Why does a woman that is 9 months pregnant have more energy than me... That will have to change!
We picked Marla up for the dr appt at 8AM. The dr said she hasn't dilated anymore. I think it is too cold for Ella, actually. Today it was 8 degrees, yesterday it was 1!! We decided, if Ella doesn't start things herself, we would induce on Friday, the 26th. This will allow Marla have Christmas with her kids. Made sense.
After the appt, we went to lunch, went to the volunteer center and help prepare for the Christmas party tomorrow. Gord was done at that point, so he took us to the grocery store. We bought ingredients for cookies. Gord dropped us off at her house and he went to the hotel to nap : ) He picked me up about 7 PM and I'm TIRED. I almost wanted to type this up in the morning, but I did get a frantic call for an update, so I thought I should do a quick one!
We spoke with the OH attorney today. She advised that we may be here weeks longer than expected. BUMMER. Their instate office that needs to approve the adoption has been impacted by the cutbacks. So, we are trying to prepare ourselves for a longer stay.
We will attend the Christmas party at the center tomorrow. Most of the people there will be from women's shelters.

That stinks that she hasn't dilated any more. I hope it happens soon. The 26th sounds good so she can celebrate Christmas with her family. That is awful that the ICPC is taking so long right now. I don't know what can possibly take that much time. SC turned ours around in 1 day once our lawyer got it to them. Hoping you get a Christmas miracle and it happens faster than expected. It does sound like you are having such a good time with M. It will be so nice to be able to share with Ella all about it.
Thanks for the update! I check every day to see what is happening. If I don't see an update by the end of the day, I will think Marla has gone into labor! It sounds like you are keeping busy and having fun :) Just a few more days to wait!
