There's Gonna Be a BABY Soon!

Somehow putting the crib together made Lucy's existence so much more real to me.  The sense of relief I felt after it was assembled was strange to me, because she won't even be sleeping in this crib at first--she'll be in the cradle in our bedroom for the first couple months.

 


But I think the crib serves as a visible, tangible landmark for my mind to settle on... something solid that reminds me a real baby will be here soon.  I like seeing it in there.  And I love that Daniel goes in there almost every night to look at it.



There's nothing else in the room yet, and I'm working on what to do for closet storage and what to put on the walls.  But for now, I'm just happy the furniture's in there*.

*The chair will be arriving some time in the next 6 weeks - so excited!!
