You know how, thanks to the nesting phase of pregnancy, the nursery is usually all cutsie and put together before the baby is born? Or at least dreamed about. Yeah, that did NOT happen for us.
Two months before my baby was born I was still praying fervently for us to find a better, cleaner, safer place to live. We closed on that house 8 days before I was to be induced.
So all that time nesting I focused on purging all the excess rather than getting what I needed for the baby. In fact, when he was born we did not even have a bed for him, just a rock and play. I think we got the crib 2.5 weeks later.
It’s been two month now and this week is the first his room has even resembled a bedroom. He gets the privilege of sharing his room with our “office” so up to this point it has been full of boxes we didn’t get around to unpacking and SO MANY PAPERS that had no home. As well as stuff we shoved in there actually for him.
Last night we moved his crib in there (more so my annoying cough would stop waking him up than anything), and it feels so happy to me! He has a space now! We still have some work to do, but that one step made me smile.
It is surprising to me what things can bring happiness, they truly are the little things!
