Finally You

Chapter 22

CPOV

Ana is now 8 months pregnant with our daughter. She and I are both loving her new body. Her breast are fuller and unless she turns to look at you wouldn't know she was pregnant from the back. From the front she looks like she smuggling a watermelon under her shirt.

We finally finished the nursery and the house was baby proofed by Elliot. Ray decided to take up a old past time he loved and made our baby her crib. He designed a princess carriage crib with everything from a crown cushioned back to wheels as footers. It's white with the hint of 'dusty pink' along the edges. Carla customized the canopy that covers Caroline's crib with chiffon material that has crowns and wands sewn into the material. As you can tell we went with a princess theme for our baby girls room. Above Caroline's crib is her name and a collage of Ana and I throughout her pregnancy.

The walls are the same dusty pink that her crib will be along with all white furniture. Ana found a double rocker that fits both of us perfectly. Ana's only real request was that our baby have a child safe bookshelf along one of the walls. The bookshelf is only 3 ft in height but 8 ft in length and the isn't one spot for another book left. Ana and I went to Barnes and Noble for a lot of Caroline's books but we also found some local bookstores named Secret Garden Books and Nana's books, we found some amazing books that aren't available at B&N.

We got all the Berenstain bears book collection, Corduroy, Goodnight, Moon, Guess how much I love you and many more that we both loved from our childhood. Ana even bought every Little House on the Prairie book and Secret Garden and Little Women. I think they are mostly for herself but she and our daughter can enjoy them together.

Caroline's closet is completely packed full of outfits thanks to my sister, our mother's and Mel and of course we've bought probably 50 percent of her clothing. I don't think a day has gone by that someone hasn't shown up with a bag of clothing or toy for our munchkin.

I came home last night to Ana reorganizing Caroline's nursery. She was pushing furniture around and wiping down the walls and windows. My mom says that is called nesting and it just her way of getting ready for the baby. I can't wait for her to finally be her and hold her for the first time.

It's 3 weeks before our baby is due to be born and tonight is our baby shower. Mel, Mia and Leila combined forces to plan the shower which is why it's so late in Ana's pregnancy. Ana and I walk into my parents living room to find an explosion of pink everywhere and I mean everywhere. As soon as my sisters spot us everyone scream Congratulation all at once and I immediately want to leave.

Mia runs up to us with crowns and places each other them on mine and Ana's head and pulling us into the party. There are at least 30 people here and I don't know half their names. We played games and ate but my favorite part was when Mia brought out plain white and grey onesie with different colored sharpie. I take at least a dozen for myself and get to work on my baby girls future clothes. lol

By the time I'm done with my onesie they say

Ain't No MAMA LIKE THE ONE I GOT

FUTURE CEO

I'm Cute, Mom's cute, Dad's... lucky

My daddy beats your daddy

I love my daddy

I have the best mommy and daddy

My daddies better than yours

You wish your parents were like mine

You think I'm pretty, you should see my mom

I look at Ana while she looks through my onesie creations and she just shakes her head and laughs. She says I can see hers later because she's exhausted and really wants to go home. We thank everyone for their onesies they designed and also for the gifts they donated.
