7 weeks

in pgn. i'm still counting even though i don't really know if our case is being processed or not. obviously i'm hoping it is, but no - i don't know for sure.

we are still plugging away at our to-do list of house projects. i made a HUGE comprehensive list for our interiour renovations. it's a little daunting. but not as bad as our old house in south carolina. but we have been surprisingly productive over the last 2 weekends. so i'm happy about that. i think michael is going to work on finishing the crib this weekend. that's the very last room decorating. although i still have to move the remainder of my clothing from stella's dressers to our new dresser in our room. once i have that done i can organize her stuff :) then it will be COMPLETELY done and ready for her to come HOME. it's such an odd thing to have a nursery and no child. tons of diapers and wipes and toys and a stroller and a car seat and still no child. it's even MORE odd that once those last little things are completed in her room it will be the only one in the entire house that is completely DONE. the adoption process is full of such emptiness. the only thing that makes it bearable is the end result.
