On Nesting

I know these pictures are totally cliche, but I feel as though it's a sort of right of passage when you have a baby.

Besides, so what if it's cliche.   I lapped up the sight of my man putting together our baby's crib the same way millions of women have before me.

               And although I did find ways to make myself useful during the process....

                                                    ....in reality, I was about as helpful as the dog.

We complained dragging the box up the stairs, struggled to contain the explosion of packing styrofoam in the process and procrastinated cleaning up the mess afterwards.

Seeing it all set up as the finished product just as lovely as the floor model we'd seen in the store, it hit me all over again - we are having a baby.
