Happy New Year

I can’t believe it. This is the year we are going to have a baby. We are going to become a family instead of a couple. There will no longer be just two of us (plus the cat) in our house. Nothing will be the same again.

Sometimes this really freaks me out, but right now I am just excited. We have gotten enough work done on the nursery that I am no longer worried about that- but also not ready to post pictures! We finally got the painting finished. It was a horrible project, but it’s done. The “really pale lavender” of course turned out much darker once we had it all over the room, but the good news is that it matches the bedding really well. Instead of being a lot lighter than the bedding, it is almost the same color or maybe just a touch lighter. But I think it will be nice.

I have thought a lot about our ages for some reason. I am 26 and Jonathon just turned 31. I think those are okay ages to have a baby. I always imagined that I would get married at 24 and have my first baby at 26– don’t know why but just one of those funny things.

We have also chosen a name for the baby- both first and middle name are final now. We announced it to our families this past week. I wanted to hurry and decide on the middle name (we’ve had a first name for a while) so that we could tell my parents on Christmas. I am going to wait to post it on my blog until we make sure that we have told other people that “should hear it in person” first. It’s really nice to be able to use her name now instead of just calling her “the baby” all the time. And it makes it seem more real.
