Day 15 - the white chair

I remember when we first bought this chair. I wanted all white to match Calista's all white nursery. Most thought I was crazy to want a white chair but that's what I had set in my mind. I pictured myself nursing babies, rocking babies, reading to babies and just cuddling them all night when they couldn't sleep. Here we are eight years later and I've spent many hours in the chair doing all of the above. I've slept in that chair more than I've wanted to but each time I had a baby in my arms so the memories I have are precious. I remember one night when Ken was out of town and I was teaching the next day. Caroline was a little baby and woke up constantly. I was really nervous about getting myself and the girls ready the next morning so I got dressed before bed. I slept in that chair, holding and nursing Caroline most of the night, dresssed and basically ready for work. I'll never be able to part with this chair unless maybe one of the girls wants it for her babies. It's not as white anymore but I don't think the girls mind.
