Nothing yet...

Some of you have asked me whats going on in the process since I haven't blogged lately. We are still waiting on a call to schedule our home study. The one thing about these adoptions is that they take a VERY long time. But we don't care, we know all the waiting will be worth it when we get our child.

I'm not worried about the waiting yet, because there is still so much to do before the home study. The major things we still have to do are:

• Get Georgia driver's licenses
• Get fingerprints
• Take a drug test
• Have our car insurance changed from FL to GA
• And of course, get ready for the home study!

 There's a bunch of other stuff to do, but those are the most important things. While we are waiting for the call, I'll probably post some things on infertility since I know so many people have not been exposed to the world of infertility.

In other news, I am going to a baby shower this weekend (We will have a new niece near the end of April! Yeah!!) and it will probably be the first baby shower I've been to in over 5 years that I don't come home feeling depressed and wonder when (or if) we will ever have a child.

Until next time...

Getting Ready! Well...slowly

This week has been a slow week in the adoption process, meaning nothing has happened. We are hoping that our background check has come back by now, and the resource coordinator determines that we're not criminals, lol. Since I had a VERY busy week at work (dressing up as The Cat in the Hat 3 times in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday), it was nice to have a slow adoption week.

We went to Wal-Mart last night and bought our first child related item!! We bought those safety plugs, the ones that keep children from putting their fingers into the electrical outlets. I probably sound silly, but it was very cool to be in the infants section of Wal-Mart buying something for us! We've only been in that section before to buy stuff for baby showers.

Also, I moved our household cleaners from an open space in the laundry room to the cabinet at the bottom of our sink. Now, we just have to get some of those cabinet locks before the home study.

We're hoping that the resource coordinator will call us sometime this week or next week to schedule the home study. And you know I'll be blogging about it once I get that call!
