Okay, so during every pregnancy, when we had an ultrasound to find out the gender, we would go and buy the baby an outfit to celebrate. So.........that's my excuse to buy "W" some clothes. We were in Fargo and went shopping at the mall there and I restrained from buying every cute little dress available. I did buy a blanket to send to her and an outfit to fly home in. We don't know her exact size so we can't buy too much right now. I also went to "My friends attic" sale this weekend and picked up some cute sweaters. A little girl's gotta have some cute bows and of course comfy PJ's (Thanks again Michelle).
Now that this is becoming a reality, I am finding a lot of things that I need to research and get ideas about. At the beginning we were thinking our child would probably be a baby, but knowing she is a toddler changes things a little bit. It's weird to think we have all of this love for her and we are excited to get to her, and she has no idea who we are and she definitely doesn't love us yet. We pray God prepares her heart for us and our first meeting goes well , if not at first, that she quickly gets use to us.
Yay for buying stuff! I already can't resist buying baby stuff. I hope this wait goes really quickly for you! How exciting!

Hey, just wanted to catch up with you...we are the family adopting our Naomi- the baby in the bumbo from the waiting list. I heard you are adopting the other little girl from the waiting list...hey we may even travel together. I want you to know we actually called and were considering one of either of the girls....but were told they both had people interested....later that day we were told the others interested in our Naomi decided she wasn't their girl.....so we were it!!!!! I was saddened when I saw your baby back on the waiting list later- my heart was in constant prayer for her family to find her! I am sooooo glad you did!!!!!!! I praise God for you and will continue to pray for you on your adoption journey! I love the outfits, and yep we have bought some pink too!
