*inspiration...*

{so a month or two ago..you might recall...we sold our guest bed. which meant that gave us the go to start getting the "bones" ready for little c's room. after moving the bed out of the room and seeing all the baby items that we've been given or have been accumulating...we thought we should put the crib up. so that is what b and i did. as soon as it was up..it went down.  we realized seeing all the items like the car seats, the crib, the changing pad...books...all of these items had made it so incredibly hard on us to deal with the long wait. so we boxed it all up. most of it went into the closet and some of it went to the attic. it was all so we didn't have to see it each and every day and be reminded of the difficult process. have you ever heard of the phrase..out of sight..out of mind..well that isn't fully the case for us...but it has helped. the only thing you see that screams baby is the crib...like i said..it was taken down as soon as it was put up. it's in the corner stacked all nice and neat. b and i both agree that when we do finally get our referral (going on 18 months the day after Christmas)..that is when all the items will come back out and the "bones" will be worked on. until then..i'm still looking for inspirations for little c's room. i know by the time he or she's picture arrives in our e-mail inbox...we will have plenty to inspire us.}

{i hate to admit it...bit i don't remember where i found this...so sorry!! if someone has seen this..please let me know so i can give it it's proper link. thanks!!}

what a beautiful room!
and i don't blame you a bit for putting everything out of sight. when we were waiting for our travel call, i finally just had to shut the door to noah's room and stop going in. was just too hard to be in there.

i LOVE that bed.
and i *so* get what you mean about needing to put everything away. we had to, and it's been three months since we've gotten everything back out and sometimes it's still hard going in there even though i know he's coming!

Yeah, I so get where you are coming from on this... So very hard to have it *right* there!

darling big huge A. girl - i bet. especially when it's taking soooooo much longer than you thought. i'm sure at some point you've got to be like "okay - enough's enough". i'm sure it was fun & exciting to look at it all at first ... but after awhile, it just is an in-your-face reminder that you are still in this dreaded waiting period. :P still praying by the year's end you get some NEWS!
