"the girl's room"

my parents still live in the same house i was brought home from the hospital to. the front room was first my nursery, then i invited sister in and we shared it for years until she left home, then it was solo mine again, then i married my man and it changed hands again. now...its back to the "girl's room" as we have always called it. and my handsome and i stayed in it this trip.

many times as a little girl playing "baby dolls" i dreamed of becoming a mommy. seeing the mister playing & sleeping in the room that i grew up in, played in, dreamed in...its very real and surreal and dream-like all at the same time for me.

many dreams, many years of wanting and then getting old enough to realize that not everyone is able to have children...my wanting turned to longing...and then when the time was right for our family...my longing turned to hoping that we'd be blessed with a child. and we were. my mind still has a hard time wrapping and realizing that it happened...and he's here. and its as if he always has been. in a way he has...he has always been in my dreams that started in that very room!
