Hi Michele! I agree that the wait is horrendous! I purposefully did not start making a nursery until we got our LID (12/29). I knew I would slowly go insane "patiently" waiting. I went and registered at Babies R Us and Target, which was EXTREMELY fun. That could take several days if you register for enough stuff. I registered for about 15 pages worth because my husband and I both come from huge families and they have been chomping at the bit wanting to buy things. I window shopped for clothes a lot. I have bought a few things to put in her closet but not a lot because I don't know how big she will be. I am waiting for the bio information. Finally I started putting her nursery together. I found that doing small things on a weekly basis has helped to keep me sane and it has also made me feel closer to baby Mira (that I don't have yet!). In a way, its like being pregnant and doing all the preparations is sort of cathartic. Another thing that has helped a lot lately is reading all of these posts on this site and reading about others in the same boat as us. My husband and I should be getting our photo and referral information next week so our long wait is almost over. I hope yours goes quickly and I hope I have given you some ideas.
