First Package for Baby

Today received a box of clothes from my sister-in-law Helen, clothes from her daughter/my neice Nadia, in hopes that this will be a girl. They're really very nice! Thank you, Helen! Keep your fingers crossed it's a girl. Not that that will help, but, well. There's jeans with fuzz on the bottom, some really cute onsies, a cordorouy smock, a dress with strawberries, a gorgeous velvet holiday dress that should fit for Christmas in future, etc. etc. I kept out this cute white hooded sweater/poncho with flowers crocheted on it, it's just the cutest thing ever, very touchable. Makes me think about a future with baby. Which seems very far-off, like a dream not quite realised, too tentative to be real.
