Trying to stay occupied

In order to keep from going crazy (or, um, crazier) I have thrown myself into researching cloth diapers and oh my word there are such cute ones out there! They have come a long way since I was a kid! So I am really looking forward to using them! And thanks to sites like this one it makes it more affordable to start our stash! We've also shopped here and here and found great deals! We've also shopped at Etsy.com also has the cutest custom covers and other accessories (if you have never checked out etsy.com before you are totally missing out!).

Besides researching cloth diapers, nothing major has gone on in the adoption world. We have sent in grant applications so we are waiting to hear back from those. We also got word of when our spring workshop will be. Other than that the last week or so has been really frustrating as the wait has been pretty draining but we know that it will all work out in God's time. It's just tough to not be anxious sometimes but thankfully our Sunday school class has been doing a study on choices and the last one was making a choice to trust and not be anxious which has helped. Hopefully we'll hear some good news soon!

New Blog Page

Hello everyone...just wanted to put in a plug for my own personal blog page. It's just a place where I reflect on how my faith interacts with my everyday life (which obviously includes parts of our adoption process!). Check it out sometime: www.johnzbc.blogspot.com

Adoption updates...honestly we're just waiting. If you are into praying, please pray that we do better at having patience:) Easier said than done...we realize it's out of our hands and that God is in control of all things...however, it is still a difficult process

Great day!

We just got in from our parenting conference in Concord and it was great!  Well, 3 out of the 5 sessions were great.  The other 2 weren't horrible.  The information was good but the speaker was a bit of a snooze.  So we felt really great about the information that we picked up from this conference.

Today was also a great day because we registered at Babies R Us!  It was so much fun!  Completely overwhelming but still great!  We are making the move to become more eco-friendly so it was important for us (me mostly) to look for organic or otherwise eco-friendly products.  We are also leaning towards doing cloth diapers.  They have come such a long way from when I was a kid!  So I am very excited about learning all of these things!

And the last piece of awesomeness of the day was that we received our wall art to go over the crib!  We were looking for something to go above the crib and I asked a friend of mine if she had any ideas of what we could do as she's very gifted (she's getting her website up and running so soon you'll be able to check it out here!)  So we got our package yesterday and we got it put up today!  It is so amazing!  I almost started crying when we got it all put up and I sat on the bed looking at it.  She is an amazing artist & I can't thank her enough for helping us create the nursery for our baby!
