B (the hubby) suggested that I start writing in a journal to help me deal with the emotions and pain of our not so easy journey to build our family. It took me 2 years to listen to him, but I finally did... So, here's my journal. Simply my space to get out what is inside of my head, as I try to live peacefully in the present moment, while awaiting our child, wherever he/she is coming from...
"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. "

If You Build It, They Will Come
I started a new page, entitled "Nursery Design" as a place to collect ideas for my future baby's room. My intent is to use it as a space to place pictures of ideas and links to design web sites that I find. I did this for my wedding in paper form, a book of cut outs from magazines of dresses, hair, makeup... And thought, why shouldn't I start doing this for my baby room? Just because I'm not a mom yet, doesn't mean that I can't look, right? And maybe those moments of dreaming will be just another message to my future child of how much we want them with us. So, forthcoming... Nursery Design Page... stay tuned.

I love that idea! I started planning my wedding well before I was engaged. In fact, my friends assisted, so there's nothing wrong with just getting your nursery vision ready! Can't wait to see the page.

That really is a neat idea! I daydream about baby stuff but don't have the courage to really research it. Maybe you'll inspire me!
ReplyDeleteWe are soooo on the same page!! DH and I just cleaned up our second bedroom (which has become a dumping ground for extra crap) and I asked him to imagine what baby furniture we'd have in the room!! I also have a friend who is an incredible artist that I have already talked about him painting murals on the walls!
ReplyDeleteI like it girl, I like it a lot and I can't wait to see your ideas :)
Hang in there... we will get there!

Great idea!!! I love it. I have some pics saved on my computer. This inspires me to maybe create a page like this as well!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to make a separate page for the ideas :) I just alway tack them onto my main page, probably bc I don't know how to make a 2nd page link to my page...haha. Can't wait to see your style!
ReplyDeleteOh man...do I have some websites for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh so cool girl!!! It reminds me of another blogger who said she was shifting her attitude from "if" to "when" and started looking at pics online of baby rooms, etc. (I will track that blog down).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and why not because you will become a mom, soon. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhy not? You will be a mother some day. Hopefully sooner than later. Dreaming is the stuff life is made up of.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have the courage to do the same, though I really want to!
Can't wait to see all your ideas :)
Neat idea! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteOooh, we can discuss rooms and ideas on Ohdeedoh. I think this is a great idea. I had a computer file of ideas for ages before we had T.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic idea, I must say!
