So, the whole baby thing has been in the works for years. We decided what year we'd start trying (2003) and then I wanted to put it off one more year. Then we actually tried for about six months before we found out about the infertility stuff in September 2004.
Along the way we bough a few things...since we knew we'd need them someday. Maybe it was something we found on vacation or while we were shopping for a baby gift for a friend. Just little things.
A couple weeks ago Sean looked up from reading one of the five books we're required to read for the adoption and told me that it said we should start getting ready.
I went into the linen closet and got out all the things we've collected over the last few years and went to Target to get something to hold it all. It so much more fun to see it sitting out instead of buried underneath some blankets.
So, here's the crazy part.
You know the Pottery Barn Kids Catalog? Slightly synonymous to crack for Mom's? :) I got yet another issue in the mail last week and as I flipped through the pages low and behold there it was...
THE crib set I HAVE to have...
I know that's presumptuous at this early stage, but Pottery Barn has a good return policy just in case. Yesterday Sean and I went and got a quilted pillow case sham and crib sheet so I could have the colors on hand. We decided we'll buy part of it each month for the next couple months.
Can I tell you how happy it made me to put those two items into the bin with the rest of the baby things. We have to be patient, but this is going to happen and it feels sooooo good to have so much to look forward to.
