As many of you know, I'm in a book club that meets once a month. It's a great group of women and since we only see each other in monthly intervals, there is always a lot to catch up on. Last night, I went out in attempts to shake off my mood. As I looked around the room, I had a dose of perspective as we all caught up on our stories. Turns out, I'm not the only one waiting.
* Lori - Has had tarps and buckets in her living room for months, waiting for roof construction to be finalized in her brand new condo. Just after she closed, over a year ago, there was a sudden storm that exposed serious roof damage and flooded her new apartment. She had to endure the entire winter in a demo site, repairing floors, interior walls and other damages costing thousands. To make matters worse, she can't fix the ceilings until the roof repairs are complete, so the tarps and buckets remain.
Good News Update: The roof repairs have finally been finalized, and she'll be ready to start her internal renovations before it's her turn to host book club!
* Brittany - Had to sit in the waiting room at Children's Hospital for over 3 hours, waiting for her 18 month old to come out of a major surgery to correct structural damage to her hands and feet.
Good News Update: The surgery was a success and within two days, little Reagan was back to her resilient self, despite the casts on both of her hands and one of her feet.
* Katy - Has been trying to sell her family's home for almost two years. With a 5 and 2 year old. Can you imagine having to keep things clean, organized and 'show'-ready for that long with two young children?
Good News Update: At the open house last weekend, they received not one but TWO offers and have accepted one of them. Fingers crossed for a successful closing.
* Susie - Has finally met a man she wants to marry after 34 years of the wrong guys.
Good News Update: They are moving in together next month!!
* Me? Feels kind of silly for being so upset about waiting for something as special and important as our first child. Thanks for all of your words of support and wisdom yesterday. I certainly needed it. I head to the docs today for my weekly check-up. Hopefully, we both continue to be healthy and on track... regardless of when the little guy decides to be born.
Good News Update: TBD!
7 Days to go until D-Day. Fingers crossed he doesn't show up late to the party.
