Before the baby I have to say I never actually had been in a "Babies R Us" store. The stores that I frequented the most was probably Bloomingdales and Macy's. Now that the baby will be here in less then 3 months, I have been to this baby store more times then my husband probably would like to count. I will admit I went a little overboard when they had a sale on all newborn clothing, but like I told my husband they make such cute boys clothes now!
For so many years I had been the aunt or friend buying a present for a baby shower, now here I am looking for my baby. Buying items for the baby is the part that makes this whole process worth it. The adoption process can sometimes leave you feeling exhausted or overwhelmed, but as soon as I saw a pair of baby tennis shoes those anxiety feelings are quickly replaced with feelings of excitement. Knowing that one day I will have a baby boy who would actually wear those shoes.
One day at the baby store, a women was looking for a present for a friend who was having a little boy. She noticed I was also looking at baby boy clothing. She asked me if I had a little boy. I then smiled and said no, but I will be soon.
