Dylan allowed us to sleep nearly the full night with only one visit to our bed. He didn't ask for Tylenol, so back to bed he went and Daddy tucked him in. I almost got to sleep in until the phone rang at 7:30am. Nobody calls at 7:30am and whoever it is, better have a good reason for interrupting my first good night's sleep since Dylan's surgery....
It was our agency-- a brief surge of panic shot through me thinking something has happened to Nevin, or our application....my brained cramped trying to shake myself from sleep and the scary thoughts going through my head.
By that time, David had already answered the phone from downstairs and I missed the beginning of the conversation by the time I sneaked in on the conference call. Our application to adopt Nevin had been approved by the CCAA in China! Didn't they just wire it on Monday? WOW! Talk about expedient!
That leaves me stunned by the new time lines with the online system. We were logged in the week of May 3, received our referral for Nevin on May 18th, and approved yesterday.....so much for the notion that we could have been flying to China around Christmas-- we could very well get our date to travel in September, possibly the end of August!
All of this has sparked the "nesting instinct", the same instinct I experienced while pregnant with Dylan and Heather. I mean crazy stuff like washing baseboards, pulling out the extra pots and pans I never use and dusting the drawers, washing the toothbrush holder and dusting the toilet roll dispenser. And now I am making the garage sale pile....Oh, and started packing some of Nevin's things-- like the Tylenol, Benadryl, Gravol, diapers, nail clippers....etc. You just never know when you'll get the call....kind of like getting that hospital bag ready and waiting at the door for my water to break. So much to do!
