Fast forward life.
I opened the door and there it was. The big box we bought online (after much research through our book, online, personal Mom experiences, and visiting several stores). I dragged it over the threshold, into our home, into our lives - sounds so dramatic! The second I got it in the house I paused and I flashed back to the vacuum and realized...three years ago we were assembling a vacuum cleaner and now? A baby carseat. Whoa, right? From vacuum cleaner to baby car seat in three years?! It was such a strange feeling, strange in a good way, it was a new feeling, and I liked it.
We have been advised by our social worker that we should, at the very least, have a carseat and somewhere for the baby to sleep. This is the "hospital call" scenario. Its pretty much what it sounds like. You get a call that a baby was born that meets your child desired portfolio and if you are interested you should bring said carseat and yourselves to this hospital to pick up the baby.
I go back and forth between being ALL about this scenario and wanting the traditional scenario. Really, it doesn't matter because God's gonna do what He do and that is what will be best for us. He knows what we need in all matters, not just this one, and I totally trust that.
Ready to see our precious stuff?!

| So blessed to have a handy hubby. He actually read the instructions and put the whole thing together himself while I ooooh'ed and ahhhh'ed at how adorable it all was. |
