While you were just a little coconut in my tummy mommy was stressing about all the things I needed to plan for your arrival.
I wish I could tell you I was a laid back calm person who didn't need the nursery completely set up, have clothes for multiple age groups, all the cloth diapers prepped (which was such a fun/intimidating purchase).
But no no, I couldn't just buy the things to get ready for you, I needed it all to be done by mommy so you knew how much I loved you.
Let me walk you through the nursery for a moment, We did not know that you were going to be a boy, in fact mom was almost positive you were a girl. So we decided to go with a woodlands theme, and I LOVE IT.
Mom hand painted birch trees onto your wall
She dragged a reluctant daddy out to the old cedar mill to p/u scraps to make you the coolest shelf. She even sanded and oiled it herself....though thank goodness daddy and grandpa dragged it upstairs and set it up for me.
She hand painted your fox photo, and cut out the tree art
And she even sat her giant preggo arse down on the concrete to hand sand and paint your basinette... (which you barely slept in)
If only that were it...but no mommy had to keep going. Sewing quilts and crocheting more blankets.
