The Room!

As promised here are pictures of the nursery! The wall color didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to, but once we get a permanent placement I will make it more girlie if needed.
Our baby monitor is FREAKIN AMAZING! It's a video/sound monitor and my friend found it at a garage sale for $5!
I need to add additional wall art & curtains... I know.

It's Almost Time...

Well there hasn't been too much activity going on around our place, just a lot of preparation. We finally received all our baby furniture (thanks Auntie Autumn!) and Big Swigg has been putting one piece together each night. We had some friends donate 3 other dressers to us so that will be helpful if we ever end up taking on more than one child! I ended up using one of the dressers as toy storage and that seems to work well! I really admire Big Swigg for putting all that furniture together. I picked up a book case from Big Lots last week & I attempted to put it together... let's just say it's not my best work! I'll post pictures of the nursery soon but I need a few more ideas for wall decor. I've taken a few things from pintrest, but I don't know if that's enough.
We sign our contract with DHS today. That will make us eligible for payment. (Our fingerprints are finally back). So after today we should start getting calls for our first foster placement. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time! I still have more things that  I need to purchase. Just last minute items like a humidifier & laundry basket... They aren't anything crucial, but things I know I will eventually need!
Lucky for me I have a small variety of diaper sizes in my stockpile, but I'm relying on friends to let me borrow a few other sizes enough to get me thru one night just in case I get a baby in the middle of the night and who knows what size they will be!
