You don't seem very happy in there today. Or else my tummy isn't very happy to be growing so quickly. I've been crampy since the middle of the night last night, which is kind of unpleasant. I think you've changed your position and that's causing stretching or something. I felt what I thought was one of your body parts in a new area of my stomach last night, so that's probably why!

I primed your toybox and finished part of your changing table last night. When I was going through things in your room to weed out the junk from the must-keep stuff, I found my bag of baby clothes. Well, the bag is half baby clothes and half doll clothes (specifically for a Cabbage Patch dall named Loni which you will undoubtedly inherit). When I was a little girl, I'd stumbled across my own baby girl clothes and I used some of them as doll clothes. Some of them weren't used, and were in a separate smaller bag labeled "Mom Kerry baby clothes 1950" - What does that mean to me? It means my mom dressed me in the baby clothes she inherited from her own childhood! And it means I get to dress YOU in the clothes both your mommy and your grandmother wore! As a little girl, this won't mean much to you, but it means so much to me. And someday you will appreciate it too. They're quite well-made though some are a little faded. With some TLC, they might last for you to use on your own little girl someday!

Anyway, tonight I'm hoping to finish painting your toybox and work on the 2nd half of your changing table. Tomorrow morning, daddy and I are setting off to get your crib, which we will assemble, and hang your curtains then too. I can't wait! It's already turning into a room I simply enjoy being in. I'm really glad!
