All ready to be paper pregnant!!!

So we had our second homestudy meeting, which went well. I asked when we could get our profile out and she said as soon as I get your porfolio/scrapbook. I hadn't even started. AHHH! So DH and I will be working on that this weekend. We have to get results of the fingerprinting back before we are "finalized" but we can still show our portfolio. Our agency is working with two pregnant moms right now. I'm so excited.

We are starting to renovate our main bathroom tomorrow. Going on a family vacation in July. Getting ready for the summer. And of course chasing after my daughter.

Paper pregnant

Congratulations Sarah!

I think you need to celebrate and buy a 'paper pregnant' t-shirt! It's great that you have projects and vacations planned - that will help with this portion of the wait.

Hope you become a mama soon!
