Homestudy Done . . . Again!

Well, we thought we were done a week ago, but we had a few more documents for Guatemala to finish up, which we just did yesterday. I spoke with Kelly Jo at Heartsent last week and she said that the government is moving quickly with the rubber stamp 'OK', the I-171 I think, that will clear us for a match, and that we should have that within the next four weeks or so. She also said that there is no waiting list at the moment (gulp), so we could get a match right away (gulp again).

So suddenly what Christopher and I thought would take another three to five months may happen in one. Which we are ecstatic about! But now the weight of all we have to do and learn before the baby comes is setting in. Like outfit a nursery, learn about developmental stages, reorganize closets, babyproof. Oh my!

Before, I would casually browse sites on, say, diapering systems, thinking "I'd really like to be eco-friendly in the diaper department." Now, I'm frantically scanning the fine print and thinking, "there's no way I'm going to handwash a dozen poopy diapers a day" and that pre-soaking and double washing and all isn't so eco-friendly in an area with water-shortage issues. So anyone who has suggestions on the subject, by all means chime in!

Oooh, this blog is getting fun isn't it? We're on to poopy diapers already! :-)
