Ellen had her ultrasound this morning and it’s a boy! I’m so excited for her. She called me all bubbly<\/span> and obviously smiling as she shared the “healthy boy” news. And it was cool to hear her joy as she shared that Ron and she had a conversation in which they both marveled at having “children” not just child. The concept really made me smile and has brightened my day completely. I’m so happy for them.<\/p>\n

Saturday I drove to Guitar Center to pick up some strings. And as I looked in the rear-view mirror the thought hit my mind in a more solid form than before, “I’m going to be running errands with a little person in the backseat soon.” I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. I can’t tell you how wonderful of a thought it was to think of a little sleeping one in the backseat as being “my baby” and not just a niece or friend’s kiddo. Oh they’re just<\/span> as cute sleeping in the backseat, but “my baby” thoughts fluttered in my mind.<\/p>\n

Well, friends, the nursery is done. Robin and I started and finished it last night. That’s right, it’s simple and totally us (that is Matt and I, not Robin and I us). Touches of blue (cause I love the color and so does Matt) and beautiful little painted on butterflies, bees and flowers. With a touch of ivy leaves and classic Winnie the Pooh wallpaper pieces, it’s a warm little room of simplistic welcoming. And the bassinet\/cradle Mom gave us adds this wonderful feel of new and comfort to the room. I absolutely love it. I absolutely love it. And I spent a little while last night just rocking away in the rocking chair Jes<\/span> and I had the privilege<\/span> of teething on and sleeping in. I gazed<\/span> at the newly stamped walls and the sparkles of the blue glittered lava<\/span> lamp on the wall… it was better than I had imagined. Simply wonderful.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait for Matt to get home and see it. I hope he’s as pleasantly surprised as I was… and still am.<\/p>\n

July 28th’s<\/span> our ultrasound. And I’m looking forward to “seeing” our little one for the first time.
The little fingers… the little toes… that’s just going to be fun!<\/p>\n
