MCC submitted

We submitted our MCC, last night.  Haven't heard anything on our application, yet, but I don't expect to hear until more toward the end of this week.

A couple weekends ago, I went into major nesting mode.  How could it happen this early?!  Our daughters agreed that they wanted to go back to sharing a room, which gives us 1 empty bedroom.  Hm...  ;)  So I spent 3 straight days (helped by snow days) moving Rebecca into Caetlyn's room.  It was a lot of work but felt sooooo good!  The only things left in Rebecca's old room are her furniture, some summer clothes and 1 drawer of Build-a-Bear clothes.  Now I'm trying to decide whether or not to move Nathan into Rebecca's old room.  It's bigger and I foresee his sharing that room with a younger brother someday- maybe not right away, but eventually.  Nathan's room is tiny and it would make more sense to use that room for the baby furniture, if needed.  It's hard to plan when you don't know what age child you will be bringing home.  Ideally, Nathan and Little Brother would share Rebecca's old room and Nathan's room would be turned into a guest bedroom.  We're also open to sharing Mom & Dad's room with Little Brother. :)

Now on to my reading list!  I'm constantly on the lookout for adoption/China book recommendations.  I am devouring them!  Please share any recommendations!

I know this is kind of an old post, but I went through the obsessive reading on China phase too! I have a blog post where I compiled all of my favorite China resources: http://mineinchina.wordpress.com/2014/07/02/china-101/
