anxiety

One more week until the birth mother interview! I am so anxious, I feel like time is standing still. I have been trying to stay busy but there is only so much you can do when you are not working.I really hope everything will go okay and we will hear good news by Tuesday. The rainy season should be coming to an end so there shouldn't be any issues with travel, the embassy verified they have an appointment so there should be no issues there, now just getting the orphanage to get the mother there....will there be an issue...nope, hope not anyway!
I am a little nervous about the fact that there have been so many riots in Africa so close to Ethiopia. We have a different circumstance than many adoptive families since Josh is technically property of the US Army he has to have permission to travel to different countries. I really hope things settle down because if it gets any worse I am afraid he will not be allowed to go....That would not be the end of the road though because they do offer an escort service to fly back to the US with our child but it would be really disappointing if neither of us could go. And of course I will not be going alone right now.
Praying that all the craziness will settle down and that we will get good news next week.

The baby is doing good, she is moving around like crazy! Those little nudges have turned into big kicks, she is finally letting Josh feel her kick. Such a show off already :) I am 23 weeks pregnant! Only 17 weeks to go WOW that went by fast!!! I am feeling pretty huge right about now, just going to get bigger. I feel great though other than the fact that have a really hard time getting comfortable to sleep so I am very tired most of the time. I am going to go preregister for labor and delivery sometime in the next couple of weeks and sign up for our classes. I love classes!!! Thank goodness for classes, otherwise I would have no idea what I am doing. Just kind of hits me every now and then that we are going to be bringing this tiny little person home with us, just us, scary! I always thought it was the labor I was afraid of but I realized it is what come afterwards since I have no idea what I am doing! Times two since we wont have Liam home for long before the baby gets here. I don't think I have spent more than 2 hours with a newborn baby ever and only about 30 minutes alone with one and that was in the hospital so it doesn't really count......so yeah I am pretty nervous.
