I'm so excited to read these referrals and see the pics of the babies. It's always a happy day. But this month, oh THIS month is even more exciting to me than before. Why? Because this month I can cross off DAYS from where they are referring to where MY LID is!
So, August 9, 2005 - August 9, 2006 = 365 days
August 9,2006 - September 9, 2006 = 31 days
September 9, 2006 - September 14, 2006 = 5 days.
Grand total = 401 days!
(let's use EASY numbers of 400 days and 20 days of LID per referral batch)...at this rate, it will be 20 months until we get a referral. Still within that 18-24 month range I've prepared myself for. :) I like that it is closer to 18 months though. I still seriously doubt I'll know anything before 2008 (for NSN).

We have LID!!!!!
Got word this week, that were Logged In on September 14, 2006!
wow...almost a full month from DTC to LID. Oh well. Now is the time to START counting down to our referral day!
Last month they made it to July 22, 2005, so 365+54= 419 days of dossiers ahead of us! If they average 15 days of dossiers a month, then we are looking at...oh...roughly 28 months until our referral. To keep to 14 months, oh my they need to do 30 dossiers a month. Yeah, I think realistically we are looking at over 14 months for our referral (non-special needs that is).
Regardless, we're excited to have that LID and we celebrated by eating Asian tonight!

Another ladybug sighting!
Okay, having watched the LID appear for the August 2006 DTC group, I know my LID is coming up soon. :) Basically DTC August 14, 2006 was LID early September. So, 4 days later for our DTC we should be fairly close.
Tonight while out taking photos of a baseball team, I noticed a ladybug on my camera bag. Admist all the rambunctious boys, no flowers to be seen anywhere, just a ball field and there on my bag was a ladybug. Okay, it was a dull orange color and did not have many spots at all...but it was a ladybug. Wonder if our LID is today? September 8, 2006? 9-8-06? Hmmmm...could be. :)
