Adoption journey

[Lolly1985]

Wow, you have been amazingly patient then! But when you find your little one you'll think that if things had progressed quicker then you wouldn't have found your little monkey! So yes, it'll all be worth it!

Today we are doing the nursery!! I have worked out between holidays etc, we only have three weekends at home to get things sorted before giving Tomy album in at matching panel!! Yikes!!!

 

[dreamofabean]

Eek so exciting lolly! Are you decorating the room or just using the transfers? Do we get before and after pics?! I'm such a nursery geek I know!!

 

[Lolly1985]

Haha, maybe, depends how it turns out!! It won't be totally finished as we'll need things like rugs and more toy storage, light shade and blind. But the idea will be there! They are stickers that we are putting on the cream walls (freshly painted and couple of weeks back!) Got to go wine shopping for other halfs grandma first though!! Oh dear...!

Decorating the nursery is SO much fun. I have bought furniture but now waiting until linked so I can fill in the details.

Lolly - so exciting (and a bit scary) for you to only have 3 weekends left. Part of me really looks forward to that slightly manic stag.

 

[dreamofabean]

Perfect sounds like it'll be lush Hun! Def need pics once its complete! We should start a nursery pics thread! Lol

 

[dreamofabean]

Forgot to say, had little man's medical through this morning. All is perfect

 

[Lolly1985]

Great news Dream! Wonder if they will still want you to meet the medical advisor like us even though all is a-ok? Right, best crack on!!

Lola hope you manage to sort everything out there must be someway around it. Rainy welcome to our crazy but lovely thread and hope we can all be some help or just people to listen to you. Dream congrats on the all clear on little boys medical. Lolly you best get cracking time will go so fast.
Bluebumble if you read this I am thinking about you and hope that everything turns out right for you's, you deserve this little girl so much and hope you get your happy ending fingers crossed for both of you. Could everyone say a little pray or cross your fingers or whatever you can for bluebumble and her family please.
My news is we've been to the farm today and little one got completely spoilt rotten from grandma and granda and mammy got spoilt a bit as well.tonight she is sleeping at her aunties house and having lamb dinner lucky girl.
Mammy and daddy are having a nice meal as an early anniversary treat as we are on holiday on our actual anniversary.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

 

[Lolly1985]

Everything crossed for you Bluebumble I really hope all is ok and whatever is happening can be worked through. Loski is right, you deserve this LO and we are all thinking of you no matter what

Loski, have a wonderful meal and an early happy anniversary to you Eat, drink and be merry lovely, it is very much deserved

Nursery continues.... we are heading to argos soon to swap one set of drawers for the same set in pink. Who knew pine could vary in colour so drastically Pink is the way forward. Happy with it so far, can wait until it's finished. Dream, if you want a picture you'll have to tell me how to upload, i'm not that technical

That is what our Guardian adlitem said, dont take them because you HAVE to, that makes for an ugly situation and we have a 'no refunds' policy. she was the one that told us to get a lawyer and no, our house isnt meant for 5; 8 if you count pets! and our economy is still in the crapper, so its not like we can sell and buy something else

 

[aimze]

Great few pages to catch p on...loving the nursery talk!

Lola I hope everything gets sorted for you Hun!

[dreamofabean]

Lol lolly! Not sure either Hun!!! As for the medical I don't think so, think its just if there are any issues. No idea really though!
Loski that sounds lovely, have a fab meal
Thinking of you bluebumble xx

Lolly How is the nursery coming?

Lola I am sorry you are faced with this tough decision. When we were fostering we had two, a borther and sister. That is what we had said we were able to do. I week later the court said that the little brother had to be with them. If we didn't take him we would have lost the other two. It is intersting how they don't think about that before placement.

Aimze Friday is getting closer! I can't wait to hear how it goes.

Loski is sounds like such a great weekend!

dream it sounds like little one is going to be such a gem. I am glad things are coming together.

welcome to the group Rainy! I look forward to seeing the rest of your journey.

I got a carseat this week! EEk! I couldn't pass it up, it was such a good deal and it is gender nutral. I really hope I am not jinxing anything. Also, I have a friend who has a cousin who recently found out she is pregnant. She placed her last one for adoption. My friend is going to talk to her and see if she is wanting to place this one as well, and talk to her about us! I don't know if anything will come of this, but it would be so exciting.

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh gosh Karen, that could prove to be exciting! X

 

[LolaM]

fingers crossed for you!

 

[Lolly1985]

Ditto Karen, I wish you well and who knows where it may lead. You never know hun!! Good for you on getting the carseat. You'll need lots so makes sense to start getting bits to put away. Yikes, so exciting making your first purchases!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend? We have been busy!! Lots of painting round the house and we finally have a nursery fit for a little pink princess!! Still lots to do really but the main things are done, wardrobe, cot bed and pink chest of drawers. We have unpacked the toys and books and put them in the toy tidies. Have a rug and blind to go up. The feature wall is done as it lovely. I have a nursery, I am going to have a baby!! Oh my goodness... xxx

 

[dreamofabean]

Eek eek eek!!! So exciting!!

 

[Loski83]

Lolly so excited for you won't be long till you have your little princess sleeping in her room.
