Ok, So I Have an Official Shopping Disorder

This will soon be Sydney's closet, and it is already completely stuffed with clothes! I actually purchased most of the clothes pictures here well over a year ago. My dear hubby finally managed to put an end to my ongoing shopping spree and helped me see the reality of our situation. I guess I didn't have much of a defence against his arguments:
1. I have no idea if any of the clothes that I have been purchasing will even fit since she could be anywhere from 7 months to 2 years old. TRUE
2. I have no idea which month and season we will finally bring her home. TRUE
3. There will still be a ton of cute baby clothes available when we get our referral. TRUE
So, I guess I will just have to wait until closer to referral to do anymore damage.
We are about to have our house remodeled, so I had to box up all of Sydney's clothes. Elizabeth will be temporarily moving down to the baby's room during our remodel.
After I filled FOUR large boxes with baby clothes, I had to finally admit that it was a bit ridiculous. Then I had to add in the fact that we are probably at least 9 months away from a referral! Ahhh.
No more shopping for me for a while. :( Once our house is finished (hopefully 3-4 months) I get to start on the nursery. Yeah! Finally more baby shopping!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well, another Mother's Day has come and gone without my little one here to hold. I pray that I will have her here with me on this special day next year.
I said a special prayer today for Sydney and her biological family. My heart aches for what they must be going through.
My heart goes out to all of the other waiting families who also did not have their little ones home on this Mother's Day.
