Yesterday my mom and I started getting prepared for this little guy.
First we went to JoAnn's Fabric and picked out really cute puppy dog material for a quilt she will be making him.
Then we went to Burlington Coat Factory to get an idea on Cribs, Strollers and Play Yards. Burlington had a nice selection of items, but I didn't see exactly what I was looking for so we made the trek to The Baby Superstore AKA Babies R Us.
I found the cutest crib bedding. We are going to do a Transportation theme to go with Josh's love of cars.
I also found the crib I want. It's a little smaller than the typical crib which is nice because the baby room isn't that big, so the crib will not take up the whole room.
Josh and I are so excited for this little guy to come join our family. We have wanted a child for so long, that it seems almost like a dream. We are so grateful for the plan of adoption, without it we would not be parents. We know that this adoption could still fall through, but we both have faith that if this little guy is supposed to be our son (and join our crazy family), than things will work out. We meet with our birthmom next Monday. We really don't know what to expect in this meeting, but we know the Lord will guide us. We would like all that read this blog to please pray for us that things will continue to go well.

Just so SO happy for you!!! It is such a great feeling to be chosen and have the opportunity to experience parenthood this way! You'll do great in your meeting with your birthmom. She is probably just as nervous as you are. Just enjoy it {and keep a really great journal}!
Congratulations again! So happy for y'all!
That crib looks dead on like then one we had for Daniel (that got recalled- not saying yours was recalled, just saying we had one like that- we loved it). So excited for you guys!
Adorable material for the quilt! Definitely praying that everything will go well, and very excited for you guys.
Yaaaayyyy! I'm so excited for you, I can't imagine how excited you must be! And now your mom will have a grandkid that lives close! How fun for her! Good luck on Monday, I'm sure everything will go great!
