Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Phew!

July24

Our dossier was safely reunited with our agency this morning at 8:13AM. So we are officially waiting for our referral of a baby girl! *Happy Dance* I usually don’t worry too much about mail not making it where it is supposed to go…but I recently sent my mom a package and it didn’t get there. Ever. Just disappeared off the face of the earth. So I am very thankful that I used Fed Ex and that it got there safely. It would have been so messy if I had to torture the poor delivery man who didn’t get my precious dossier where it was supposed to be. No amount of insurance could cover the worth of those documents.

If any of you are going to be first time parents, I highly recommend purchasing the book Baby Bargains. I have been overwhelmed with the thought of trying to figure out which car seat, stroller and other baby accessories to purchase. I honestly have no idea where to start! And I didn’t know what we really needed versus what would sit on a shelf and collect dust. This book has been very common sense advice. It reviews a large number of items and talks about what is needed and useful. It is written by parents and updated each year so the items reviewed on those on the market. (Consumer Reports always tends to be a few years behind and review only a small number of items.) They also review items from a durability/safety stand point as well as what real parents thought about it when using it every day.
