It's Friday night and all we want to do, (Okay, all Winn wants to do) is put together Lottie Lee's crib that just arrived. After some persuasion, we decided crib assembly would be a fun Friday night activity. At first Scott was skeptical of all the fun, eventually he realized how momentous of an occasion it was; we never had a crib before.
We had no idea what we were doing, I mean Scott is handy and we put it together in a few minutes, but we had no idea really how the completed project would effect us. It became real, that one day soon, there would be a baby sleeping in this room. So long waiting...almost a year, and although there is no definite timeline when we will travel to China, this crib is up, it's beautiful and perfect and it's Lottie's crib. Friday, January 27th, will be a night ingrained in our memories, and it was just another step closer. One day soon Friday nights will be spent wishing Lottie Lee sweet dreams and reminiscing of that night in January when we assembled that crib, knowing nothing but the love we have for this baby who is so far away, yet so close in our hearts.
Every night until she gets here, we will say goodnight to an empty crib, "goodnight baby, we love you more than you know and cannot wait until we meet you".
