More Waiting

I feel like I have titled at least 15 posts with that title. Today was the day that we were supposed to get the date for the c-section scheduled. The birthmother went for the appointment only to find that the doctor was at the hospital delivering another baby! They rescheduled her appt. for Oct. 10. Two more weeks! We need to buy plane tickets and get hotel rooms!

It is so funny though...the things I have begun to take for granted. Instead of staying up all night wondering IF there would be a heartbeat today I was wondering what I am going to pack for the trip to Michigan...etc. Kara's beautiful little heartrate today was 145. Yes, I am so grateful.

Here are a couple of pictures in the meantime.

Border up and Football Season!

Well, here it is! All done. We just need our friend to come over and show us how to set up the crib. We got it from this friend with no instructions but he says he remembers how to put it together since he did it for his two kids.

Finally, college football has begun. We have tickets to all of the UCLA home games and look forward to football season all year. Go Bruins! I swear Ellie is smiling in the picture where I am holding our first game tickets. :)

Labor Day Weekend Project--edited

We decided to paint the nursery this weekend. My friend, Nicole, willingly came over to help us even though it was 112 degrees outside. Obviously inside was much cooler but that kind of heat makes me want to relax and do nothing. We finished the room in 2 1/2 hours and I love the way it turned out. We put up blinds after the paint was dry last night and will finish it off with the border tomorrow.

(Edited--Ellie didn't have her teeth pulled afterall--we have to take her to a specialist and the dr. said to just keep an eye on them.)
