We almost have our dining room and living room redecorated. I cannot believe how great it looks! I'm going to have to take some after pictures when we get the new furniture! I'm also so excited that we are finally getting a dishwasher Tuesday! You never really realize how much you need things when you don't have them! The only thing we are missing now is a fireplace for the living room! I think that we are going to end up getting a gel fireplace.

Actually, the only thing we are really missing is a child or two. I'm happy that Garrett is open to adopting a 1-5 year old girl. We really want a hispanic girl. If she had a little brother...I think we might think on that as well. It's so upsetting that we have all of this love and no children to share it with. ( We contacted Buckner today about their CPS adoption program. I'm hoping that they'll call Garrett today so we can get some more information.

Dishwasher is in! Woo hoo! Works great!

AND I got a call from Buckner...of course, while we were putting in the dishwasher, so I didn't hear my phone ring. But hey, at least they called! Sounded like a nice woman too. I called her back but had to leave a message. Looks like we are going to be playing phone tag. I know I'm getting excited over something that's going to take some time to accomplish, but I can't help it.

Mood: Frustrated

I love Christmas. The smells, the sounds, colors... but this year, I'm a little down. Listening to the women at work talk about what they are getting their little ones for Christmas, the plays they are in, etc. I want a child to spoil so badly!

So, Buckner called us back today. The whole thing sounded great! Except, we would have to come to Dallas on Tuesdays from 8-10 for PRIDE classes for a month. I know that they have an office here in Longview, so I asked the person if they offer the pride classes here in town. She said that she didn't know they had an office in Longview.

How do working parents adopt? I mean, it seems every time I get hope, something happens. Agency adoption? You need 15k+. Take out a second mortgage? Can't, we just bought the place. Independent adoption? Can't find a pbm. CPS adoption? Can't find a way to make the PRIDE classes in Dallas.

Had my blood drawn yesterday so they could do a 21 day progesteron level check on me. Today, the doc actually called me and told me that if I was ovulating, the level would be at least a 5. Mine was a 3. She said it was very obvious that I am not ovulating. Seriously, it doesn't bother me. It's more of a relief than anything. I'm sure G is heart broken...If I could have, I would have for him. It's just odd to think I can't have children. When I get home, I'm going to talk with him and make sure he's okay. I know that, sad as it is, infertility has been the source of many divorces. I just want to make sure that he's not hiding any emotions and feelings that could come up later.

I'm sending out letters and email to everyone I know to try and see if we can't find a pbm for a private adoption. G and I have so much to offer a child.
