Nesting...

Nesting.  I guess that's what they call the stage I'm in.  I'm collecting things that will be nice and good for our little Gonzo, things that can be used now, things that can be used later... just things.  I've worked on the room a little bit, trying to turn it into a baby/toddler's room instead of a storage room.   Yesterday I bought a crib sheet at the Salvation Army Thrift store, even though we don't have a crib matress yet. I did put the crib together and covered the springs with the "Noah's ark" comforter that we bought at Stratford's city wide garage sale a couple of years ago.  Someday we'll get a call that we can go get our little one, then we'll HAVE to buy that matress!!  

I see so many things that I'd love to buy for our little one, then I have to remind myself that there will be birthdays, Christmas, "I love you days", and necessity shopping that will come later.  There are so many toys and cute clothes out there just waiting for someone to buy them.  We still need to save a bit more money for adoption related expenses... another reason I can't buy too many things for Little G.  I guess I need to be content with what we already have.  

Please pray with us that China will accept our "petition to adopt" soon and that travel approval and visas will come soon after that.  Our dossier (all the paperwork) has been approved by China, so in my mind there is no reason that we shouldn't be able to go get our Little One very soon.  God knows that we need our little one and that Little G needs us.  But, they say patience is a virtue, right?  OK, so I'll continue to wait patiently...and keep NESTING!!!!

Check back again for more updates.  Hopefully soon we can post the most exciting news!!  Until then, keep praying!
