Well, if you read my previous posts, you wll see that I have started cleaning out Kaiden's room. I hopefully will have everything cleaned out of there by this Friday night. That means that next weekend, we will commence with the painting of the room. So since we now have a timeline for when the room will be cleaned out, we have started purchasing the furniture for his room. We picked up the crib last night and instead of a changing table, I got a bookcase. I wanted to have somewhere to store odds and ends as well as books. The only thing we have left to purchase is a dresser. We are really trying to find something that will last for a long time, so we have been out shopping at furniture stores. Hopefully, we will have something picked out in the next 2 weeks.
In the meantime check out the crib. It is simple but we felt like it would be more manly looking than the original one I had picked out.
So anyway, I think we had our first reality moment on Thursday while shopping for the furniture. It really dawned on me while we were actually buying furniture that we have a little boy that will (hopefully) be ours in a few months. I have been waiting for this moment for 10 years, but it feels like everything just attacked me at once. I had my little personal panic attacks just thinking about everything that needs to be done. We feel like we have been blessed beyond reason to receive a referral months earlier than we expected. We also feel that he is ours for a reason. I am going crazy trying to pick out little things to buy. Things keep going through my head like, "well he might not like that kind," "what if I buy him the wrong diapers," and all other little "what if" questions. I have talked to many people and they all say this is common in first time parents, but I want everything to be wonderful for him when he gets here. Aaron just keeps telling me that he is the luckiest child in the world. He will have the most loving parents and grandparents in the world. That we already care beyond reason for him and that is the most important thing he will need. (I really love my husband!!) Of course, he is always right, so maybe I just need to calm it down and go with the flow. I am definitely going to start working on that!!
