I have been tagged!

OK, I have been tagged, not once but twice! Thanks to Stacy and Sara.
So the tagging is that I have to list 6 weird things about me. So here goes,

#1. When I was younger, I had an obsession with the number 4. I had to try to do everything in 4's. If I tapped my foot it had to be 4 times. If for some reason I could only do something 2 times, I HAD to find a way to do it another 2 times to equal 4. Everything had to equal 4. I did outgrow it and am so far from being OCD today that I have no idea why I had this obsession.

#2. I sleep with earplugs and an eye mask on. I started the earplug thing while I was in college and trying to get into nursing school. I would study with them in. We lived in an apartment on campus at UGA (Rivermill) and lived on the main drag. There were always motorcycles roaring during the day and drunks walking home at night. So before I knew it, I was sleeping with them too. Fast forward to present day, (10 years later) I work nights and added the eye mask.

#3. One of my favorite foods to snack is Regular Doritos and gherkin pickles. You may say, "gross!" But, Just try it!

#4. I hate for my big toes to be touched. It sends chills up my spine. My husband loves to aggravate me and try to grab them sometimes. It makes me so CRAZY!

#5. I am a nurse and blood doesn't bother me. I start IV's on babies and it really doesn't bother me. However, my husband had an abscessed tooth the first year of our marriage and it burst in the middle of the night. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! We woke up and looked like we were in the middle of a horror movie. I had to clean the mattresses and it was a site. About half way through the cleaning, I just couldn't take cleaning up HIS blood anymore. It was making me crazy! I don't do loved ones blood very well. I cannot handle thinking about their blood and them losing it. Totally freaks me out and I feel like I could pass out!

#6. I like to sniff my food before I eat it. Not all food but especially new foods, sauces or finger foods. I can usually tell if I will like it or not by the sniff test.

We are logged in!!! I just got the email. Our Log In Date is April 11th!!! That is 4 days from DTC! Right after I got the email, I went into the kitchen and there was a ladybug on the floor. She didn't look too healthy and I think my dog may have attacked her, but hey a sign is a sign. Now we are officially Paper Pregnant! Woo Hoo!

Hallelujah!! WE ARE DTC APRIL 7th!

We are so happy to annouce that we are DTC on April 7th. I cannot tell you what it feels like to know we are on our way. It has been a long journey. We started this process in late October, knowing that we would have to wait for my birthday on April 8th. The Big 30!! However, we wanted to get started early and be proactive. We always had the goal to be finished & ready to go by my birthday and we just barely made it. This has been the best gift that I could ever receive and it just plain feels kinda weird. We have been working, praying and obsessing over making this goal and now it is done. We have made it, we are going to be parents. Someone pinch me. Is this for real?
I have so many things that I want to do for our daughter(s) over the next year. I have already started on a scrapbook and the closet is getting ridiculous. NO MORE SHOPPING! I think I am going to start a journal for her as to what we are doing pre-parenthood. I know life will change so much after she arrives. It will be a welcome change. We have petitioned for twins but know that it is unlikely to happen. We will be happy either way and our hearts are just set on being parents. People may think that we are helping a child, however she is helping us more than she will ever know.
Our dossier consisted of 12 documents and two photo pages. I took a bunch of pics and hope to recreate our picture page for a scrapbook page. Our dossier arrived at Great Wall China Adoption on Tuesday, April 4th and was mailed to China or DTC on the 7th of April. Now we wait for the infamous Log In Date (LID). This is the date that China logs in our information to their system. From your log in date, referrals of a baby are now currently taking about 10 months. When we started they were taking 6 months. So we still have a long wait. I remember being so down and out after Christmas and complaining that we would never get to April and NEVER be DTC. My wonderful and supportive hubby tried to tell me that it would be just right around the corner and here it is.

WE ARE DTC!!!!!
