waiting... to be waiting

So we are waiting to be waiting lol. Don't know how else to say it. We have been waiting to be waiting for six months and it just feels like forever, which is depressing because I'm sure our actual wait will be longer than that. I worry about our to handle the real wait, because I won't have a step by step process that we have had while we were waiting to wait. Dear Lord, please give me patience.

We have baby furniture up and in our nursery!!!! It makes me so excited. But then I get sad about being excited because of the wait. haha. It is def. a hard balance to find between being excited and hopeful and trying to keep in check with reality and realistic wait times. I am constantly telling everyone the average wait is 1.5-3 years, but really I keep telling people hoping it will sink into my head. I have lately been having trouble holding back from buying clothes and such. haha. I did buy one onsie (just one) and that has satisfied me for now. Hopefully it will for a long time so I don't just go out and splurge. However when we bought our furniture we got a gift card with it, making it a little harder to resist lol.

Here a few pictures of the start of the nursery. I'm ready to start making it cute.

Here is what I got with my gift card.. Couldn't resist
