FRIENDS!!

Another trip to a friend's house, another trip home with a loaded car full of baby stuff :) Thanks Yvette!! We went through bags and tubs full of tiny things. Yvette's twins were smaller than most babies so you can imagine how tiny they were. They were like barbie clothes. And I know barbie clothes! When other preteens were hiding on the playground having their first kiss, I was rushing home to make a new barbie car out of shoe box. Yes, I played way to long. Oh well, I'm a late bloomer. Gord and I used to joke that we would be using a walker and pushing a stroller at the same time. Talk about late bloomers. Back to talking about our donations. Previous donors have been Lisa and Tammy. Thanks Guys!! It is like going to garage sale but not having to wonder "hmmm where has this been??". You all say "you probably want new stuff", but "motherhood" hasn't changed me. I'm still very practical and budget conscious. Plus, I need to save $$ for our big trip. I'm sure Ella will get her fair share of new stuff, just not in the first 6ish months. We are very lucky to have all this support. I have a great list of things I need to bring to Toledo that I found on my adoption group website. We have all but two things scratched off. We are ahead of the game!

Next task, finding a pediatrician. I have some great leads! We hope to meet with them in November and get some of our questions answered. Did you know you can't fly with a baby less than 14 days without a Dr's note?? Most of my contacts had said they had the note, but were never asked for it. So, better safe than sorry.
