I know there's a couple of us but I'm thinking there may be others reading but not comfortable or don't know what to post.....so here's our thread folks!!! Me & DH have been linked with a blue 2 and a pink 1....SW's linked us rather than us finding them - something we always thought we may prefer so it would be a sensible match for us all, rather than led by emotion. But my god - since seeing a DVD and meeting significant others in their life....we want these children!! MP later in Nov....very nervous something could go pear shaped... Family are all feeling emotionally involved with them too - maybe that's why I now feel so nervous; were used to the process & disappointment.....they're not really!! anyway....hope there's lots more if you our there xx

Fab post tali
Well, we are linked to 2 blues (aged 2 and 3) mp this Friday
Unlike tali we found the boys ourselves at an activity day and then had the agonizing wait of the ff sifting through interest and picking one couple (us) then we got CPRs and if we weren't already in love we are now!
DVD is on in our house non stop and we too have all our family emotionally attached, we have out clear boundaries in place about wanting time alone and bless my parents they arranged a family holiday without us, so everyone is going away on expected placement day for a fortnight!
There is already plenty of nesting going on here! My DH can't believe how spotless the house is lol! I've warned him it won't last when 2 little monsters arrive!
Still trying to think of board names for them, suggestions welcome!
Daisy :-) xx

We are linked to a little boy who will be 4.5 by the time we (hopefully) meet him. We have MP on 11 October and hopefully intros will start 22 October or 26 October all depending on what the SWs want to do with regards to him completing his first half term at school.
daisy1985 since you are a flower.......maybe Bill and Ben (even though theirs was a sunflower rather than a daisy ;-)

With each meeting/day I am getting more and more excited....and sure of them & us. Looks like they'll be home beginning of December... I feel like a grown-up at last...... Spideress & Daisy - really good to see you here - I was missing some of the 'prospectives then approved' folks from the other boards..... Thinking of you tomoz daisy xxx

Hello! I too can join this group now We are linked with a blue who will be 6.5 when he comes to us (fingers crossed and all that)... we only found out yesterday that his SW had chosen us and then spent all night ringing around family who we have been keeping in the dark... so now they too are emotionally involved! All being well he will be home with us by the end of November and life will never be the same again

YAY Annie!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm busy 'letting' go of all the bits around my home that are just there to be 'pretty' so I can make as much space as possible for them to play!! So far my 'must-get-list' is growing far beyond just kiddy things - much to Mr T's dismay !! Thank god for e-bay and 2nd hand sites, lol!!!!

We are sitting down tomorrow to plan out the next 6 weeks and all the stuff we need to do... we also have lots of carp to get rid of to make room for toys / bikes / scooters ... I am dying to go shopping but not sure I can allow myself yet - at least until I know what he has / likes We are trying to plan a weekend away for just after panel as well - this is all happening so fast - we were going to go away at Christmas but now we will be a family!

lol......I have moments of sheer panic, joy, panic and eh, more panic!!!! I'm glad I've been doing lots of things around the home over last few months, but still more to do! We're not going overboard with toys/clothes - in fact not bought much at all and what we've bought tbh has been 2nd hand.......my thing at the moment is storage!! And trying to concentrate in work?? Well, that just aint happening !!!! OMG....really cannot believe this is happening! And sometimes the tears of joy turn into hysteria !!!! xxxx

SNAP Tali - I just couldn't stop weeping yesterday but at the same time we both looked like rabbits in the headlamps! We celebrated rather too well last night (we were brushing our teeth at 1130 and then DH decided he wanted to stay up and drink cocktails just because we could!!!) so having a lazy day today and getting on with it and starting the panicking tomorrow

I posted this on the old forum before being told about this one (not liking the new AUK one)...
But we're linked to a little boy who will be 1 by the time intros start, going to matching panel in a month - YAY!!!

Thanks for being so welcoming, it's all getting quite daunting as the day gets closer. We've been doing lots of babysitting recently and that's a scary insight too, haha!

Hey bumble... It feels like an age but the time will suddenly fly by.... Try & plan to do 'me' stuff stuff that you won't be able to do once you are a Mummeee.... I wish I had... Got told to but didn't.... Because your life will never be the same ( duh obvious yeah ) there really are some things you will miss coz you can't do them with bubbas in tow.... Have a think remember & then see if you were right!!!!
happy happy waiting.... It will be You Soon......
Xx. moo. Xx
