We are so excited to be at this stage. We cannot wait until our home study is complete and approved. The home study process, while long and tedious at times, has served as an insightful tool at looking at our lives, our marriage, what we envision our family to be, and what we envision our parental style to be. Sometimes I think this four year process of trying to build our family has given us an opportunity to prepare for parenthood more than if we were able to get pregnant soon and just have 9 months to figure it all out.
I've spent many, many hours and days and years researching different parenting styles, types of diapers, the best cribs, the best carseats, the best day cares, and the best foods for babies. I've had a chance to watch my friends and family raise their children and learn from what they've done. We've been able to go ahead and purchase items for our future family member.
I know that no amount of research and preperation can truly prepare you for the chaos that parenthood can be. I do think that it helps to have these ideas handy to help in creating the most loving, caring, and nurturing environment to raise a little one.
I just cannot wait! I am looking forward to our little family and all of the memories we will create!
