The scene at the grocery store!

I was in the grocery store Monday and I met up with my friend Rhonda, she and I chatted about Aiden Jeffery AKA *AJ * for a bit. I told her that we finally got our LID and then proceeded to explain the wait from then ,bla, bla, bla, you've all been there, whether they understand what you are saying or not, so when I get to the part where I explain that while we wait for TA (Travel Approval) 6-8 weeks, we can send her a blanket that smells like home(Baby Ivory),pictures of us and a teddy bear, then I said, "Hey ! you know we could send her one of the ones that you can pre record your voice on it then she would recognize our voice when we have her placed in our arms.".......Well!!!!! the waterworks started...I could not even control it! *Seriously!* I'm fanning my face with my hand and I looked up at her and she was leaking too!!!!!!!! At that point all we could do to break the moment we had was to laugh!!! I can only imagine what people were thinking.
I have to admit I find myself very sensitive lately, these emotions are very real and I might not be able to put my hand on my belly and feel her there but I feel a flutter in my heart when I think of her. The most tangible way I can feel expectant is when I go into her room ,wrap her baby quilt around me, take a deep breath from its baby ivory scent and just feel her presence there. I can sit on the rocking chair and let my imagination go wild with dreams, thoughts, plans, hopes, and aspirations, thats when the Mama hormones kick in and I feel most alive. I'm not one to usually put my venerable self out there but tonight I just felt I had to share this story with all of you who are feeling the Mama hormones that I am. Humm, I wonder if there is any scientific proof that an adopting female parent produces more estrogen while going threw this process, there has to be!
Psalm 34-8, Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in him!
Below is the e-mail she sent me and here is my reply back to her. It's nice to know your friends really care. thanks for the moment Rhonda.

Rhonda,
He is just way toooooooooo cute! I love his little smile!
Sorry I made you cry today, just when I said we could pre record our voice and send it in a teddy bear after we get her referral, it hit me that our little girl is going to recognize our voice when we go to get her! See I may not have the weight gain but I have the *Wait gain* I get more emotional than most women I know who are physically pregnant and I have CRAVINGS darn it! So you seen it first hand! (My friends Kim and Jocelyne can vouch for me too.) Am I right or am I right? My body may not be *Physically* pregnant but my hormones are mimicking pregnancy.
I have to get over there to get my baby fill one of these days soon and to kiss those cute little cheeks. ( of AJ's, no not yours Jeff!)
Talk to ya soon,
Hug AJ for me
Deb
