We had our "girl" shower last Saturday. It was such fun. Girl stuff is way funner than boy stuff. That's probably just because I've been doing boy stuff for the last 12 years!
We got lots of clothes, and are filling up her closet and dresser nicely!
My sister-in-law gave me this cute basket. I should have taken a picture of what she did because it was so cute. She strung a clothesline and hung the clothes on the line! I'm going to use this as her toy basket. I know, its pathetic how little toys are in there right now! I'm just not sure what she will like. For already having a Down syndrome child I know very little about what they do at each stage. That's because to this day Jax doesn't eat by mouth, sit up, or play with toys. So I'm a first time Down syndrome mommy all over again!
My mom gave me this cute play mat. Again it will be great because I don't know if she'll be sitting up or not. My guess would be no. She's not even a year yet, and with no therapy I doubt she's sitting. But maybe now we can put Jax bumbo seat to good use! We were never able to use it for him!
Oh and these shoes! OMG!! You probably know that I have a major baby shoe fetish. Jax has so many shoes. I have held off on getting her shoes until I know a size. I got these at the shower and I can't wait to try them on her.Just look at these MaryJanes!

I found your other blog last year through a friend and I have been following your journey. I pray for your family every night(morning) and I can't wait to see that baby girl in your arms. You are such a great mom and she is a very lucky little girl. God bless..
ReplyDeleteI totally agree on the waiting issue. It's been so hard mentally, so I've decided that I'm going to get involved in the Utah County chapter of the UDSF and help with organizing some get-togethers to help keep my mind engaged in a good cause while we wait. I think that will help!
ReplyDeleteFun new clothes! Hang in there!
Oh, PS...did you get my order for the hair clips a couple of weeks ago? I'm pretty sure I paid and everything.
ReplyDeleteI ordered the ladybugs, butterflies and white bows. E-mail me at hfillmore@digis.net if you need more info. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe sent our dossier off last week and I do think this waiting is the hardest part! The paperchasing was no fun, but it kept me busy with many little goals to reach. But a dear friend is going to throw us a shower, and we've already rec'd lots of little girl clothes. I agree, it's so much fun when all you've ever known is boys stuff :-) You'll get her soon enough! Have you been submitted yet?
ReplyDeleteGirl clothes are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI could die for that last pair of shoes...soooo cute!! You will have so much fun and go broke with buying girl stuff. You simply can't stop yourself. I have been trying not to buy Ella much and what happens, I want to buy it for you instead :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww, it looks like you got some really great stuff! I hope and pray your wait to bring Makayla home is almost over.
ReplyDeleteWow, Makayla is going to be one stylish little girl! I love the shoes, too cute!
ReplyDeleteWe submitted our I-600A a week and a half ago to adopt Alyona from the same orphanage. I agree with you, the waiting is the worst! At least you are that much closer!
so excited that shower went well. All her clothes look so cute hanging in the closet there! Those shoes are absolutely ADORABLE! can't wait til you get to meet your girl. The waiting must be terrible!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you don't have to wait too much longer!!! And yes, girl stuff is waaay funner than boys. :-)
ReplyDeleteLacey,
ReplyDeleteHeather Fillmore pointed me to your darling blog. I'm in Utah too (Logan). Not adopting (yet). I wondered if you'd be interested in sitting with me (and Heather if she's not travelling by then!) at the Salt Lake Buddy Walk table for RR on Septemper 18th? Email me at lisamichelle@gmail.com if you want. Here's more info www.reecesrainbow.org/buddywalks.html
