Baby KIWI's Room. Part 1.

So my sister came over on Sunday after church to spend the afternoon with me at my apartment. it was such a nice visit. I'm so glad we can spend time together like this especially now that she is preggers.

We sat and talked for a while, watched KIWI tumble around in her belly, and then she pulled out different color swatches for baby's room. It will be a light yellow.
This is a small concept of what KIWI's room will look like.



I found these wooden blocks on sale not too long after I had moved here. What's neat about it is, it comes with a little wooden crate. Perfect for kids to learn how to put their toys away. I thought it looked like my sister and it fits just plumb perfect with the room! I can't wait to see it all finished!

It’s a beautiful world I see, these moments are changing me.

The mystery is solved!
It's a GIRL!!!

So... precious Kiwi... What will your name be now??
Emma, Rachel, Apple, or stay at Kiwi??
You're going to get to a point you can't say my real name, Anna,
So Nana will do...
It won't bother me, for I think it's rather cute.
I love you so much already, it's an odd feeling realizing that you'll
be here in a matter of months.
I can't wait to teach you fun things like surfing and listening to good music.
You're gonna be a magnificent child... full of smarts and curiosity.
We're all waiting for your grand arrival in this beautiful world!
I seriously can't wait to meet you little one.

Love,
Your Aunt Nana

Baby KIWI.

Many of you may not know this, but I'm sure most of you do...
My sister is preggers, and I'm gonna be an AUNT!
They call the baby KIWI.
uh huh.



We're not sure what exactly this "KIWI" is yet, but what I do know it's gonna be a pretty awesome kid. I don't think this whole being an "Aunt" thing had kicked in yet until I saw my sister the other night. She's got a basketball hanging out in her belly now. It's crazy... Last time I saw her she barely had a speed bump... Now it's just hanging out saying, "Look at Me!! Look at Me!!" I have to say I was pretty excited. I'm glad I can be here to experience these very surreal, special moments w/ my sister and her hubby. I can't imagine having some kind of alien of a thing, that apparently is a human, growing inside of me. I've heard crazy stories... and I sometimes wonder what it will be like, but at other times, I think I'd be better off just not knowing... I know women were built to carry such things inside for 9 months, there's a unique bond there that grows between a mother and a child, I don't fully get it, but seeing my sister talk to her KIWI all the time, makes me think she's a little nuts sometimes, but it's just that bonding moment they go through... And seeing that, makes me think twice about really wanting that desire to become a mommy myself one day. I can't wait to meet baby KIWI.
I'd really like to know what it is so we can call it something other than a fuzzy fruit.

Hurry up KIWI.... We wanna know what you are!!!
