Far, far better than I ever do when the roles are reversed. But I have good news: your wait is over, your patience is rewarded, the news is revealed:

    GOSH I'm so out of the loop, that's what a 2 week vacation will do to you! ;) First of all, CONGRATS big time on such an exciting decision!!! Second, I will be praying that this process is less frustrating, time consuming, heartbreaking and expensive than all those years of infertility treatments. No promises, but I think God will listen to me :)
