Boot

Well my morning started off with a bang. Theres how my day went. As some of you know I had some feet problems at basic and it got better when I came home and now it's been flaring up again. I had an apt this morning and well you see what they did. At least it's not a cast or anything. 3 1/2 weeks of this. It's not broken but he is hoping it's a soft tissue issue because if this doesn't work then it's an MRI and maybe a torn tendon. This will be tons of fun while trying to clean house. I can't put any weight on it unless I'm in the boot. AND they called and moved up our home study. I'm happy it's a day earlier and I'm already off that day but there goes a cleaning day. Onward and upward RIGHT?!

Home Study

Cleared our background! YAY Home study is next Friday! SCARY!!! My house is so dirty and gross. We were out of town this weekend so It's got two weeks of yuck and I'm not the cleanest to start. This week is gonna stink and I'm so tired from being gone all weekend and not resting. This is hard. I wanna be excited but I'm tired!! I can do this because the goal is a baby right!! I just need to keep pushing. It's crazy you try not to think about it and then woosh right back in it!

Adoption Breastfeeding

Thoughts? Advice? I'm very interested and have read a lot but nothing else. What do ya'll think??

Welcome!

I haven't been around in a few months but it's good to be back. Hubby and I moved a few months ago and have decided to look into adoption. We started the paperwork last week. We are waiting to hear about our background checks so we can start the classes and finger prints/home study. I think I've finished the room. I might get a chair but other than that it's done. DH looked at it today and said I really want babies/kids in this room but i'm so scarred they won't give us one. It breaks my heart to hear him talk like that because one I have a slight fear myself but I'm doing a good job of being hopeful and I want to keep that faith.

Socks

I offered somebody my socks (unused) and she said I should do a give away. So If somebody wants a pair let me know or if we want to start a train that'd be fun too. Let me know!

Our adoption meeting went well. They didn't tell me must we didn't already knew. We turned in our background and application. It takes about three weeks to get the background back and then we'll have our home study and get our finger prints. The classes take about 5 weeks. We could be approved in 3 or 4 months. Adopting an infant is really hard thru the state so I feel the wait it going to take awhile. We are open to two children though so maybe well get lucky and get an infant and a 1 or 2 year old. The point is we've started the process and thats what matters. I just want to be approved and get a baby! I've been working hard on the baby/kid room. It's almost done, just need the bedding for the full size bed but here are the pics so far.

Adoption Meeting

TOMORROW. Scared, nervous, excited, ready. Tons of emotions. Here we go!!
