Today I spent a few hours shopping with two good friends. I am learning there is so much stuff for little girls! I have always enjoyed buying things here and there for a little girl, but to plan on a one in my house?!? Whole other story! There are so many times when I'm looking and trying to decide on what to get, which size and how much to spend that I just want to run out the door screaming. I remember being overwhelmed when Alex was due. I remember having to start from scratch in deciding all baby stuff. Quite frankly, I think that was less stressful than just trying to decide one little girl's wardrobe. Tights. Headbands. Barrettes. Dresses. Gowns. Light pink. Dark pink. Hot pink. Orange pink. It's enough to drive anyone crazy.
I am so grateful to my friends who are helping me through this. With their advice, support, and just calming presence they bless me and help keep me sane. I'm sure I'm driving them crazy with my topic jumping, over-doing, and just plain hysteria but they come across as bearing it well.
While part of me can't wait to see my little girl, Katherine Grace aka Katie, another part of me is very thankful that I have a few months before that happens. Hopefully, by the time Katie arrives I'll have everything straight and ready..at least for the first few months!
