Adoption journey

[Lolly1985]

To be honest Aimze I do feel relaxed now as she feels ours in every sense of the word. I know she's settled, happy and developing well. But I suppose I should be more aware she's not actually ours yet. I suppose I forget. It will be lovely when she has our name but equally I don't think of her surname at all now, she's just little pink. So not explaining myself well....!

 

[aimze]

Lolly you explained it perfectly x

 

[Lolly1985]

Thank you! I suppose to me it's the icing on the cake, but in my mind nothing really changes xxx

my husband raised our puppies to play rough, he pulls there tail and ears and plays rough, not 'hurt them' rough but just so they aren't little wimpy dogs, so when the baby pulls on their ear they just go with it. They love baby and when he makes a noise, they run to get me! "uh, mom, that ugly hairless dog is making noises again--make it STOP!"

Haha Lola that's great...our pup is definately not timid so it's not him I'm so bothered about...he can be very full on at times but you can see day by day as he's getting older hes taking himself off for alone time an being more independent an nt wanting cuddles anymore (boo)

Well ladies its NyE!! To those who have had an amazing 2013 I hope 2014 brings you more love, laughter an happy times! To those who are missing their puzzle peace may we all find them quickly and have an amazing 2014!

You've all been amazing support and I feel so fortunate to be part of this group, it's like we have a coffee everyday!

Lots of love,

Amz x

I think I am going to make an effort in 2014 to post here more often. I read several times a day but just never seem to find the time to post.

Glad to hear everyone had a good Christmas and I hope the New Years are just as good. I like to think that 2013 has been all about preparing - getting approved, buying things etc and 2014 is going to be about building my family and I can't wait.

Spent Christmas with my family and it just makes me realise how badly I want this and I simply can't wait for my time out come!!!

 

[aimze]

Rainy really hope it happens soon!! This Christmas we felt like we where just missing something...it should have been our babies first Christmas of I didn't miscarry an I keep thinking of our potential baby who couldn't spend it with us...so next years will hopefully be better!!

Xx

Next year is your year ladies, just you wait, I have good feelings!! Loads of love to everyone and a happy new year!! Thanks so much for all your support, it means so much. My whole world is unrecognisable to what it was last year, it's not all been easy by any means but I am happier than I could imagine. So keep fighting for your dreams girls, they do and will come true xxx

Happy new year ladies - just wanted to say I am still following this thread and cheering you all on.

 

[Loski83]

Happy new year everyone, good luck to everyone still waiting I hope 2014 will bring you your missing pieces.
I started the cabbage soup diet today and it's awful so if anyone has any tips they'd be useful. I have a dog as well she is nearly 9 years old now. She was a bit cautious at first but now you can't separate lo and dog and the dog is so tolerant. Just as well as lo got a remote control car for Christmas and chases the dog around with it.

 

[Lolly1985]

Happy new year Loski!! Happy new year everyone!! And a big congratulations and thank you to Nicki, may this be your year lovely xxx

Well reality is back, routine is reestablished, everyone's back to work, Christmas tree is coming down, illness has set it for daddy and little pink and mummy is knackered!! Happy 2014!!! xxx

 

[Lolly1985]

Loski I love that your ticker has reset itself and is on the long countdown to next Christmas Excited already?!!

 

[Rainy123]

Happy new year everyone.

Can't believe that it's almost back to normality which brings fingers crossed for me being chosen next week. I remember when SW told me about it and 'after christmas' seemed a lifetime away.

 

[aimze]

Happy new year lovely ladies!!

Rainy I hope next week brings you amazing news!!! X

 

[Monkey78]

Happy 2014 to all you wonderful inspiring ladies. I have been in the Lake District for the last week, a thoroughly relaxing holiday with lots of fresh air and long walks, pure bliss. Today is the first day I have had a chance to read all your posts. Good luck to everyone for what this new year will bring for us all.

Aimze, so excited about all your new purchases. I am online today looking for all the bargains. Can anyone recommend a good monitor?

Congratulations to all you very lucky mommy's with their new little bundles, who celebrated their first Christmas together, what a beautiful way to end your year of adoption waiting, and here's to a very special 2014 for us all.

Lots of love

[Lolly1985]

Good luck Rainy!! We're all rooting for you this coming week xxx

Monkey I hope you had a lovely break I would say do not get a Motorola one, we've had nothing but trouble with ours. Although we actually don't bother using it now as she makes it known if she needs mummy and daddy!

We have been having a tough few days. Is it teeth? Her cold? The fallout from Christmas? She is incredibly clingy to the point where today I stood up and she cried her eyes out clinging to my legs crying mum mum mum. The bond and attachment is wonderful but I don't want it to get to the point it's mummy or meltdown. I also don't want daddy to feel rejected. Watch this space...

Love to you all xxx
