still waiting...

it's been a while, but not much is happening with the adoption at this point. we are just in the long wait with little in the way of updates...current estimates still put us at a 12 month wait (referral in April 2007), but no one really knows...
in the meantime i am making a 100 good wishes quilt. this is an old chinese tradition to welcome a new member to a family. basically we collect fabric squares along with good wishes from 100 people, and sew them into a quilt. then the wishes go in a scrapbook so you can look to see who sent each piece of fabric later. so time to relearn how to use the sewing machine that has been collecting dust :)
i'm also continuing to work on the nursery and on her baby book...
otherwise we are playing ultimate, running road races, and i am training for triathlons. i'm racing an international distance tri on 6/18 (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run). also planning a fall marathon (either NYC or baltimore). i think it's good to keep busy and to counter all that nervous eating :)
i'll update periodically with nursery and quilt photos as i get there....
wait wait wait...
