sunday morning fog.
this weekend was lovely. we bought the baby's dressers and found a rug we're buying next week for the room. lee was a busy boy. he had a construction job saturday and a home inspection sunday. i'm so proud of him. we're making new changes on the side biz. he's also getting back into his construction/drywall/building roots. soon i will be taking a break from work and i plan on putting my time into mavco.
last night i made a roast with potatoes and carrots. then watched girls and drew barrymore on oprah. a lot of laughs with girls, a lot of tears with drew and oprah ~ so good. after that lee and i talked and talked about the baby, labor, thoughts on family, and our hopes and dreams for the future. what we want to instill in our child and what cycles we want to break. so much to think about, right? the thought of raising a human being is by far the hardest and scariest thing a person will do. yes, the most amazing and rewarding, but hello! you are in charge of a human life. the people who don't take that seriously freak me out. it really is a lot to wrap your head around, you know?
i'm starting a book for the baby today. not a baby book yet, but a diary of life and love letters that i will someday give to the little nugget. it's a big job that will last a lifetime i'm assuming, but i envision it being amazing. {i may share some on the blog eventually}
the other morning.
This post has me teary eyed...Taylor, you are going to be such a wonderful Mommy...I LOVE all your beautiful thoughts and I am so very proud of you (and..so proud of Lee)! This little baby is so blessed with awesome parents...it makes me so happy (:
ReplyDeleteI watched the Drew and Oprah show, too! I thought about you so many times during it! I love Drew and her honesty and "realness" in such a "fake" world she grew up in.
How lovely you are starting a book for the baby...what a gift!
I say prayers for you all everyday...and know God is smiling down on you two as responsible and loving and caring parents...I am so thrilled about this new baby...what a blessed gift that is going to be loved so very much!
I think back to a time when I was alone with you as a baby...and just staring at you in amazement....you were so very pretty and so happy...I remember thinking, "what will this little baby be like when she is all grown up"? You ARE one remarkable and beautiful soul and I love you so very much....Xoxo
Love those pictures, so pretty!!! Also love the idea of the letters/ journal for the baby! I can't wait to see the room when it is finished, it is going to be amazing! Gonna call you in a bit. XO
