I melted

[ComfyCozy]

I struggled for SO LONG with the awkward timing of this pregnancy, and how I didn't want to be pregnant now, feeling overwhelmed, etc etc...

It had gotten better by the time six months had passed, and I think I had the epiphany moment this afternoon. I was putting together the baby's pack-n-play and I turned on the mobile. When the music started to play and the little animals began going in a circle it just hit me how wonderful it was all going to be again, and how a little wiggly baby would be under that mobile soon, making all her wiggly baby noises, and her wiggly baby smells... And then I folded the newborn clothes I washed yesterday. I've had five of these already-- why do I always forget how small they really are when they're born?

Now I'm just a sap. A sap with about six weeks to go.

I had my own melty moment when we got out our mobile too! I remembered sitting in the rocker watching it go around when I was pregnant with Dylan, and how happy it made me. I love just sitting in the baby's room, looking around at all the little baby things. I go in there to tidy and arrange things all the time, just for the baby-related activity. My husband thinks I'm a little loopy. Maybe I am. Oh well!

I'm not even close to ready for this little girl as far as clothes. EVERYTHING we have is just so boy and I can't bring myself to just say it's good enough. Finances have been tight, but promising (as in DH is promising that when this next batch of invoices come in I can shop to my heart's content) I have been pecking away at sewing a little dress, my mom gave me a few things but really, I am ill equipped. So the other day, I had a little left over out of the grocery budget and bought a pack of brown and orange onesies. OMG, I am just thrilled!!! While I am not opposed to pink, I just love doing frilly femenine things in "off" colors. They are so little. She's not going to be my big bruiser boy, she's going to be a tiny girl.

Aww...!

I really have not yet had a melty moment. Why? Not when folding clothes.. nothing.

Oh wait! I did have one small melty moment. I found a teddy bear in overalls that I'd had all three boys pictured with wearing matching overalls when they were around 9 months. I am hoping those overalls are in the keepsake box (because everything else I gave away or sold!) so i can get this baby's pics done the same way.

Sniff. It's so nice to read about other people's melty moments. And Gina - I really hope you have the overalls - such a great idea!

I haven't really had one yet either, although when I helped DD put the tiny NB cloth dipe with the suns and stars on her Winnie-the-Pooh bear the other day I got a bit melty.

I have had my melted moment a few days ago when I started having a few contrax. This baby is so unplanned and really already screwed us financially and set us back a few years, I haven't been able to connect as much as with my other babies while pregnant. Until now when I realized he could come out any day now, I am 38.5 wks. And I started thinking of overwhelming those first few minutes were with my other two, best moments of my life so far and I am about to feel all those emotions again and how Lucky I am and how this is meant to be.
I do have to say tho I trusted my hormones to do the right thing and let me be at peace with it all and look forward to this babe in time for him to be born. No way my mother's instinct and love could screwed me over and desert me...

Ok, now baby, come out!
