A little over a year ago, even before Daniel and I were married, I was doing some shopping for the house (a never ending task) at one my favorite stores, High Fashion Home (I wonder if they would pay to advertise on my blog?). As I was perusing the aisles filled with crystal chandeliers, velvet chaise lounges and beds bigger than my house I stumbled in their gift/clothing department. Now I will take a moment to say that when I discovered this part of the store it instantly became one of my top five favorites. So there I am, touch shopping (this is when you touch, try on and feel things that alas you do not purchase) when I come across the baby section. Obviously at the time I wasn't in need of baby couture but one lil item did catch my eye. It was a onsie that read, "I'm kind of a big deal."
That brings me to the second part of my story. I know, seems like a cute onsie but what made this particular piece of baby couture special was that on my first date with Daniel, my ever humble husband did use the words, "I was kind of a big deal" when describing himself in college. I know, I know...that is not standard Daniel talk and I think that's what always makes me laugh about it. Whether he was or not I remember saying, "wow, anyone who has to tell me they were a big deal must not have been a big deal" wink, wink. I am sure my sassy comment pretty much sealed the deal for him. :)
So now back to me, in the aisle at High Fashion Home. As soon as I saw this onsie I took a pic with my camera phone and sent a text to Daniel with a message saying, "this would be awesome for our first kid." His response, "ha, ha--buy it." And so for the next year and a half that precious lil piece of baby couture sat in my closet all wrapped up in precious yellow tissue paper. I told Husband (my nickname for him, some might say generic, I like to call it witty) that whenever we find out we are pregnant with our first baby I would give it to him. And so it was on Friday, January 20, 2012 that that precious piece of baby couture would finally make it's debut...
