Nursery

Made a trip to Chapters last night just to browse, but we couldn't resist getting one or two more things for the nursery.  Got another really cute kids book (LOVE to read kids stories, just can't wait), and I mean look how awesome this onesie is!  Don't think anyone who has bought that there has thought about the wait as long as we have, so it obviously holds a strong meaning.

Some days the years of wait can be hard, and other days our hope seems a lot stronger than ever.  When we first bought our little home here we set up the entire nursery with such hope and optimism.  There have been days we have thought about taking it all down and emptying the room.  There have been times where I myself have to keep the door closed because I don't want to be reminded of the wait, or envision the little one in their room.

Lauren has always been good at lighting the lamp in the nursery as a reminder of hope, and to not give up.  More recently I've been making a conscious effort to sit in there and just read, or have a nap with the dogs, or think about what stories I'm going to read the little one.

This really feels like this is going to be the year, and that the next step is going to happen soon.  Can't wait for that phone to ring and it not be a wrong number or telemarketer.


Soon.
