The adoption will be finalized! We will go to court, get a birth certificate and a picture with the judge that will make it all legal and what not. Just in time for a 2005 tax credit, thank you very much!
almost to day 60
We are almost at the end of the waiting period. We should have a court date sometime in November or December. Yippee! Not that we really feel like it’s not already official. When baby puke happens and you think it’s cute, realize it won’t last forever, appreciate it in a bizarre sort of way, do everything to comfort the baby and don’t really even consider changing your shirt, well, the kid MUST be yours in every way that matters.
In other Monkey news, she had FOUR shots on Tuesday. It was sooo incredibly sad. She earned an extra car-ride nap for that one. We haven’t been driving around aimlessly (a fav way of hers to lull off to sleep) due to gas prices, but Tuesday, I got on the interstate and headed north for my baby. I figured it was a gallon of gas well spent.
She also LOVES our ceiling fan and light. Like it’s crack. It’s sort of replaced the washing machine in the “what everyday household object will soothe our baby lke no baby product ever could” department. Nice too because I can work on the computer while she gets her fix. Which is what she’s doing now.
Annoying and Stupid
I’m not much into the Hollywood scene. I have noticed that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are doing the crazy “rush rush” whirlwind romance, and honestly, handn’t given it much thought. Til today, whilst watching “TODAY”, they announce that the engaged couple is expecting. Yippee, again, don’t think much of it, except wow, any old-fashioned notions of getting married before getting pregnant have been thrown by the wayside. No biggie. Til they say, “Cruise, 43, has two adopted children with Nicole Kidman”.
Excuse me??? Is it just me or is that like saying, “Jane Doe, 42, has two children, one concieved the old fashioned way and one via in-vitro.”
Or,”John Smith, 32, has 1 child born of a surrogate mother whom he parents with his lover, Bob Jones”.
Or,”Mr. and Mrs. President have 3 children, all delivered Caeseran”
WTF??? Why does it matter? Your children are your children, whether you pushed ’em out, bought them in Antartica or flew to the Moon to find them.
