Oh How the Tables Have Turned.

Over the past week/week and a half, Mitch and I have been diligently working on our Video Profile.  To say the least it has been difficult.  With my teaching background, I have no issues speaking to "people" (a.k.a video camera) and I understand the importance of appearing natural.  Mitch bless his heart is amazing at conversation, but this process has been a real doozie for him.  He has been telling me about his anxiety here within the past few weeks and how he hasn't been sleeping very well.  This is a man who could sleep with a train rolling through our house!!  I keep telling him how weird it is that I am so chill about all of this and he, FOR ONCE, is the tightly wound partner.  He keeps telling me that he is just so excited and so ready to have a baby that it is all that consumes his thoughts.  This makes me happy as well as a bit concerned.  What if it takes a while to make this adoption happen?  How emotionally drained will he be?  He has been an amazing support through all of this and now I tend to find myself baffled at how to help him RELAX.  Maybe I should just start playing, Frankie Goes to Hollywood-Relax, 24 hours a day in our home.  Well, it would be a good distraction ;-).  I think that things will be a bit more normal, after a few months go by.  Sometimes the hardest part is just sitting back and letting someone else take control.  Surprisingly enough, I am OK with that at this point.  Go on now, do some work...Other than that we got the crib all put together, waiting on Leah and Randy to help us finish up our video this weekend, and then we are golden.  Will post if anything new occurs, other than that, much like this part of the adoption process, things may be a bit quiet.  Until next time, Ali
