We're Next!

On Monday 22 June 2009 it was confirmed that the CCAA had placed families with LIDs up to and including 20th March 2006 - 1 day short of our LID date! As Lindsey put it - "this is excruciating!" Last Thursday we heard that matching was complete and referrals were soon to be mailed and that they were going to 20th March for certain and possibly 21st we couldn't believe it. Our travel group was in quite a state hanging on every Rumour Queen update. By Saturday night when we met for our 21st group dinner we were ready for a celebration after the anxiety of not knowing for certain if we were in or out. By then we had convinced ourselves that the 21st was not included so we toasted the New Brunswickers, Cheryl and Mike in our group whose LID was 15th March 2006 so they were included in the batch. We also toasted all the Fathers-to-be in the room as it was officially Father's Day by the end of the evening.

Hopeful Rumour

We figure we are very close to getting our referral at this point since the CCAA has placed families up to and including 14 March 2006 and our Log-in Date (LID) is 21 March. There was an early rumour today that all of the month of March is currently being matched! Seems unlikely given that would mean a much larger batch of referrals than has been seen in some time - that said - we only need to get to the 21st! To think that it's a possibilty that we will see our baby girl's picture within a month is unbelievable and overwhelming given the length of our wait. We are so excited to see her little face. I hate to do it but I will be glued to Rumour Queen over the next couple of weeks waiting for the next rumour. Between that and all the nesting - I won't be getting much else done this month.
