This weekend I caught my coworkers up on our situation and I shared the following:<\/p>\n

So, hopefully I’ll have more answers later next week.
\nOne thing that struck me as funny. I had set up our crib and stashed the car seat we’ve been loaned underneath it. I felt sort of presumptive – but I wanted to show that we had room. I knew it made sense, but I felt a bit silly having an empty crib in our house. She walked in our room. Looked at it. I was sure she was going to make a crack about ‘jumping the gun’ or something. She just looks at me and says – you have sheets, right? LOL I laughed out loud. I’d resisted the urge to buy sheets TWICE this week – not wanting to get ahead of myself!
\nAmy, who’s buying sheets today – PINK ones!!!! \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Saturday, Ruth<\/a>, J3 and I hit Wal-mart (and a few other places lol) where I bought crib sheets! Sadly – no pink ones. I’ve measured and measured this crib mattress. I bought the sheets that say RIGHT ON THE PACKAGING that it is the right size. But they lied!! So, today I have to take sheets back to Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n

And, then Sunday my sister-in-laws (Eric’s younger sister, Sue, and my brother’s wife, Christy) came to Target with me — who doesn’t want to go to Target?!?! \ud83d\ude09 and I found sheets just a bit bigger – but still listed as the correct size for my crib’s dimensions and PINK<\/font>!! – but they are still too small! \ud83d\ude41 So, I’m returning sheets to Target today too.<\/p>\n

At this point, I’d buy a WHOLE new crib if I thought<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I could fit it in our room and<\/li>\n
  2. I could find sheets for it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m afraid to buy sheets online – imagine the chaos in returning them?!?! So, I’m going to try the local Penny’s and the semilocal Toys R Us (as soon as I can figure out where one is!?!). And, I’m going to quit getting so tired that the fact that I don’t have sheets is making me cry! If anyone is local and thinks of another place for me to look – please let me know!<\/p>\n

    PS Wednesday the Oregon caseworker meets with the D.A. and by Friday the California caseworker should have her report done! I think that means by late this week or next we’ll have more information on what will happen next!!<\/p>\n

    PPS I’m doing cloth diapers this time. If anyone has suggestions for knitted soaker\/wrap patterns and yarn suggestions (affordable is a consideration) – please let me know! I want to get busy on some!<\/p>\n

    Thanks for letting me vent! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
