As you all know, we had our home visit this morning...and it was great! I put out some lovely cookies (E didn't have any, but I wanted to have them just in case) and I made coffee and tea, but she had a glass of ice water instead. They usually don't eat or drink anything, it probably has something to do with it possibly being construed as bribery or something.

Anyway, she got here ten minutes early...met us and met Lucy, who was even more well-behaved than usual, and then we gave her a tour of the house. She liked the nursery - she said the color was great - she even looked in the garage (thank god we cleaned it!) and then we sat down to talk. It was just getting to know you kind of talk...we discussed what medical issues we would be willing to consider, and then we paid the next installment and we were done! It took less than an hour! After she left, Jeremy and I went out to lunch and then went to buy some dog treats. It was almost anti-climactic that it was so short! I wanted to fling open my closets and show her the organization...but I restrained myself :)

I am so glad we're done, it is such a relief! As soon as we get our profile in, we're good to go...and it should be ready to print this week.

Here are some pictures of the nursery, which is finished...enjoy!

The Serta sheep from Mindy - they are perfect for the room!

I love the color of the room too... do you mind telling me what it is? I was hoping to do our kiddos room blue w/white trim as well.

Congratulations on everything going so well today! I know it's a big sigh of relief to have that homestudy done!

Looks awesome, Joy! :) It'll look even better with a crib & a baby in there!
