you and matt were eagerly awaiting the arrival of your first baby, and as the due date neared, the anticipation grew stronger with each passing day.
the nursery was almost ready, the crib assembled, and the softest blankets were folded neatly in place. but it was the tiny clothes, the onesies, that made everything feel so real.
you sat comfortably on the couch, nestled in a sea of cushions, your hand resting gently on your rounded belly. the soft glow of the television cast a warm light over the room as you watched your favorite film, a contented smile playing on your lips.
you glanced towards the hallway, where you could hear matt bustling about. you smiled to yourself, knowing that he was likely admiring the tiny clothes he had been washing in preparation for your baby’s arrival.
matt was in the laundry room, eagerly attending to the task at hand. he is carefully transferring the freshly washed baby clothes into the dryer, heart swelling with joy as he handled each tiny piece of clothing.
the onesies were soft and delicate, adorned with whimsical patterns and vibrant colors. one had little yellow ducks splashing in puddles, another was covered in tiny blue stars, and yet another had pastel rainbows arching across a white background.
as the dryer buzzed, signaling the end of the cycle, matt eagerly pulled out the warm, freshly dried onesies. he could barely contain his excitement.
he picked up a particularly tiny one, a mint green onesie with a small, embroidered elephant on the chest, and marveled at its size. it was so small, so incredibly cute.
his cheeks flushed with a pink tint, a mix of excitement and pure, unfiltered joy. with the onesie in hand, matt dashed into the living room. "love, look!" he exclaimed, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.
you turned your attention away from the screen and looked at your husband, your heart melting at the sight of his beaming face.
"look, babe! it's so little and cute!" matt continued, holding up the tiny onesie for you to see. "it's so wild to think that our baby is gonna be wearing this soon!" his eyes sparkling with wonder and amazement.
you smiled warmly, feeling a rush of love for both matt and your unborn child. you reached out and took the onesie from him, your fingers tracing the soft fabric.
"it's perfect," you said softly, your eyes meeting matt's. "i can't believe how small it is."
matt sat down beside you, still holding a few more onesies in his lap. "i know, right? it's just so incredible to think about. our little one is going to be here soon, and they'll be wearing these tiny clothes."
matt wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close. “i can’t wait to hold them, to see their little face and count their tiny fingers and toes.”
you leaned into him, feeling the warmth of his embrace and the steady beat of his heart. you placed the onesie on your lap, your hand resting atop it, imagining the day you would dress your baby in it for the first time.
“do you think they’ll have your eyes?” matt asked, his voice soft and filled with curiosity.
“maybe,” you replied, your fingers tracing the elephant on the fabric. “or maybe they’ll have yours.”
matt chuckled, his pink-tinted cheeks deepening in color. “as long as they’re healthy and happy, that’s all that matters to me.”
you turned your head, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek. “me too,” you whispered, feeling a wave of emotion wash over her. “me too.”
you leaned your head on matt’s shoulder, feeling a surge of love and gratitude. "you've been amazing through all of this, matt. seeing you so excited makes me even more excited. our baby is so lucky to have you as their dad."
matt leaned his head on yours, "and they're so lucky to have you as their mom. i can't wait for all the little moments we'll share together as a family."
the movie played on in the background, but both your hearts and minds were fully immersed in the joy of the moment, surrounded by the tangible reminders of the new life you were about to welcome into your world.
