The Reveal
Back in November, we were told that we needed to send pictures of a decorated nursery. I admit, it stressed me out a bit to think of what to do for a gender neutral nursery. I ran so many different ideas around in my head and searched online for inspiration. Well, once the new year arrived, I got down to it and finally got to work. I have really had fun decorating it and I hope that the birthmothers like it. I REALLY hope they like it! I did a painting for Kaori's nursery soon after she came home. Well, I was uncertain as to what to paint for our new baby, so I ended up doing numerous smaller projects for him or her. I drew and painted four smaller pictures that are framed on the walls, I made a banner, designed the mobile, made a pillow and made the artwork on the wall. So, I think that is special for the baby. Once the baby comes home, I will do something more personal for him or her. So, here is my reveal. Too bad this blog only has a few visitors. :(
I bought this onesie what seems like forever ago, but at least I can display it now!

Happy New Year!
Now that the New Year has passed, I hope things are moving forward in Japan. We received news that in 2010, there were 9 adoptions. We also received news that the program is no longer accepting applications due to the extended wait time which is now 12-18 months. Well, we are coming up on month 18, so perhaps we will hear something soon. But, we are not getting our hopes up.
I have been getting some work done on the nursery and will take pictures later this month to send to Taz so that she can add them to our album. We heard that our new album has made it to Japan and we are excited to know that we have a fresh start this year. We are supposed to update our immigration paperwork come Feb. 1. It is not a big deal to do that, but I much prefer to not have to. :) From what I can tell there are at least 12 waiting families. That is a lot considering they only placed 9 children last year. I am prayerful our time will come soon.
Well, that is all for now!
