so... we've done this before so the "unknown" of foster care is not the same...
but definitely in the crazy calm weird last moments before THE CALL
THE CALL is similar to CONTRACTIONS
you think you know about when it will happen... you have a due date... but the time is flexible...
you are tempted to wait at home, but know that these may be your last moments before the storm hits...
nesting hits hard core... all of a sudden nothing is clean enough... those house projects that have been sitting around the past year and a half are of upmost importance
some differences... i'm sipping a glass of wine (but only one in case the call comes)
i have used MASSIVE amounts of bleach and other strong toxic chemicals for cleaning i wouldn't have used if preggers
i am not slowed down by big belly and swelling feet...
similar... i know my life is about to change forever... how much it will change for how long who knows....
different - no temptation to buy tons of clothes for babe --- because we have no idea the age (or gender) of child x as we have begun to jokingly refer to the newest kiddie as...
i double checked w/ our licensing agent.... placement knows...
this time our guidelines --- 1 child only --- ages birth to early 4s.
any moment....
