Blessings Flow and Here We Go!

I have an amazing God that has blessed me with and through some amazing friends.

MINUTES after I posted about our plan to open our home to infants in need I had friends messaging me to let me know that they will help fill our baby-supply needs.  Seriously. Hubby and I are blown away by how the doors are swinging wide open.

Here’s what the Lord has blessed us with already through my amazing friends:

• Crib (YAY! Blew me away.)
• Cradle
• Baby bath
• Play mats
• Bumbo chair
• Bottles
• And “Everything you will need, and more”
• Moby wrap (updated)
• Boppy Pillow (updated)

My biggest wish-list item is was a moby wrap (but then as soon as I wrote this, someone GOT IT FOR ME!), because babies who have been exposed to substances tend to have sensory issues, and I am planning on wearing her as much as possible. Plus I HATE those heavy car-seat carriers.

Here is the link to my Target registry again.

In other news, our new licensing worker came today to do our “renewal” and everything was very quick and smooth. The funniest moment of the visit was when I was showing our worker the room where the baby will be, which is currently housing our baby chicks. She looked at me and said “You know that you won’t be able to have chickens in here once the baby comes.” I just smiled at her and confirmed that I did indeed understand that. She then smiled and said “I’ve never had to say THAT during a licensing visit before.”  I bet she hasn’t.

Now we are just waiting for our former agency to give our new agency copies of our homestudy, and we have to get our fingerprints done AGAIN. Thankfully, the hours available to do that are much more reasonable than when we first got licensed, so it shouldn’t be a problem. But still. Again?

Anywho, I am feeling so overwhelmed by God’s providence, and Hubby and I together are having total peace and joy over this, which is the coolest part.

Blessings!
