It looks like a boy's room.

We'll have a count of 3 soon...tick tock goes the clock..wait..wait..can't wait to meet the next one.

#1 is almost 17 and I remember being sooo excited at the news of a girl. I envisioned many girly adventures, and we have had many of over the years. She is a mini me in many ways and it a great source of comfort and deep love as well as struggle on occasion.

#1 is smart, beautiful, personable, artistic.

#2 was conceived at what we hope to be the height of teen age girl angst involving #1.

I left the doctors office after the sex ultrasound and called my sister crying from the car because I knew the universe was trying to slowly, painfully kill me off with another girl..either that or my mother's curse had been said on multiple occasions. You know the one..."you wait until you have kids"..yes..yes. Maybe she put extra pepper in that magic potion..because..

#2 is peppery..in way that is all her own. She is a force of nature with a touch of shy. Fearless. This one will have broken bones before kindergarden.

#3 is still cooking. The positive thing about a girl is you kind of know what to expect. A boy? My adventure has already been different this far and we haven't even really begun.

The nursery.

#1 has had more bedroom makeovers than a few.

She has slept in baby dream world, Disney magic, white furniture with little bows, twin beds, bunk beds,queen beds, girl decor, young lady decor..and a few others I'm probably missing. She was very happy with each change. Movement, motion, creativity...

#2 decided she was done with the crib at 9 months.

She is our mountaineer. We have moved on to the low plastic bed on the floor. I think she'll probably be happy for a bit. As long as it has an element of pretty and she can jump on it...

I imagine she will be fine with whatever. She seems to really like routines unlike #1 who always has been a bit more of a free spirit. I forsee a few room makeovers, but not a lot.

#3 needed a new dresser.

I moved the old crib into his room with a twin bed...they are almost the same color.  Put curtains on the window and a single picture with cars on the wall.

The dresser was delivered on Sunday and as it was placed I sat back and thought..

This looks like a boys room.

Take out the crib and this could take him through high school.

It almost looks like a young man's room too....minus the car picture on the wall. Switch out a flag and it's good.

I was amazed at the simplicity of it.

Excited at the possibility of the simplicity of it.

And suddenly a little nervous at the simplicity of it.
