Doing better...

I'm doing better today. Physically and emotionally. Keith & I talked last night and decided that we won't decorate the nursery until *after* we get our referral. I'm just afraid of jinxing myself and getting it all decorated for a girl and then getting referred a boy and have to do it over. I also don't think emotionally it's a good idea for me to be sitting in an empty nursery for a year. I'm going to muk out the room and paint the base colors (red, white, & sage green). I'll also get a closet organizer installed. But until we have our referral, I won't buy bedding or decorations unless it's unisex type stuff. We are going to do the bathroom in a ducky theme which works for both genders. So I'll start buying that decor and storing it in a tote until it gets closer to bring baby home. I'm also going to work on decluttering and deep cleaning every room in the house. That oughta take a year. I talked to Keith about having Merry Maids come every couple of weeks for the first couple of months after we get Sarah home. He seemed open to the idea. So that's the scoop in this neck of the woods. Can you tell I'm *not* a patient waiter? Off to do audit prep. Ugh, another audit.
