So Blessed 1.4.09

January 4, 2009

Well...

 

I don't remember what I wrote in the last entry, but anyhow... here's what's going on now.

 

We received the crib from a friend of mine yesterday.  We had a significantly larger amount of money in our checking than normal (I worked a lot of overtime over the holiday) and we decided to finish the nursery in anticipation of this little persons arrival. 

I went with a friend of mine (Tammie) to Menards and got chair rail (stained to match the crib and shelving that's already in the room) and paint (green--as we're doing an M&M themed nursery).  Today we put up half the chair rail and Eddie and I finished putting together the crib.  After everything was finished, and everyone had gone, I sat alone in the room trying to decipher where everything would go.

It was about that point where I realized that this truly is happening, again, I suppose.  I put together the mobile and attached it to the crib, and began playing the little song (lulluby and goodnight).  I just started to bawl... such raw emotions really.  The realization that after four years of "non-preventing"/ttc we are here--not the traditional way, but here, becoming and anticipating parenthood.  And... that in a few short months a little one will be laying in that bed, listening to that song, depending on me to care, love, and raise him/her.

Wow.

 

I said today to Tammie, as we walked into Menards complaining about different things in life--"You know, I'm aware that I'm very blessed... I have so much that I never expected and so much that I don't deserve.  God has been great to me, and I'm so very thankful for everything."

 

I feel so blessed... so excited... and so... much... unexplainable emotion fulfilled within my heart at just the idea of this little one coming into our home.

 

Wow.
