Sarah’s room has been ready since March. We were in a big rush to get it ready in time for her arrival. Little did we know that delays would push that back 10 months or more. We sort of stalled there for a while, but we’re getting back in gear!

So now that we know who and where our little girl is, we’re going like mad again. We’ve sent all the paperwork off for our Chinese visas (we need them to enter China) and we’ve sent money off for the orphanage fee. We’ve also bought a cradle with all the furnishings and a high chair (bye-bye to that pay check). Got the bottles, got the baby toiletries, got the sippy cups. Next stop, a car seat and probably a few more outfits.

Here’s a bonus – we’re getting our stroller in China where we’re told a really nice stroller costs about $20 US.

We had forgotten just how much stuff a baby needs – but we’re remembering quickly! It’s a fun time getting ready, but we’d rather have nothing ready for her, but instead be rushing to get on a plane to get that sweet little one. We just keep remembering that this must all be done in God’s time which does not always match our schedule.
