The Kidney Bean: Baby clothes

Baby clothes

I washed some baby clothes today for the first time (otherwise K.B. will be naked when we bring him/her home from the hospital).

It was a weird a feeling to toss those tiny little t-shirts, hats and sleepers into the washer. Less than two weeks to go, and it still feels so unreal.
