Excited and Frustrated

Well, I left a message with the SW today. She needed the measurements of our rooms and I wanted to find out if she found out about doing our interviews sooner - as that was a possibility when we setup the date for the 8th. (Granted, I doubt it, but I can still hope) It doesn't feel as long away now that there is only a week left. Tuesday of next week is the first interview... though i want to see if she can try and sqeeze in both DH and mines that day, rather than just mine. (I am hoping that is at least an option, grr)

The sw said before, that the homestudy would be done before the end of July, but if she keeps scheduling things for two weeks later, I am not sure how that is going to happen. Our first interview is on the 8th, which is just supposed to be 'my' interview, so I am very much hoping when I talk to her that she is able to squeeze in DH too... but somehow i don't have much faith in that.

Going back and forth of being excited and frustrated today. Overall, I am excited, but the other part of me is frustrated because this homestudy is taking forever - even though we are completely flexible with times and even willing for last minute appointments.

Blah, I vent a lot, dont i?

haha, well, mood picked up again - see what I mean? Rollercoaster of feelings lately!

On a very good note, DH brought up something yesterday, out of the blue... before he was adament about only wanting one child at first, no sibling sets whatsoever right now, and so on. (Which I was/am fine with, though I would be very pleased with having more, even to start. Either way is fine with me)

Anyway, DH brought up that he wouldn't mind adopting a sibling set from the get go, if the younger one was 6-7 months or younger. He also mentioned, that he - like me - if it came out that "oh, *** has a brother or sister" we couldn't see passing the sibling up whatsoever, even if it was very soon into the adoption or before/after the placement.

Talk about putting me in a great mood!

I know he was all for a second child, as long as there was some time in between to get settled, but its so nice to hear he would be fine with two at the get-go. It opens up our options a lot more too!

The reason for the second being an infant, is that we are in a small house at the moment and an infant could be in our room until 365 days old - at that point we would switch rooms with the kids, (our room can hold two children) and look for a bigger house at that point.

Which would work fine, since about in a year or so (depending on if we adopt 1 or 2 children) we would be looking to move anyway to have more space. Well, heres to hoping the sw calls back today - despite it being her 'busy' day.
