Oh My - I did it!

I swore I wouldn't do it. But I did.

I wasn't going to step foot in Babies R Us until after March... BUT I DID!

I had an hour to spare and was at the light at Babies R Us so I made the turn.

I went up and down every aisle of the store gawking for one hour. I couldn't believe some of the things that they sell. Ok - keep in mind I really haven't been in Babies R Us since Matt was born - 10 years ago.

I mean, there's a little spongy thing that you hold over baby boys to soak up their pee as they spring a leak during diaper changes. What is that about? I mean - I know what it's about - we called Matt our little squirt for more than one reason - he was born 6lbs 2oz and he peed every time we changed him for a long time. But then what? Do you wash it out in the sink or buy 10 or what...

They sell infant seats which cost over $280... Umbrella stroller for $150... I don't know what my infant carrier cost but I think I got one of the nicest ones and it was like 50-60 at the time. We had a $15 umbrella stroller which had as many miles as our car - it was fine. Needless to say - I was in sticker shock. Sure they sell the less expensive ones too. And I'm sure they'll do just fine.

I did find that I love the cribs of the 21st century - those life crib things are pretty cool. I can't wait to burn the pavement up looking for a bed.

I also discovered plenty of extremely cute clothes. Here's a couple pics. Girls clothes are so cute year in, year out so I haven't had an issue not buying things at this point. But occasionally I'll see something that I wish I could buy but not knowing the age is kind of an issue there.

5 Months Since Dossier

5 Down and 7-10 To Go

Wow - when I say it like that, it will be here before we know it. We're all very excited as we read other people's blogs and know that this time next year - it could be us.

In the meantime, I've been unbelievably busy with work but I managed to re-read our Thailand adoption guidebook and decided to check out the flights just for fun...again. One flight was actually 36 hours long with an 11 hour layover in London. Of course, I LOVE to travel so I was thinking, "That's kind of cool! - 3 continents in a day and a half" but we'll most likely go with the much shorter flight of 24 hours!

Next month we get an update on our timing but basically, we're praying for a combination of little girls and little boys every quarter as 4 couples in front of us have requested little girls. That could significantly impact our wait time.
