Life is Good

I am still floating. I still can't believe I am out of PGN and that Abby is going to be home this spring, before the weather even gets warm again!! My agency confirmed that my case was registered before the 2/12 deadline, so I am in the home stretch of this entire process. All my focus has been on my upcoming visiti trip in less than two weeks, but now with this news about PGN approval, I have to get ready for my life to turn upside down (it's all good). I spent a few hours at Babies-R-Us today, and that place is quite overwhelming for the new mom-to-be in my opinion. I mean is it really necessary to have a choice of 8 gazillion bottle nipples? Jeez.... The only times I have been in that store before was to buy a gift for a baby shower, and that is not overwhelming at all. You go to the computer, print out your friend's baby registry and go find find the item your friend selected. There is no weighing one type vs. another, no wondering if you are going to make the "wrong" choice because your friend selected it, and all you are doing it picking it up and paying for it. Pretty easy. Not so much when you have to make choices on everything. I avoided most of the big decisions because I only went in to buy a few items for my upcoming trip. I know when I get back, I have to really stock up. Maybe it will be easier now that I have dipped my feet in a bit.

I got some new pics of Abby a few days ago to keep me occupied until I see her on the 29th. Her foster mother, Gloria, really seems to connect with Abby and has her dressed in a girlie-girl outfit.


She looks cute and has really started to fill out with her cute chubby cheeks!
