We got word we were submitted today which means we have to wait until Tuesday to hear when our appointment is. Back to waiting. Waiting for Tuesday. Hoping Tuesday will be the day. I am sorta relieved. After this last bump in the road, I will not rest until I have an appointment at the embassy.
Before we got the news, I was actively trying to convince my husband that if our pickup date got pushed one week later, that me and Tristan would head to Guatemala on the 19th and wait it out. Gavin could get to know me and Tristan, and husband could continue working and fly down for our embassy appointment. I thought that was a great plan B to keep me sane for the rest of the process. Plan B would be huge on so many levels. Tristan without Daddy, Mommy without Daddy, Mommy alone with 2 kids in Guatemala, Daddy home alone with the cats, did I mention Mommy without Daddy. I don't think we will have to resort to this 'plan b' but it does help soothe some of my anxiety. If for some reason we do get bumped up and I do head down alone, it would only send us there a week or so ahead of the husband. I am hoping for the best and if things go as they are suppose to, we will be traveling on or around the 19th with an appointment on wednesday the 21st. And if things don't go as planned (shudder at the thought) Plan B is back on the table.
