're #23 on the wait list...So exciting, Kristi
Whitney, Clark took a bunch of pictures at the picnic. Is it ok to load them onto our Yahoo site so that people can copy and print them if they want?
And, congratulations on the movement. Your day is coming!!!! Crystal
Congrats on the new number! I love the charm idea. Is it a keepsake for your little one? How old is your daughter? Are you and your husband traveling? Aaron and I are both traveling and I am starting to get really sad about leaving Wesley our 3 year old behind! It doesn't help that the person we had lined up to watch him has a new job and will now not be available. We are having to figure out who else can watch him....
How does it feel to be unofficially #6??!!!!??????
YOU ARE SO CLOSE!!! SERIOUSLY IT WILL BE SOON!! THINKING OF YOU!
Autumn
