The Baby's Room

HOW COULD I FORGET THIS?  Jon and I cleaned house in a major way.  We got rid of all of our mis-matched furniture and bought new furniture to replace it (a few weeks ago).  This was going to be our last major purchase before the baby came (sidebar: thanks to a leaky roof, the furniture will NOT be our last major purchase before the baby comes). 

In the process, we moved furniture all around our house.  We moved matresses from one room to another, downstairs furniture is now upstairs, upstairs furniture is now downstairs.  Additionally, we transformed the "dogs room" which was one of our upstairs bedroom into a baby's room.  It is a very sad baby's room however.  It consists of a rocking chair and our emergency baby "to go" bag.  Oh yea, and we have two cute little baby shirts hanging on hangers in the closet that Jon get when skiing in CO. 

There are two schools of thought on the prepartion of the baby's room when adopting:

1. It will keep you excited, motivated, and take your mind off of the process if you paint it, decorate, buy furniture, etc. 
2. It will keep you depressed, angry, and resentful everytime you pass the finished room and realize you still don't have a baby and that there is no guarantee that you will ever have a baby. 

So, Jon and I split the difference and have a room ready for a quick paint job if a baby comes, but also didn't decorate or buy furniture so we don't have to soak up each other's tears as we disasemble baby furniture or repaint the walls from baby blue or pink to white and think about "what could have been?!?!"
