What to do While Waiting for Wee One

Soon after embarking on this adoption journey, Brian and I were informed that current BCS adoptive families are averaging a two year wait. 

[Reality struck.]

That is a long (long, long, looong) time. 

I knew one thing for sure, two years is too much thinkin' time. 

Turns out, there's no way around it so here we sit, waiting.

I tried educating myself, but I grew tired of informative reading.

I clung to other's "success stories," but I still had no baby of my own.

I'm taking a break from the books, the stories, and the advice.

My new take on what to do while waiting for Wee One: 

~ decorating the nursery ~

Here's a glimpse into my take on sassy/studly gender neutral nursery decor, minus the bland and with an extra measure of BAM!

The Primary Palette:

Burnt Orange & Turquoise

Accent:

Mustard

The neutrals: 

(so that Baby can manage to catch some shut-eye, despite the not-so-quiet above.)

Light Gray

Cream

maybe even some Brown...

(because I never can seem to avoid it.)

Here you have it, Peops!

A bit of leopard, damask, a touch of whimsy and of course, peacock.

Baby Come Quick! 

The longer you make me wait, the busier your little room is going to become...
