Yesterday was a very exciting day for us. We put up a crib! I can't even explain in words how that simple task wrecked my heart in such great ways. I found myself imagining all the possibilities and relishing in the simple fact that soon a little one will sleep in that crib, make cooing noises, cry, fuss, giggle, babble, chat, and my little heart is all a flutter!
The reality of the circumstances behind why that little one will be lying in this crib gets my heart wrecked for a whole other reason. Abuse of some form will have taken place to remove this precious little one from their biological parent(s). My heart is heavy and we've already starting praying for the sweet child(ren) who will grace our home with their presence. Praying also for our hearts as a family as we deal with the ups and downs of the foster system...
I am tinkering in the "baby room" as we've donned it, buying cute bed sheets, baby books, blankets, and little things that make it feel ready for our new occupant(s). We are also setting up a twin bed, so that we'll have room for two kiddos if need be. I will post some pictures of our process. I think I have decided on a theme for the room, a forest friends theme. That way if it's little boys or little girls I can tinker with some things to make it more fitting for either. Our room is a spring green color, which I think is great, I can accent with brown and blue for boys and pink for girls. I am loving this new project.. my heart is anticipating all that is yet to come, but I am so thankful for the moments of getting it ready, watching my honey put up the crib was such a joy! Can't wait to welcome a little one or two home.
