Nursery

The nursery is painted, we did that in September, 2 cribs are put together and in position, curtains are created, thanks Mom!, and hung, recliner is in place ready for some late night baby feeding and rocking, dresser and bookshelf are in place...

The only piece of furniture missing is a changing table.  We'll hopefully have that soon.  And crib mattresses...again, we'll have those soon.

We have under 10 weeks to go!

Say what?

I've been thinking about this journey to parenthood and all of it's emotions...

And what is standing out the most to us is just how surreal it still feels.  I'm assuming it will feel that way until they are 5!

I sat in the nursery for a while this morning, talking to Joel who was across the hall in the office, and asking if it feels real yet...

No, he said.  I agreed.

We feel them move, we see them move, we watched as our family came this weekend and moved furniture, put in new windows, painted a kitchen wall red (that looks super cool, thanks Michelle), created cool things and did so much to help us get ready for these little girls...

And it still feels surreal.  "We're bringing 2 new little people to live here with us," I say to Joel.  "Can you believe it?"!

"No".  Me neither.  Maybe it's the fear that I still have at times, maybe it's the lingering we never thought this would happen to us...

But I'm growing, they are growing...and ready or not they are coming!  Sooner rather than later!  Yahoo!  We'll go take a look at them on Wednesday to make sure everything is still on track and babies and myself are still doing well!  One step at a time.
