leap of faith
As part of my goal of believing that this pregnancy will have a happy outcome, I let my parents help me set up some things in our guest room/baby room this weekend. I was ok with all of the preparations while they were here, because they were enjoying it and who doesn't love baby stuff? It was only a little sad for me at the time to unpack some of Kayla's things, because I had already looked through them on my own and cried over all the things she never got to use. Once they left to go back home, and I had a moment to catch my breath and collect my thoughts, I got very sad and very nervous. What if I set up all of this stuff and have to come home with no baby again? I hate even thinking that. But, I'm doing ok. I still did it. We have a space for the baby!

I'm proud of you, Rachel! I know that had to be SO difficult and emotional. I truly believe sweet baby girl WILL come home and get to use all the things you had for Kayla, and now her. Praying for you! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful Rachel! I am so envious of your courage. I'm proud of you for taking such a huge step. I still can't even bring myself to buy a hospital outfit for the new baby. You will bring this baby home. Sending you love. xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And very brave of you, too. I'm trying to do the same...HUGE leap of faith, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteCute nursery! I think it's wonderful that you were able to get Kayla's little sister's room ready. She deserves it even though I understand how hard it is. It's just too hard to believe things will really work out after what we have been through. Can't wait to see pictures of your second baby girl in this sweet room :)
ReplyDeleteThe room looks fantastic! I am so proud and hopeful and happy for you and also can't wait to see Kayla's sister in this sweet, sweet room! xoxo
