Back to the New Normal

As 2014 came to a close and le hubs and I were snuggled in bed at 12:04 am, it dawned on me. This was the last NYE with no baby, the last Christmas where the gifts are mostly for us and the last few months of our only babies being covered in fur.

I went shopping with my mom Friday and she pointed out the great sales on baby clothes for next winter and I oh'd and ah'd over tiny baby jeans and Christmas dresses and as le husband and I hung those tiny things in the closet we had a strange realization that our new normal was closer than it seemed.

We have put together the crib and baby bedding is arriving. We assembled the stroller and let Sophie be the "test" baby.

We have talked daycare and diapers, and have begun planning for a move to a bigger house with more room for Evie. It seems so strange, yet so good at the same time. Yet, a year ago, my mind was far from babies and houses and closer to just falling madly in love with le guy.

Yes, le guy. The man of my dreams. For now, I will cherish the moments we have together, just the two of us. Because soon, the new normal will include tiny hands and tiny feet and nights spent watching Homeland will be replaced with fairytales and falling exhausted into bed. But for now, I will continue to just be head over heels for my love. And prepare for the Ohio state fan invasion that is happening in our house this weekend. Yes the bro and sis in law and the BOFF will be in town to cheer on the Buckeyes as they take on Oregon! Party in the Fort!
