So my last blog was all about questions and feeling overwhelmed, well not this one. Actually shortly after I posted the questions were gone and I was moving on. Friday I sat down to rearrange my cedar chest because the lid wouldn't quite close. I pulled everything out and began. I received a couple bags of little baby boy clothes from our friends many of the items we had gifted her boys. *Please don't rush off and start filling bags of clothes for me, we have limited space.* Anyhow, I decided to arrange them by size and had a fun time going through them. Dwayne came back from picking up dinner and said oh that would work for a girl and so would that. He LOVES clothes especially kids clothes. He's definitely the shopper of the family, which I love!! My Aunt Peggy was up last week and gave us our first official gift. She was working on a blanket before she left but didn't have time to finish it and is afraid she won't get it finished. I love the things she makes I still have a pillow she made me when I was a kid!! Anyhow, she gave us this oh so very soft blanket *I want it for myself, I'm a total blanket person. The softer the better!* and these adorable hooded towels. I was putting them in the cedar chest and it hit me. I'm going to have a baby and these items are for that baby!! The clothes are there and Dwayne and I had bought a couple outfits on sale that we just had to have for our someday baby, but it wasn't the same. I now have gifts for a baby that is...coming in December!! Well my gut says that "Cinnabun" will be here sometime at the end of November but just never know.
My cousin Mary Jo brought me a picture frame this week that says, "Loved from the start." So very appropriate. I was thinking about that this morning and realized that I could put a picture of myself or anyone for that matter in that frame. We are all loved from the very start by a loving, caring, compassionate, and strong God!! A thought I will carry with me all through this time.
Now to pull out some kids books and bible stories so dad-to-be can begin reading to Cinnabun! I'm going to love that! Let's get in routine now. ;)
Don't forget to weigh on the poll question to the right of the blog!!!
