Finally!

Finally! Kandis and I made the leap today. We went out and purchased the baby’s first furniture items. Three beautiful pieces: the crib, changing table, and armoire. We finally settled on the items after months of looking for the “perfect” set. Kandis is happy, so I am happy. The baby’s room is going to be great. Kandis knows exactly what she wants and that makes shopping a better experience for me because we are not debating in the store with each other about things.

More and more I am feeling it. “It” being the wave of emotions that crashes upon a persons being when they know that they will be receiving a great gift. But not any gift, one that you’ve been looking forward to getting for a long time. It’s like being a kid and everyday is Christmas Eve. And you’ve been good, so you know that when you wake up your present will be there under the tree. It’s wonderful! What’s weird is the fact that when I wake up, it’s Christmas Eve again. Days are equivalent to hours and Christmas won’t be here for a while. But the excitement is here and it grows everyday!

And with the baby’s furniture now ordered and the delivery date being in the next couple of weeks, it’s hard to contain myself. Watching the baby sleep, folding the baby’s clothes, changing the baby, and knowing that the baby has a comfortable room are truly blessings. What a miracle.

It’s unbelievable that I will be a father soon. Kandis will be a mother soon. My parents will be grandparents. And LaShanda will be an aunt.

Finally!
