Day 475!!!! Hard to believe-every day when we put the dollar into Julia's bank I shake my head when I notice the day we are up to. 365 seemed impossible to us-now look at it!
The CCAA updated their website today-referrals up to June 15th....we were hoping they would get through the 20th...it would have made June a possibility for us. Now we are biting our nails and HOPING that we get our referral in July. Which is what we have been prepared for, but I've got to be honest-I was starting to get hopeful that it would come in June. I am going to be on the edge of a breakdown if we have to wait until August....you'd think it wouldn't matter to be so close and know that you will be next, but I'm not kidding-there is a breaking point (which I passed months ago) and then there's a "You've got to be Kidding me!!" point-that would be August!
Our friends Bridgett and Bruce should be getting their referral any day now-they are very excited and we're excited for them. We'll be living vicariously through them over the next couple of months. They missed the cut off by a day last month so it is so nice for them to have some relief....
Other than that, nothing new going on. We'll hopefully find out more about a settlement date for our new house next week. This weekend we'll be heading to Wildwood for what seems to be the last traditional Memorial weekend we'll have there. I remember thinking we would have Julia there this year and I am kind of sad that she won't be. Unfortunately, she will never get to spend even one traditional Wildwood Memorial Weekend at the shore. It was always a great tradition for me and I will miss it dearly. Oh well, new traditions and all that.
Hope you are all doing well and continue to send wishes to the heavens or wherever you send wishes that our Julia is safe and healthy and will be coming home sooner than later!
Let's hope the CCAA gets the rest of June done next time!

Almost ready to get excited! But still being cautious...
Day 460....almost 1 year and 100 days. Still cracks me up that we thought (and were told) about 9 months from paperwork to finish....that would have been 270 days...we are getting close to nearly double that.
Since my last post, the CCAA sent out referrals up to (not sure if including) June 6. Unfortunately, our friends Bridgett & Bruce are June 7 and missed this batch by a hair. We will be so excited for them this month when they should be getting their referral.
When we found out the cutoff date was 6/6 we figured previous rumors of June taking 3 months to get through would come true and we would be in July's referrals (of course, still hoping-no formula to figure it out). But, recent rumors indicate that we MAY be June. Which would be very close to our prediction of house and baby coming at the same time!!!! Nothing like creating more drama for ourselves-we just love it! Of course, we are so happy and excited that we don't care! Somehow, we'll make it work-we love a challenge!
But, at the same time, we are afraid to get excited too soon. Those of you who know me know that it's hard to tell me to slow down-I always put the cart before the horse. I am prepared for July, but the new rumor of June would be so great. And, I could possibly get the referral before my birthday-the only present I could ask for-a picture of my baby girl!!!
Until the end of this month, we continue to anxiously wait and monitor the rumors. The CCAA seems to be posting and sending referrals at the end of the month so in a few weeks, we should have some more answers. June will be a nail biter! Could be yes, could be no, but should most definitely be VERY, VERY close!!!
