First, shout out to Dayno! Today is his birthday. He's off to play golf with Dad, Mike, Cousin Keith and friends. Have fun birthday boy!!
So being an expectant adoptive mother has certain nuances that have surprised me. For instance, I went to Babies R Us a few weekends ago to shop for 2 separate baby showers. I thought, "well since I'm here...." I checked out the strollers and I debated about whether or not I should buy the jog stroller since of course I'd be recovering from child birth and I probably will have to have a c-section from a past surgery and I don't know how soon I'll be able to jog again and then, oh yeah--the baby's not coming out of my body. hmmmm, a little trippy.
The other head trip happened when I asked my OB/GYN if she knew much about baby formula. She's well aware of my gluten and dairy intolerance, so I thought she'd be the perfect reference for gluten & dairy free formula for my child. Once again, it didn't hit me until later that there's a great possibility that our child will be perfectly healthy and WITHOUT my health limitations. I've been having fun laughing at myself. Thanks for laughing with me!!
18 more days until our 1st parenting class (but who's counting).

Too funny! I found myself trying to figure out how tall Sidamo would be, based on my and Greg's heights. Umm, something tells me there are always going to be just a few physical differences between us!
