What's in a Name?

One of the most frequent questions Caleb and I get asked is "Do we have a name picked out?" Should we already know what we want to name our child? The only thing we have talked about is possibly keeping the given birth name as the first or middle name of our child. Being that we do not know what that is at this point we really do not even think about names. Most biological parents have a few names in mind or have had a name that they have always wanted to name his or her child. Once they see their baby they know if the name they have been thinking of fits. We don't know what our child will look like or have any clue what to name our child. For now, no name = no problem for us.

We get asked random questions quite often. Some of them catch me pretty off guard. I do not mind answering anything about our adoption process. Similar to the name question there are a lot of things that we really have not thought about. Why? Some questions depend on how old our child will be by the time we get him in our arms. Once we actually know details of who he is we will be able to really start answering some of these questions.

Our newest purchase

Caleb's sister sent him a text, she said she had her daughter's old car seat that we can have if we want it. She mentioned that Babies R Us was doing a trade in promo. If you take in an old stroller, car seat, anything really they will give you a voucher for 25% off a single item. The item had to be a stroller, car seat, crib, high chair or a pack-n-play. Since really the only things we can buy at this point are big items this was going to be great. We went and picked up the old car seat last Sunday evening. Since we had Monday off we ran to Babies R Us. We traded in the old and walked away with something new. This is what we got.....
