for adoption, Attila the Hub wants me to look into getting a crib or bassinette and a basic layette, since placement can take anywhere from . . . ten minutes to ten years.

(What we're being told is a year or two, but our profile is pretty desirable. And sometimes kids fall into the agency's lap rather suddenly, so my husband's correct: we should be prepared.)

If you hear about an unplanned pregnancy in your community, let me know. And if you hear about any good deals on cribs in Southern California, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Terrified right now. Just so you know.

1 yay! for finally getting through the whole process to the REALLY hard part As for cribs etc. There are only about a billion kids resale shops in and around our area. Worth a look. And the Rose Bowl Flea Market usually has a few nice ones for a reasonable price.... What about a car seat? You probably want to pick up one of those too if you don't already have one, since if you have to go pick the baby up, you'll need one to get him/her/them home

6 Congratulations! Parenthood is terrifying, but don't let that stop you from being deliriously happy, too!
