Just Call Us Eager (and Prepared) :)

As you may already know, Chris and I would L-O-V-E to be blessed with twins one day! Preferably 1 boy and 1 girl . . . it's something we've been praying for for years now. In light of our current fertility treatments, the chances of conceiving multiples is slightly higher . . . which is certainly to our benefit b/c twins don't run in either of our families. In addition, since the road to parenthood has been so long and arduous thus far, we would kind of like to reap as many rewards as possible with our first pregnancy (given there will be one) in case we just don't get the opportunity again. However, we are also prepared to not have twins as well (which we would still be happy with). And despite God's plans for a biological family, we are very in tune with His plan of adoption for us as well! So we firmly believe that we will have at least 1 child (if not more) of each gender. We've even chosen their names at this point . . . we're just waiting to actually have them (lol).

That being said, I received an email today from Target marketing their big baby sale and I just couldn't resist thumbing through the pages to see what they had to offer . . . after all, we will need this stuff ONE day :) While flipping through the pages of little girl bedding ensembles, there it was . . . in perfect pink and green, our baby girl's nursery!!! We've had our "son's" nursery bedding picked out for a long time now (we even bought it when it went on sale!), but now we've picked out our "daughter's" nursery bedding and we both just love it!!! We haven't bought it, we're not quite to that point yet (lol), but we will certainly be keeping our eyes on it from now on. And if it goes anything like the first one did, we'll be making a purchase as soon as it's placed on clearance! When faced with kismet, you don't take chances! I would be so sad if we chose to wait on buying this bedding (for practical reasons) and then couldn't find it when the time came around to actually need it.



Other than the design just being absolutely fabulous and falling in love with it instantly, the thing I loved most about it was the beautiful little asian girl that Target so conveniently placed in the picture. It's like they were reading our minds! Knowing full well that in 1 year's time we are FINALLY going to be ready to send in our adoption paperwork to China for a precous baby girl, i was able to get a tiny glimpse of what our life could look like 2 years from now . . . even if just for a second. And it was perfect . . . unfathomably perfect.
