rice cake envy?

Today I had an uneasy feeling..

It all started when my manager at work asked me how the adoption process is coming. I told her it was good, still trying to get all of our paperwork together and forms filled out for the application. Then she said that she has a really strong feeling that we'll have our baby a lot faster than we think.. "a LOT faster.."
Ok..

It may sound crazy, but I actually started panicking a little bit. What does she mean "a LOT faster"??
Don't get me wrong, we're ready for our family to be together. But we're not ready-ready..
you know, $-wise...
Let's just say, we're ready in our hearts but not in our bank account! Ha.

I worried about it for a while at work, then I had a few appointments and got over it.
Until I checked my blogs tonight and saw that someone just received their referral. Yay!!!
Except they only applied in January... as in 2 months ago!
What the? How is that even possible, when I have other people on my blog list that applied last June, August, etc. and they are still waiting for their referrals?
Hmmm.. I wonder...
Seems kinda weird that it would be so fast for them... Maybe its their agency? I don't know.

I freaked again though because that means they'll probably have their baby home by July! That's less time than a pregnancy.. 7 months! Nice.
Well, good for them. Truly, I'm very happy for their quick process and hope a speedy trip to Seoul for them!

But I really, really, really hope it doesn't move that quickly for us!
Seriously, I'm totally ok with the good ol' 18 month plan! Oh, yes.

Ah... So true, so true.
Aaaand that just about sums it up from here ;)
