Happy Father's Day

Yes, yes, I know it's not Father's Day yet. I'm writing this a tad early, in case by some stroke of luck Mya decides to be en early bird.

Mason has been such a mama's boy that the past few months have been spent trying to make him into an equal-opportunity parent-lover. We both know that Mya will be relying so much on me when she arrives that Mason will need to get used to Daddy doing almost everything. It hasn't really worked - Mason will almost always pick me to do things for him over Adam. But even when he's asked for me to give him a bath or change him or put him to bed, Adam's done it anyway. I guess that's the definition of a good daddy - a man that takes care of his child even when the child is kicking and screaming for mommy.

For my part, there's no man I'd rather be taking this journey in parenthood with. I love you Daddy-Boo. :)

Almost There...

We're now just two weeks away from Mya's estimated arrival, and I got to thinking how little I'd written about her on this blog. Part of the reason I've been mum is that this pregnancy has been a complete 180 from my pregnancy with Mason. I know it could have been much worse though, so I don't want to complain too much about it. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I like to tell myself that she's just preparing me for the teenage years.

Mya's room is now completely ready for her. She'll be inheriting the bedroom Adam and I have used the past six years in this house, and we finally moved up to the master suite on the second floor. It was much more eventful than just moving some furniture - we also had to run cable upstairs and replace some really old wiring in Mya's room when switching out the ceiling fan for a new light fixture on a dimmer. Thankfully my dad is a regular Mr. Fix-It.

It's probably not too noticeable from these pictures, but Mya's room is a pale shade of blue (we left the color already on the walls). Her bedroom furniture is the set I had growing up (with a crib added to the mix), that has a green trim to it. So we had to find a pink bedding set with green and blue to tie all the room elements together. I fell in love with this Love Birds set, and so the room has taken on a bird theme. While she's won't be big enough to use it for a while, we even put her future twin bed in the room. With both kids being on the first floor, I decided the twin bed is really for me at the beginning - so I don't have to go up and down all night long.

Tick, tock, tick, tock... each second brings us closer to welcoming Mya into our little nest.
