waiting waiting waiting

well dossier is off... i did take a few deep breaths before we mailed it. i did close my eyes and have a little trouble letting go of it when i handed it to daniel to mail it. please please please arrive safely and quickly! and now we wait and wait and wait until we hear that we have been officially submitted. though i know this is a much smaller wait than the next waiting period, it still feels big. we are hoping that all of our checks and double checks mean there are no last minute surprises in the way of changes or additional paperwork. i must have went over the checklist at least ten times and color coded each time with a different marker. we're ready for our son, and we will be so excited to hear those words "you have been submitted"! deep breaths and a wish for patience.
