Thoughts From The Nursery

I'm sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery pondering everything that happened last week. Maybe sitting here will make everything seem more real. We bought furniture for the nursery today! We found a crib, changing table, dresser and rocking chair on KSL for $200. We originally thought the nursery colors would be pistachio green and black. However, this set is white and supper cute. I just love the dresser! I promise to post pictures soon. Corey absolutely does not want to paint the walls. He says it's new paint so what is the point in painting it. He is always so logical. This set does look really good with the tan walls and white trim so I don't think we will paint.

Corey and I had our physicals last week and everything checked out ok. We are officially healthy enough to be parents. Our family Physician thought he would check Corey's testosterone level.........COME ON! I am so done with the medical testing. Being in the medical field myself I know that it's in my Physicians nature to "fix it". And he wouldn't be a good Physician if he didn't. Were just both ready to move on, we have moved on. So needless to say when the blood work all came back normal we weren't disappointed this time. Liberty had her physical too. She has one kidney smaller than the other and the vet seems to think that it won't be long before she starts showing signs of kidney disease. :( Some things your just better off not knowing.

We completed our 45 question questionnaire this week for the social worker. It took us both about four hours a piece. We wanted to answer the questions as honestly and thorough as possible. Now all the paperwork for the social worker is done and we should have a home study date soon. I was able to get the delivery date for the living room furniture moved up by a week. Hopefully its here in time for the home study. I started the profile album and letter for the birth mother. I'm finding that to be the most difficult part of all this so far. Every time I think about how courageous, kind, and unselfish the birth mother is I break down. Somehow I'm finding the strength to do this. I don't know where it's coming from but I'm very grateful. Thank you all for your love and support.

PS Corey built storage shelves in the basement today, and is spraying everything with 409. Do Daddy's go through the nesting phase? :)
