Countdown to babyhood, the dumpling that will arrive any time in the next two weeks. I do not know how I feel as it seems a bit surreal that is until I see Chelsea's growing belly. Chelsea has been the model of pregnant women: Hasn't been sick at all, started her maternity leave, feels good and has only gained about 15 pounds. Gee, I could gain that in a week.
The countdown finding a name.
Setting up a nursery:
Bassinet, blankets, diapers, potions, and a comfortable chair.
A mobile above the bed.
Eventually, sometime after breastfeeding a silver spoon and a fork.
A pin like this to hold down a baby's bib.
All the photos are things I have sold over the years.
I guess I have had a baby on my mind for some time.
A napkin ring… I haven't seen one like this in a long time.
These little shoes enjoyed being the host to someone who was learning to walk.
A rattle.
Before sippy cups.
These sorts of medallions with rings at the top were to hang in the bassinet.
I am going to have fun dressing up this baby.
Dressing up and playing!
Why not pretty labels attached to the basket of baby clothes?
Maybe I should learn to paint, or draw?
Happy days ahead. The countdown to another beautiful relationship, you have been waiting to come for a very long time in you will be formed with some of the cells of those we have loved great grandparents, grandparents, parents… and now you.
I long to kiss your forehead and look into your eyes.
