I'm Still Here!

Gosh, I didn't realize how long it's been since my last post. It's been almost 3 weeks. If any of my blog partners did that, I'd be so frustrated. I love reading the other blogs. Thank you to everyone for allowing me to share in your experiences as we travel a similar journey, with the same goal at the end: our child.
Well I'm still here, haven't posted in almost 3 weeks, so sorry for that. Multiple reasons, one major one is that I've been doing a lot of traveling.
2 weeks ago I was in the Las Vegas for my company's mid-year meeting. We stayed at the Red Rock Hotel, Spa and Casino. It's about 25 minutes from the strip. I took pictures of my room because I needed photographic evidence of how awesome it was. I'll post those pictures when I get home. Hint, Hint...I'm not in New York at the moment... Getting back to Las Vegas. The meeting took up all day, but did get a little pool time on the first day there, but after about 45 minutes felt like I was charbroiling even with an SPF of 30, probably needed 100 :-)!
We did get to the strip one evening and a bunch of my work colleagues and I ate at a really nice sushi restaurant in Ceasar's Forum Shops Mall. Then we walked around till we couldn't walk anymore and taxied back to our hotel.
After I got back to New York, I'm ashamed to admit that it took me at least 3 days to get over my jet lag. That was just a 3 hour difference. Traveling to China will be at least a 12 hour difference. Sue, you gotta get with the program!!!!
Well, last week I traveled to Norfolk, Virginia. It was hot and humid. Then from there flew to Boston. Flew home on Thursday, Friday was a quickie, then on Saturday I flew to Minneapolis, Minnesota where I sit right now!
I am attending a big nursing conference, for the speciality I am a part of. I'm a CWOCN (I'll explain another time)
My full title is Susan Guschel RN, MS, NP, CWOCN.
I'm attending the conference, though, as an exhibitor. I worked the exhibit booth last night till 8P. After standing for about 3 straight hours in one place, my back was so sore and I was ready for a glass of Zinfandel :-)!
I'll be here till tomorrow, then I think I have to drive to Philadelphia on Thursday. I'll know for sure later today.
Well, just wanted to catch up. I'm not sure why I waited so long to post, I think that sometimes it's just that the journey just seeems so long and that get's me down. But then I'll visit someones blog that just received their referral, or is in China getting their child, and I feel so much better.
We are 3 months in to the wait now, that looks to be at least 12 months or more. When people ask I say I just finished my first trimester :-), their mouths gape open till I tell them it's my "paper pregnancy"!!!!
Well, time to get ready, gotta go back to the exhibit booth shortly.

Susan,

I've eaten sushi at that same restaurant in the Ceasar's shops for a nutrition conference. We travel in a parallel universe. Amy is 18 months old now, we've had her for 4 months, and she acts like she has no memory of "want" or "need". She acts like she expects to be catered to every minute of the day. This is good, and we are happy.

Love,
Janet
