Getting Closer

Yesterday afternoon I moved this into our bedroom. 

A small thing really. But my heart swells whenever I walk into our room and see it now. It has been in the room designated for the nursery for the last 2 months or so, as we try and contain all the baby things to that room until his arrival is more imminent. However our crib and mattress were delivered recently and will be getting set up this coming week so I decided I needed to clear some space. 

So I moved the bassinet into our room, over in the corner between our dresser and the window. This basket won't be filled with our precious boy for another few months. But in the meantime when I see it, I see so much more than just the spot where our baby will sleep when he's born. 

I see snuggles with my little man, late night nursing in a darkened bedroom, sleepy eyes but full hearts. I hear tiny baby coos and grunts of baby stretching. I see the strongest desire of my heart coming closer to reality. And that little glimpse into the future, the reminder that pregnancy isn't forever and soon their will be a tiny squishy baby instead of a rounded belly, is one of the sweetest parts of my day.
