Beauty For Ashes...

"...beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:3

Help Wanted...


All you Mama's out there.  Chris and I need some help.  We are trying to come up with a list of "stuff" we need to bring back with us in May from the US.  We are having a bit of trouble.  The deal is- when we come home and gather this "stuff" we still won't know the age or sex or the children- we don't think.  The only thing I feel sure about is that we will have a boy.  I'm trying to come up with some "essentials" but here is what we have so far:

  • Car seat(s)- but we will buy them here.
  • stroller  (not a necessity, i know- but it would be nice for walks, park, and shopping)- ridiculous and expensive here. 
  • clothe diapers (the cheapest way to diaper here)
  • Cerave Lotion and soaps (Lindy's special lotion -the only stuff I can use due to my allergy)
  • UNC outfits/ apparel (CT says this IS an essential item)
I know the list isn't a very good one... but i really just don't know.  Some stuff I can get here probably. 
Does any body have any more suggestions for "essentials" to bring back for the child(ren)?  We could use it!  I have my pen and paper ready.

  1. When you guys get home at the end of April, I will still be at UNC. I'll be here until May 2nd.. And so, I can hook you up with UNC stuff! Or, better yet, you can come hang out with me, and we can shop at the same time! I know. I'm a genius. :)

  2. Oh Lindy, I am so excited for you!! I hope to be able to do clothe diapers with my future baby(s) too. I have diaper pins if you need some-lol!
    Is it inappropriate to ask the mommy-to-be, if a (baby) shower would be a nice gesture? I am pretty sure that it does not matters in the least, to any of us back here, that the pregnancy has taken place on paper!
    We are just as excited to be welcoming your new little ones into the RFBC Family!
    Let me know what you think!?!
    As far as suggestions, I personally loved the baby gas drops(Walmart Brand) and baby orajel. Never be caught without meds for the little ones!
    QUESTION:What is the time frame you are working with as far as the adoptions go?

  3. BRP or BPR?!? I don't know Lindy, is that something I wrote somewhere? If so, that is pretty sad that I don't know what it means, huh! Give me a hint, and I can figure it out a little easier!

    I figured someone had to have asked you about having a shower of some sort. I think that there are certain things that all little ones will need at some point, plus, there are several items that come in neutral colors for both/either gender.
    It use to be that the mint-ish green and yellow were the choice colors, but now, there is so many more options available!

    I am so excited just thinking about your little ones! I can not wait until the time comes when we get to see pictures of them!!

    Thank you for your reply on my blog. It meant a lot to me and made me cry! You and I do not KNOW know each other, but I feel like we do-lol! I am honored to know you and Chris, even if it was through a blog-lol.

    Have a GREAT weekend!
