16 weeks along
So, we are 16 weeks along at this point. In roughly three weeks, we should be finding out what sex the baby will be. No, I do not want to be surprised. I've never been a huge fan of surprises… ever. And, Carmen is a planner; a big planner. She's already looking around for inspiration as to what the nursery theme should be. Right now, we keep coming back to deep red, teal, and brown, as a combo.
Nursery?
What the eff is a nursery?! You mean, "baby's room." I'm much more comfortable calling it a baby's room. There's something about nursery that sounds just so… I don't know - temporary. If it's the same room in 5 years and the child is still in the room, is it a nursery then? I don't think so. At that point, it's Henry's room; or Ruby's room; or, whatever the hell we want to call it.
Beyond that, in all likelihood, the room will be in a mobile home for the first few years. There's just something weird about calling a room constructed of formaldehyde in a 76x16 ambulatory domicile, a nursery.
