I'm ready!! With DD, I was able to pick out my very own, brand new rocking chair. I finally settled on one from Baby R Us. So expensive, but absolutely worth it!! I rocked in it just weeks before I had DD and loved every moment! I would imagine DD in my arms while I sang to her, fed her, and burped her. When the time came, feeding her was absolutely wonderful!! I loved that chair and the memories I have of the months I probably spent in it.
Anyway, today was the first time I sat in my old rocking chair since feeding DD years ago. It feels like such a big deal to me! I think it's because I'm finally feeling DS move a bit more (placenta is anterior, so I don't feel as much as I would if it was posterior). We moved the rocking chair to my new feeding spot, and it feels like I'm ready! We don't have a nursery set up yet, or any baby items, but because I have my feeding spot all set up, it now feels like the baby can come.
I am so happy I'm pregnant, and I can enjoy this miracle! Now I'd better get busy with the rest of the preparations. We did this with DD too. We certainly didn't plan it that way, but we had to wait until just months prior to delivery in order to purchase baby items. We don't use credit cards, so we carefully budgeted as the time came. This time around, I'm far more patient and less picky. I'm sure I'd be a bit more energetic if I had a baby nursery just waiting to be decorated and filled with blue (just moved and don't have room for a nursery yet). Instead, I'll just settle for a new blue cover on my favorite rocking chair.
