Bad Baby Talk.
So, lately I've felt really bad. Glen and I sat down the other night and talked about this.. and we've been so selfish.
We're having our first baby and when it comes to buying things for our baby we're SO picky.. we just want everything to be perfect.
I'm completely done the baby room, we've clothes, toys, bedding, strollers, etc. everything down to soothers for our baby.. we're set, and when we hear about people giving us stuff we are like "well why didn't they ask us what we wanted or need something"
We've come to the conclusion that it's really not our right, and it's completely selfish of us to think. People aren't obligated to give us anything, but if they do, it's a blessing that they even thought of Paayton.
It's so hard since this is my first baby I want him to be perfect, to have everything he wants, and to be the best looking baby..
But I realized that those things aren't important. The most important thing will be laying in bed with him and just looking at the miracle he is!
Material things can't compare to what it will actually be like to have a baby in my arms.
So, if I or Glen have come across as selfish or picky, it is only because this is our first.. and we have no idea how to act. We don't know what it's like to have a baby yet, so right now we can only comprehend the material things.
Before I saw having a baby like having a giant "wedding shower", you have a list or a registry of things you want/need, and people picked one thing to buy..
but it doesn't work like that. People give to bless the baby in his new beginnings.
If you, or anyone gives our family anything in the future, just know it will be welcomed as a huge blessing!
