A Few Girly Things

Kind of a scary picture to 'open' with, but I couldn't help myself.  

I don't know what it is about having babies, but, I can't seem to get into the whole 'clothes buying' thing until just before delivery.  Maybe I am superstitious.  Or in denial.  It's kind of an unsettling anticipation.  Exciting, but, unsettling.  Can I do this again?  Have I really thought about the significance of bringing another human being into the world enough?  What do I do with a girl?  Etc. Etc.

That said!  I got a package in the mail.  (Have I ever expressed how much much I really love packages?!  Regardless of whether I paid for it or not, I LOVE it.  It's like Christmas every time).

Anyway!

I finally decided it was time to get some girl clothes.  (Or maybe because there was a big sale).  Maybe that is another reason why I hesitated.  I think I'm a little afraid to jump in on the whole 'I'm having a girl' action.  Maybe I'm afraid I'll go crazy with it.  Maybe I'm afraid of coming off as one of those mothers that buys her daughter 'Princess' themed nonsense.  

But I digress.  Again.

I laid out all the clothes on the bed.  What a sobering sight.  (And a little bit giddy).  I am determined to embrace femininity gracefully!!  

And I saw this the other day and decided she must have one.  Or ten.

I even cleared out a space in our already-too-small-to-be-comfortable room, for the cradle.  Ah!!!  

Still not sure where I'm going to put the laundry basket.

'The Man's' aunt from back home put together a list of Chinese names for us to pick from as well.  We're getting closer to 'The Little Lady' having some form of identification.  Sweet!

That's all for now!
