On our first go around with our Ethiopian adoption, I was very cautious about it all. (Possibly even to the point of a bit of paranoia:( I was afraid to tell too many people, afraid to buy things, afraid to think too far into the future, afraid to get too attached in case it didn't work out. Well, we all know how that ended up and my theory on "jinxing it" really worked well. So today Chris and I were shopping in Breck and found a cute little something for Baby Y, and I asked if we should buy it. He said no, he was afraid of jinxing it. I quickly reminded him how that worked so successfully for us in the past, and I was over it! Why shouldn't we be excited about Baby Y, when it is all official? Why shouldn't we enjoy these days of hope and spend our time dreaming about our future together? Why should we worry day in and day out that something must be wrong? This time around, I want to cherish these days before we get our little one. Sit back, smile and dream!

Hi Mary! I totally agree with you!!! I think it is really important to be optimistic and enjoy yourself throughout the entire process - why not right?! By the way - I have already purchased a couple of cute little onesies for the baby we don't have yet! :)
