When your dog throws up during your home study….you quickly grab a towel, scoop it up, take it to the laundry room, and act like nothing happened. Yes that happened. Luckily, our social worker is awesome and was very understanding. She said, “Someday it will be babies, not dogs, throwing up!”

When you start the day just looking for carpet for the nursery…you end up at a baby store looking at cribs. Wait…that doesn’t happen to everyone? Weird.

When you and your husband cannot make a decision on carpet or nursery colors…you realize you already want the best for your child, and I can’t imagine how we’ll ever make any serious decisions in the future.

When you walk into a baby store and you are the only one without a bump…you quickly explain that you are adopting and not buying cribs a month into your pregnancy. OR eat a bigger lunch and grab my belly a lot. I went with the former.

When you cry at every gift you receive, card you get, picking out paint colors for the nursery…you realize it does not take pregnancy to be crazy hormonal.

Getting closer every day to bringing home our babe!
