Empty

We recently bought a house. It's still in escrow. We bought it because we are currently in a 2 BD/ 2 BATH condo and knew we wanted more space. A yard would make our dog and our little boy very happy, and another bedroom would mean space for our new addition. I was already envisioning how there was plenty of room in the master suite for a bassinet for our tiny baby, and I was toying with ideas for what to do with the third bedroom once the baby was a few months old, and we were ready to move him/her into his/her own room.

Now I can hardly think about the house. All I can see is that empty corner of the master suite where I wanted to put a bassinet. The empty third bedroom into which we will not soon be moving a changing table and crib. The high chair that will stand unused in the kitchen for an indeterminate period of time. The baby toys we have kept although our son has outgrown them that will continue to be boxed up and out of sight. I can hardly get up the gumption to sort our things and begin to pack.
