A little preparation

The weather is still struggling to make up its mind as it switches back and forth between rainy and sunny days.  One day good and the next day bad.  Well yesterday was another rainy day and Kristin and I decided that we would make the most of our indoor time and assemble our new baby crib that had arrived.

We've been doing a little work lately in turning our home office into a baby room.  Kristin's parents recently paid a visit.  While here they brought up a rocking chair and helped cut a carpet remnant to fit the room.  The room was starting to take on some of the characteristics of our baby girl's future room.  It just seemed to be missing one key component... the crib!

So yesterday we enjoyed spending that hour getting on our knees and assembling the crib.  When finished we put on the new pink bed sheet and folded the new pink animal print quilt over one of the crib's railings.  Oh how pink will be an ever more prominent part of my life!

It has been fun to make these little preparations.  They help to remind me of the exciting days to come and suppose the challenges as well.  They help to make everything feel more real and have given Kristin and I some opportunities to share in our anticipation.  Three months now doesn't seem that far off!
