For me, it was an ebb and flow thing... somedays/weeks I could believe that it would happen. Other times, I put all the stuff in the room designated "the baby's room" and shut the door. It was all a part of the process of being a Mom becoming a reality.

But my oh my, when we were finally matched was I ever glad I planned ahead a little bit. We got the call on a Friday, met Bug's first mom on the next Tuesday and Bug was born about 48 hours later, and home with us a week to the hour from the phone call. I'm not sure if I have had time to read since (except these boards of course!!!). Oh yeah, there are the middle of the nights when she wouldn't sleep and I am desperately reading a "how to help your child sleep" book.

All that to say, do it on your own time, but do it. The first time I went into Babies R Us I did it in another town, where I didn't know anyone. I just walked around and dreamed about the possibility of being a Mommy. I did at one point, find a corner and cry, but it was therapeutic.
