The Wongs Adoption Journey

We are slowly getting Isabella's room ready. The dressing table and toy box/bench seat (picture) are ordered. And yesterday Terry put the shelves up in the loft conversion bedroom so we can start moving all the books and files out, and move our office completely upstairs. I also need to speak to our builder to come and make a wardrobe in the chimney breast alcove, but he is busy doing work a my FIL's house so it will be a while before he is free. In the mean time I can take the shelves out and fit a clothes rail so it only then needs to be boxed in.



But we plan for her to sleep with us for the first couple of months so there is lots of time. But slowly with the new curtains up, and books and toys on the shelves, and pictures up it feels like a child's bedroom! We also need to dump the single bed that's currently in there.

I read on RQ that to get pets used to a baby its a good idea to assemble the cot beforehand so they get used to it! However, it didn't mention how to deal with this! But he does a runner when he meets strangers, including children so will probably be scared of her! So it wont be a problem.



If we do get our ITT/TA in time to travel at the end of July we have just found out the cattery is full! Ooops, so we need to look at alternative pet care! I might be able to get my friend to cat sit for a week! Lots of grovelling and our next door neighbours will also feed them for a week so that might work out!
