It's becoming real...

It's just after midnight on a Monday night and I'm laying in bed watching a chick flick crocheting my first baby blanket.

I am not following a pattern (I don't really understand them TBH) I am kind of just going with the flow. As I begin my foundation row, which is the layout for this blanket, I find myself measuring across my body and imagining holding a baby on my chest under this blanket. I wonder if this length is long enough, if it will cover my little one's legs, if it is soft enough. 

I amaze myself at how quickly and easily my mind goes there. I love it. It fills some part of my soul that I have yet to tap in to. A section of my heart that I seemed to have magically reserved just for my child. I look forward to the New Year when I can make this vision a reality. I look forward to holding my child under this blanket that Mommy created just for her/him.
