Comments on: Over – Caffeinated, PMS-y and Introspective – what a happy package https://stephaniekarpwrites.com/2009/09/over-caffeinated-pms-y-and/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=over-caffeinated-pms-y-and Adoption changed my life. I write about this and so much more. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 16:56:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Aimee https://stephaniekarpwrites.com/2009/09/over-caffeinated-pms-y-and/#comment-1563 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:28:27 +0000 http://box2369.temp.domains/~tephaoz1/?p=258#comment-1563 Steph, I have been keeping up with your blog for several weeks now and wanting to get in touch. Out of all the blogs I read, you are someone I can relate to (The Thorn Birds? Really?? Me too!). My husband and I are about a week behind you in the process, and I've definitely been the instigator, but he has come more and more on-board as we move closer to travel, and now he is very interested in picking out a crib, stroller, etc. We don't have any kids yet, so this is very new for us and very exciting! We also have a blog at fluitt.blogspot.com. I just wanted to touch base and pass along my best wishes to you and your family! Aimee

As always you have moved me to tears. I wish I could write like you, I really do. I have so much in my head I would love to put to paper. Why am I so a afraid? Something I need to work on, I suppose?

Gary is so on board, I can feel it when I am in his company. I know I always say this but I really feel it and believe it, your son is going to be so lucky to have landed in the Karp family.

Love you,
Carolyn

I don't think you were trying to be funny but as I was reading the first part of this post to my sister we were cracking up. Men are just men and we cannot expect much from them. Your husband sounds unfortunately totally normal! But he has already come so much further than most men would. I'm really begining to believe all this paperwork etc for adoption is very much like pregnancy and truth be told men are not that involved with that either. They just can't "get it" until they see the child. I remember my mom telling a story about my dad when she was pregnant with their second. She said "quick come here, the baby's moving!" He responded, "I felt that with the last one." …..Men have been disappointing us for generations, but most times they do come through in the end. 🙂 Thanks for your posts – the last two have been especially great. Also, your vacation pics are adorable!
