The nursery has finally come together and now we’re “officially” ready. That’s all it takes, right? Nothing else required to be ready for a baby. Sure. But the room is ready and we even have two months to spare! How’d that happen? So this weekend, we were finally able to “unveil” the nursery to the family and show what we’ve been up to in there. It was SO much fun putting it together. Neither one of us wanted to do something totally traditional, so it was fun coming up with ideas and trying out something new. We came up with something that fits our style, but with some kid “flair” thrown in. We’re all ready for the little one now….at least the decor is. I can’t say we’ll ever be truly ready mentally.
So the running joke in our family has been that since we don’t know the sex of the baby, we needed to find a name that we can call it so that it doesn’t have to be called “it.” My sister and I were talking one evening and came up with “Dwayne”. And since she thinks that it’s a girl, what better name than Dwayne Payne for a pretty little girl, right? Yeah, I know.
Well, as things tend to go, that has spread. So, now EVERYONE is calling the baby Dwayne. Not sure that the poor kid has a chance at being called anything else. That poor, poor, child. If you can’t have a sense of humor about it, then why bother, though.
Anyway…now that the room is ready, we just need a Dwayne to fill it now. We can’t wait – no matter what we call her (or him).
