So i'm sure in all the junk that I've read in my PhD program, there is probably some theory for why we attach feelings to certain items. There has been a carseat sitting in my office for a month now and every time I look at it, I have to remind myself that a baby is going to be sitting in there soon. And then I jump when I realize it's OUR baby.
But today Steve picked up a rocking chair that I found on Craigslist ($20! woohoo!!) and as I walked in the office to check email, I saw the rocking chair and immediately this feeling of matronly love came over me. Matron. Maybe it's because the chair looks so stately. But, Yes. That word specifically. Matron. It was like, holy crap, I will be sitting in that chair and be a MOTHER.
Eek. Am I ready to do that? I think I have a bit of Peter Pan syndrome.... (let's all sing "I won't grow up!")

Aimee, I'm loving your preggy thoughts. You're so authentic, sweet, & right on! I still sometimes tell hanny, "let's go see mommy" meaning MY mother...then I remember I'm hanny's mother and my heart stops. Speedy is lucky to have you! You'll be great! And, I LOVE your quilt on your bed!! xoxo Sum
