Soooo I have decided that I am going through the "nesting" portion of this adoption. I just have the feeling of urgency to get everything ready for my little boy. Weird, I have absolutely no idea how close the end is, but I just feel that I need to get some things that are necessary for the trip out there.
With that being said, I bought my very first car seat....for MY child. What? This is something, that at one time in my life, I had accepted I would never do. I wanted to shout it out to the world, tell everyone how excited I am. Instead I will calmly blog about it. (while I do, I keep staring at it)
What a feeling!!!! What a roller coaster of emotions running through me at this time. Excitement is the one that hits me the strongest, but I am not sure how long it will last. I have no idea how soon I will get word, it's hard to know how long to hold onto this feeling.
I still want to find a jogging stroller as well as an inexpensive stroller for the travel portion of our new adventure. The jogging stroller I need to spend some time researching to see which one will work best for me and my little guy. The one for travel will be one I look around at stores I am in and will grab when one "speaks to me" (and my pocket book).
I have had a lot of questions about when I am having a baby shower. It's hard to plan a date when I don't know anything about the little boy (Height, Weight, clothing size, etc.). All of that information I just won't have until I get my official referral, and even then, I don't know if it will include it. As soon as I know anything on sizes, I will let the appropriate people know so baby showers can be planned. I appreciate, so much, the love I am feeling with this adoption and how many people want to participate in celebrating this little boy coming into my world.
Can this really be happening? Am I really this close to getting my little nugget? I am almost afraid to hope.
We are so excited for you. We can't wait to see you and meet your little guy. You are going to be the best mom ever.
