Even though we have no indication yet as to when our time for a placement will come, we still decided to go ahead and work on our baby registry so we can have it finished and ready when it's needed. In an earlier post, we shared that we began our registry in November. We did not finish it then because we were overwhelmed by everything in Babies 'R Us and had NO idea what to scan in the last section of the store (the bottles/pacifier/meds/bath section). When we got back in our car that day with our registry left unfinished, we called 911!
The 911 call was made to one of our dear friends, Laura. We needed some MAJOR help, so we called her. Laura and her husband John have been a HUGE blessing to us in our college ministry leadership team at church. They are two of the most selfless and giving people we know. They were so willing to help us out and pour into us when "our girls" were here, and they have done the same during this adoption process. John and Laura have three young children, with the youngest under a year old. Laura certainly knows her baby stuff, so we were excited she could help us out.
If you could have been an onlooker of us Friday night, you probably would have been rolling on the floor of Babies 'R Us, doubled over in hysterical laughter! Eric and I have worked with children of all ages for years and even have little nieces and a nephew, but there is still SO much for us to learn. Thankfully, Laura was SO patient to explain everything we needed to know. She had even looked at our registry ahead of time to know what crazy things we had already registered for or didn't register for. Laura was helpful in minimizing the overwhelming feelings of seeing SO many items to choose from.
