Guess when!

Okay, so this wait is really starting to drag on and on and on. It is becoming excruciatingly frustrating and tiring so I have decided that we are going to do something fun to help pass the time! I had seen these little guessing games on people's blogs before and never thought I would do one but now I think it is a perfect way to make this wait slightly more bearable!!!



SO..... whoever can guess the date we get our referral will receive a gift from me in the mail! I'm not sure what that gift will be yet but trust me it will be worth it : ) Okay, so leave your predictions below (even if you don't normally comment, come on... I know you are out there!)

are we allowed to adjust our dates?

Cause I say November 27th! May be the birth date of my first born but it has lots of symbolism, the number "27", my firstborn child with your namesake, and it is the american thanksgiving, which is when 330 million people give thanks to their families and their loved ones, seems fitting, and if I can request a gift in the mail, I would pick ... hmm... lunch with you!

Hmmm... November 3rd. I have a fantastic feeling about November 3rd.

I would have said Nov 5th, because then you would have the exact same wait that we did, but really... less is more, right?

Ok.. that may have made no sense. Nov 3rd. That's all I'm saying.

Oh, that, and I'm rooting for you BIG time!!! Come on baby boy!!!

How about 21st.

Just thought I'd say hi. Noticed that you are from B.C. I was in school with a Krabbendam. She was a few years younger than me though. I graded from ACS in 1996.

Hopefully you hear something soon.

November 7th. It's a Friday and you will be rewarded for all of those excruciating weekends!! It's also my 7 year anniverary date for being in this country so I need something to be excited for on that day! And I'm requesting a gift like Erin's... lunch with you! Can you lay over on your way to Ethiopia?? :) So much love to you guys!

I'm going with November 21st. It's a Friday and it's the last day of Fall, and I'm convinced that you WILL get your referral during the best season of the year! (sorry I can't be more optomisitc in my guess!)

I will guess October 27, mainly because we have the same request and are a few weeks behind you in the wait, so I want it to happen sooner rather than later!

Ok, if you'll let me choose two dates, my second guess is tomorrow. It would be very nice for me if you could hear about your sweet little boy tomorrow.

I was going to say Nov. 27 for Thanksgiving!! but it's already taken, and so are lots of days in November, so I'm just going to go waaaay out there and say December 10. Of course it'll probably be sooner, and I hope so for your sake!! But how fun would it be to have a new baby in December for Christmas!!!

October 24. Oh risky hey? I guess I'll know quickly if I won or not! LOL

Seriously Em, I want that baby boy to be home in your arms safe and sound. I can't wait to meet him next year when you, Dianne, and I have girls/kids weekend!

Ok, with the announcement today of a referral from another couple, I definitely think yours is coming really soon! Does BC require it to come through the province? If so, maybe its in the pipes right now! I am going to be stalking your blog :) I really have my fingers crossed now that my Oct 27 is right! Good luck, I hope you have a picture to stare at really soon.
