I know what you mean, Jarian. I am excited every single day. Whenever I stop and realize that a baby is coming soon, I get so happy!! My hubby and I are accepting 0-12month olds, so we put up our crib this week. That has really made it real for me. I kinda feel like I'm pregnant, too! We'll be licensed in 3 weeks, or so my SW says. 6 weeks until we can accept a placement. I can't wait!!
A good friend of mine is opening a home daycare, so I have to find out how payment works. My SW has not told me anything about reimbursement for daycare, and said I have to wait to find out that kind of info until after I am licensed. That makes no sense to me, since I need to start planning for a daycare NOW! sigh. Oh well.
