No Second Hand Stores For You

I wish we wouldn't have decided on just boys from Ethiopia, because now allll I want to do is buy little boy clothes, toys, and stuff. I know we have 2 years (or more possibly) but every time I see an adorable onesie or a really cute diaper pattern I wanna snatch it up! It is so hard resisting myself and some times I just don't and buy whatever it is that I find adorable that day. I have banned myself from second hand stores because of outfits like this:

Second Hand Stores Are Dangerous!

Incredibly cute, yes, however I have no idea if this will even fit the child we get. But, I just couldn't help myself. Plus, it was only 6 bucks for all of it! I think that if we were on both the girl and boy waiting list that I would buy much less but I am probably wrong. I am now looking for tops that go well with this shirt for family pictures (I have a problem) for Howie and I. Hoping our little one is in 12 month clothes or smaller when he comes home! Cause that is what I have started doing, only collecting 12 month and up clothes. I am pretty safe (or so I tell myself) because we want to adopt a boy under 1 year.

I also have to watch myself on the internets, especially sites like this one and this one where I know I will be shopping like mad in a few years but for now I can only browse and dream.

That was my rant for the day. I am going to hang this outfit up in our boys bedroom so whenever I am working in there I can remember who will be rolling around on the carpet I am cleaning, or who will be sleeping in the crib I am setting up. My favorite is every night I go to bed thinking about how awesome that first time I see him will be. It helps me sleep, like a rock. AND have dreams about him having red hair (ridiculous I know but that is what I dreamt), and being so small he fits in my palm (again, I know, but thats how I dream! LOL). I do have some crazy dreams about our little guy! I also dreamt recently about going to Honduras to get our second child, that was a fun dream. It had all my Honduran friends in it and I woke up so hopeful that I will see all of them someday again :).

Anyways, just thought I would post a little something about this. We still have our homestudy to do. I think we have the slowest adoption ever. Most people apply and have their homestudy like a month later. We're on the longer track because of having to raise the money first. Oh well, it's been a crazy ride! Can't wait for some pit stops along the way!!!
