Thanks to all of you who have given us support and encouragement! I was a little overwhelmed when I saw all of the responses on facebook! I began to cry last night because I feel like we just told everyone we were pregnant. I wasn't sure I would be able to feel like that but I do.
Yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble to buy a baby book for adoptive families. It is similar to other baby books, but this one has a few extra things about adoption included. :) Chad and I have been busily looking at cribs, bedding sets, car seats, and strollers. We have to be prepared for a phone call any day after we are posted which should be in 2-3 weeks. Some couples have been placed as soon as 3 days after they were posted. Others waited 6-9 months. It just varies. I can't believe how many options for baby gear there are... a little overwhelmed by it all! So if you have any suggestions for cribs, car seats, strollers, etc please send them my way! :) I definitely am favoring the Chicco brand so far. We will probably begin with buying the car seat and stroller, possibly the crib and bassinet. The rest will be registered for and hopefully given to us at showers which would be after the baby would arrive.
Sooo exciting and I am definately anxious.... I hope this wait doesn't take a long time, but if it does it means our baby just haven't arrived yet! :)
