Necessities = provided!
Thanks to incredible family & friends, we are slowly acquiring the necessities to bring home a baby!
Last month my sister gave us a barely used Graco carseat (that goes from infant 12lbs to toddler 40lbs, yay!). Then last week my MIL's best friend gave us an exercauser, pack & play, and umbrella stroller that were barely used (she bought them to use to babysit) and then last week my MIL bought us.... our crib!!!
Target ran a very cool deal last week where you could buy certain cribs & get a FREE mattress. So we got the crib & mattress for $150! Score!! Thanks Mom & Dad McGee for buying our crib!!
Although Will says we still aren't allowed to go shopping yet, knowing that we have a few things already just makes my heart skip a beat. We're really going to have a baby!
And while we aren't doing too much to prepare for our baby by buying stuff at this point, the Lord has been so good to us as we prepare emotionally & mentally for an addition to our family. I just got back from the Created For Care retreat in Atlanta and can't wait to share what God has been teaching me.

ReplyDeleteSo much fun! And what an awesome way to be blessed! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Our God is SO good! I can't wait to see that baby home! So glad we got to meet at the retreat. I love that out of all the people, we were right by each other at the first session! What an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you this weekend! Our prayer time was very encouraging to me. I'm glad you're getting your home ready for the baby- I'm sure it's feeling more and more real every day!
ReplyDeleteWe are also slowly acquiring some things- I am TRYING to keep most of it for the awful waiting period between referral and travels... I think I will need the distraction! :-) But it is SO hard to resist! We just picked up a stroller last week! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I didn't say goodbye! We left at 8:30 to beat the traffic and get home earlier than 2 in the morning. I had a great time getting to know you better and getting to see your heart for the Lord. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing how God is providing all these precious baby things for ya'll! And LOVED getting to meet you this weekend! Wish we had gotten to hang out more! You are so SWEET!! Can't wait until we can all hang out again! :)
