However, we did have quite a week of ups and downs. First we got to send a care package to our little girl. We met a couple in our adoption classes who left on Friday to go pick up their son. We are excited for them and were also happy to be able to send a few things for Shelby. As you can see, we sent an outfit, a camera, a photo album, and a little lovey which I actually slept with for over a month so it smells like us. We've read and heard from other sources that this can help with her transition to us because little children, especially, will recognize smell and find it comforting.
We let Hunter pick out some of the pictures we sent, the lovey, and hair bows that we also included. He was excited to send her some things so she could get to know our family.
Then on Thursday, I stopped at a children's resale store to check out what was on clearance. I figured maybe they would have some inexpensive spring and summer things since it is the wrong season here now. I'm suddenly realizing that we really have NOTHING for a little girl who we could be getting in a few months. We got spoiled with Hunter because of all the baby showers you have for a first child. So I found a couple of pairs of jeans, shorts, and dressier outfits, and some shoes. Ok, I'm really guessing on shoe size because the size they told us we think was a Euro size. I bought a size 2 and a size 3. Don't think Hunter ever wore shoes that small! She is such a tiny thing!
Size 3 but still think they may be too big. |
