Adoption

Turning Point

For the longest time, DH and I have been of the mindset that things will happen when they happen, and there is no sense in getting worked up about it yet. We haven't bought any baby stuff, or emptied out the spare room. We are waiting until our homestudy is complete and our profile becomes active, just in case. We don't want to start getting our hopes up. But, last night, I bought some baby toys. I found them online for really cheap, and I thought, why not? I was thinking about it later, and I realized that this was the first time that I had made a purchase for our future child. I realized that I have started to think if this as "when" instead of "if". Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, I don't really know, but I am considering it an improvement.

Re: Turning Point

  • Yay! It's a great feeling to hit that point. I still remember the first onesie I bought for DD
  • Yay!  That is exciting!  DH and I have been picking up things here and there.  For V-Day, we decided to get baby items instead of gifts.  I've always dreaded going through the baby section of stores or even stepping foot in a Babies R Us for shower gifts but I feel so much better about it now.  I get excited to go!
