Baby's Room
Date Posted: 02-11-2006 at 08:26 PM Comments(0)
Sometimes I feel like I must be an abnormal padoptive parent... Some padoptive parents I know don't do a thing to prepare for the baby. They wait until they have a baby in their arms before buying anything. Thinking that if they do, they will somehow "jinx" the whole adoption. We've been waiting for almost 2 years and oh how I have gathered stuff. The baby could come today and he/she would be all set. The baby's room is done in Classic Pooh. I have the crib, the comforter set, curtains, books galore, and about 15 outfits that are good for a girl or a boy. Wade, my husband, was really nervous about setting everything up. He thought that if we did all that and it took a long time to get a baby, that it would be a constant reminder of what we don't have...a baby. But, I was insistant...We could get a call from the hospital, that happened to a couple in our adoption group. I did not want to have to go shopping with a newborn in tow for all that stuff at once. As for the baby's room, it's funny, I go in there and it gives me a sense of peace...I know it will happen.
