Moving Forward

Well...we were approved! It's been a little bit of a roller coaster ever since, and things are starting to move quickly.

Friday afternoon we received a call that we were approved to begin our PS-MAPP classes...but that the next open class starting in our area would be in January! What a bummer! But wait...they were going to check into some things and give me a call back before the end of the day on Friday.

Friday...no call. Guess we'll have to wait until January. But that's ok, because it gives us more time to get the house ready, and pick up everything we need, and get organized. In fact, Friday evening, Mom and I did some shopping at Babies R Us. That's right. Real baby shopping. We picked up a baby monitor that was a crazy good deal, and took a gander at all things baby-related.

Over the weekend, Dan shared the news with his family and we're feeling very supported and even more exited to start this process. It's definitely a different way of building a family, and there will be lots of storms to weather, questions to ask, and confusion...but we're feeling pretty confident that in the end, it will all come together.

Monday rolls around, and I get a call from Iowa KidsNet...to tell me they have room in their Iowa City class, starting this week! So starting Thursday, we'll begin 10 weeks of classes, as well as finally getting everything organized upstairs, picking up some necessary supplies, and decorating the kiddo's room!

On the subject of decorating- we got a crib! Another great deal, this time at Target, and it's a great compromise between Dan and my decorating styles. It's a cherry crib by Sorelle, and we've started to finally get a vision of how this room should look.

Things are coming together, and we couldn't be more excited!
