I took a big step today. Well, it was a big step for me, anyway.
I washed some of the baby stuff.
Sheets, a mattress pad, and lots of clothes.
I had to take the tags off first.
Let me repeat that, because it seems so small written up there on the screen.
I took the tags off baby clothes, and I washed them.
I've avoided that very thing this entire pregnancy, because it feels like tempting fate.
With less than six weeks to go, I figure the fate I'm tempting would be for her to come early, and me to have no washed sheets for her to sleep on.
Deep breath.

Oh Julie! That is a huge step! It stinks the amount of excitement and innocence IF steals from us. Can't wait to meet Miss Cate!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Julie! :)
ReplyDeleteawesomeness!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay!! And I like your view on tempting fate...yes, leaving clothes/bedding unwashed may just be tempting her to come early and find you unprepared! With only 6 weeks left I'd say it's a good time to get ready :).
ReplyDeleteThat's a big step. But a good one. :)
ReplyDeleteJulie ~ When I read your post today it took me back to nearly 5 years ago with a certain little girl....I remember the day that I decided okay God I trust you walked straight in the house and took all of the tags off of Faiths things! I just held my breath and ripped them off! Then I was like oh crap what did I do?? From that moment on I decided that I was just going to trust that in a few weeks I would have my baby...and you know the rest of the story. That is a HUGE step!
ReplyDeleteHUGE big step! I'll take a big deep breath with you.
