Thank you for your comments and emails. You all are such a blessing to me! Getting her picture and talking to her foster mom have made this more real but also made me realize how much we have to do still in order to bring her home. A few of the things racing through my mind:
- We need to update or redo our homestudy. I want to call the local office sooooo bad…but I’m practicing restraint. Ugh
- I need to make room! Which, in my mind means we need to purge somethings. Unfortunately, I’m not sure Eric’s on the same page.
- We need a car seat!!
- Do we need a bassinett or can we just go right to a crib? (Thankfully my SIL has a great crib we can use – it turns into a toddler bed eventually)
- I need to re-read my infant massage book!
- Bottles and diapers and wipes – oh my!
OK-that was overwhelming – remind me not to do that again!!
In the midst of everything else yesterday I still made it to Knit Night – and my friend Robin gave me my first baby gift! She’s the greatest!!
It’s a little blankie (12×12) for a baby. One side is satin (my favorite part of my blankie when I was little) and the other is a wonderful – well, I don’t know what it is but I can’t stop petting it! 😉
