A little bit at a time

A little bit at a time, Samantha's nursery is coming together.  The crib is up, the dresser is full of little clothes, diapers, wipes and blankets.  The bookshelf is up and is quickly filling with wholesome books to read to our little one.  Decorations are on the walls, with just a few remaining to put up.  The rocker is situated in a good corner, complete with the new pillow covers with the purple ruffles, made lovingly by Grandmama.

On top of the hutch sit the various blankets and quilts that have been made by friends and family.  There's the lavender and plaid one from Alyssa, the two crocheted ones from Laura, the pink snuggly one from Mrs. Russell, the fluffy white and purple one from Jen, and the handmade patchwork quilt from Becky.  Each one made with love and care, by people so dear to my heart.

There's so much love in this room already.  I am overwhelmed every time I come in here.  Today, I sit quietly in the rocker, just looking around at the room that we have prepared for our daughter.  I sit in awe and disbelief that in a month or less our child will be here.  The room will be filled with baby smells, baby sounds.  I will sit in this rocker and feed my child-- this so-longed-for precious little girl. I grow more and more grateful every day and can't wait to meet our little Samantha!
