Her room

Inspired by my friend Ashley, I wanted to talk about her room. Not Grace's room, the little girl that we wait for and call Lily. About 10 months ago I started to work on Lily's room. We have a single bed in there for now. I'm not sure why I feel like that's the right size bed for her, but I do. I have no idea how old Lily will be, she could be 2 yrs. or 18 mos. or 12 mos. old. Maybe she'll be 3. We asked for an 18 mo. old or younger but for some reason I feel like Lily won't need a crib. If it turns out that she's a baby than we'll get Grace's crib out of storage. I found bedding that I loved (on sale), had a print framed, and put Grace's wicker rocking chair in the room for her sister. Later on I put books and toys that Grace had outgrown on shelves. I still want to paint. There is also an antique dresser in the room that was my husband's Great Grandparents. Eventually I'll paint it too. For a while (late last Summer and Fall), her room made me terribly sad because of the tremendously long wait that was forecast. I couldn't go in it for a long time and kept the door shut. It was used as a storage area for Christmas gifts and stuff I didn't have a place for and everytime I'd go in there, I'd get more depressed about the wait. But something has changed, I don't feel that way anymore...not since Christmas. So the door is open always. I will paint her dresser in the next 2 or 3 months. I get great peace from that little room, sitting in the rocker and thinking about Lily. Though I don't know who she is yet, I know God does and when it's the right time...we will know her too. :)
