Nursery Thoughts

Although I am extremely excited about becoming a Mom, and I have fully educated my sphere-of- influence on all things adoption, I have been reluctant to make any significant purchases for the nursery.  I mean, I have a vision and all but that's the extent of it!  Until NOW!

I wanted something calm and relaxing.  A place where both the baby and I could feel peaceful.  I have spent hours online searching 
for the highest quality products, the safest options and the most eco-friendly while still being economically friendly.
I chose bamboo and it is just beautiful.  I had anticipated hiring someone to lay it but my fabulous MOM installed it herself.

So step one has been completed.  Here's a picture of the finished project, and of my mom installing them.  She will probably not be happy of the butt shot!  LOL.  Sorry MOM.

I am gonna try for a better shot once I start putting some stuff in it.

  4. Me again! Saw your post! Thanks for the words on the nursery. I know what you mean on being reluntant. I have been using it as a way to pass the "wait" time!

    Myself and another family are waiting for registration in our region for Russia. We are hoping for that this week. From there -- who knows! I hope for a quick referral turnaround. They've had our documents for a bit now - so hopefully they've been "mulling" us over and getting ready!

    BTW -- I LOVE, love, love the pics you have been posting from your childhood. I have one that I may have to post in your honor. I think our mothers had the same cameras!!

  6. Robbin the floor is beautiful. Your mom deserves a gold medal for that. I put flooring in my office and it wasn't as easy as it looked. Go mom!

  7. Aren't Moms wonderful! The floor is gorgeous. I would decorate away. We had Gracie's nursery complete in Sept. and we didn't get our referral til Feb. I used to love going in there and just daydreaming.
