*A Time for Everything

"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven..." Ecclesiastes 3:1

So, is it time for me to prepare for the arrival of my little girl?
As I have searched other blogs, I've found many that post pictures of their future child's stuff - baby supplies, clothing, toys, bedroom, etc. Right now Liv's bedroom is also our sons, and that is how it's going to stay until some day we may be able to afford a bigger place. Koen's room is great though - it is pretty big, and we painted it light green and blue striped before he arrived. I'm not sure how to make it a little more girly, or if I need to for Liv. I'm also not sure what to do about crib bedding. I love the froggy set I have for Koen, and it is lt. green and lt. blue as well. I thought that if I add a splash of pink or something that it would work, but I do want my little girl to have the cute little bed of a little girl. I might have to make something. I was also thinking of perhaps painting over the blue stripes on the wall with brown stripes, and have a green and brown room. Doesn't sound pretty, but I think it would look nice.

The Nursery - Koen and Liv's room, not usually this clean but this is the picture we took for our paperwork (The blue isn't really this bright in normal light).

It's hard to know when we should be physically preparing for her arrival. Realistically the soonest the agency has said we could have her if all moves as predicted would be about a year from now, and the longest it could take (according to their current time-line) is June of 2009, which is very, very far away! However, like I said before, there is a little hope in my heart that God will surprise us and she could come home sooner. And if so, I want to be ready.

There is a great second hand kid's clothing store near me that has a major sale once a month, where I can get lots of things for super cheap. Here's a few of my finds that I hope Liv can use and enjoy:
