Nursery?

For a...

Baby?

The nursery was wild animal themed. The wallpaper was a forest filled with wild animals such as lions, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, and more. Mommy was in the room also, cleaning frantically, wanting to make the room perfect for when the baby arrives. She was dusting the room. Unintentionally, she feather-dusts Little Saige. 

Mommy:"Need...furniture!"

Mommy gets Little Saige's old baby crib out, puts a crib mattress along with crib linen sheets in it, and then puts a mobile on it. The mobile had animals. There was a lion, a giraffe, an elephant, and a monkey. Mommy turned the mobile on and the animals on the mobile turned clockwise while the mobile played the melody of "Rock-A-Bye Baby" Mommy puts her hands up, then runs off. Little Saige walks up to her old crib, stands in front of it, puts her finger on her chin, and stares at it in wonder and confusion, wondering why Mommy had Little Saige's old crib out and all set up.

Mommy has just finished setting up Little Saige's old changing table and runs off again The changing table had a changing mat, diapers, wipes, baby powder, and diaper cream. Little Saige walks up to her old changing table, stands in front of it, puts her finger on her chin, and stares at it in wonder and confusion too, wondering why Mommy had Little Saige's old changing table out and all set up too.

Mommy has just finished setting up a cushioned rocking chair, matching ottoman, and a bookcase filled with baby books and fairy tale books. Mommy is putting the finishing touches on it as she puts a blanket on the rocking chair and pats it, getting the wrinkles out. The whole time she is still frantically mumbling.

Little Saige walks up to Mommy.

Little Saige:"Mommy, why do you have baby stuff out?"

Mommy barks like a dog and continues to clean with the feather duster.

Little Saige:"Hey, Mommy!"

Mommy:"Ooh, sweep, sweep!"

Mommy uses the feather duster to sweep the walls of the nursery and the air.

Little Saige:"Well, Mommy, I came looking for you to see if you wanted to take me to the park, but I can see you're busy having an episode."

Mommy:(Stops cleaning and her face turns red. Pregnancy mood swings kicking in.)"You know something, Saige? It's just all fun and games for you. Nothing really matters.(imitates Little Saige)"Oh, let's go to the park! We don't have any work to do!" Life is just a big bowl of fancy, assorted cashews, and nobody has anything to dust or to clean or to wipe or fabricate or sanatize! Or baby proof!"

Little Saige:"But, Mommy, the only thing I've ever seen you clean is your plate yesterday."

Due to Mommy's pregnancy cravings, she ate a lot of food yesterday, trying to provide a lot of nourishment for the baby.

Mommy:(Snaps out of being angry and starts crying, pregnancy mood swings still in full swing)"I'm sorry, Saige!(Stops crying and is happy, pregnancy mood swings still there.)Saige...(Kneels down, holds both of Little Saige's hands, and looks into her eyes)I'm going to have a baby."

Little Saige:(Shocked, surprised, excited, and happy)"A buh-buh-buh...A buh-buh-buh...A buh-buh-buh...?!"

Mommy:"That's right! You're gonna be a big sister, Saige! And you're going to be a great big sister! You can help feed the baby and hold it and care for it."

Little Saige:"Don't worry, Mommy! I'm going to be the best big sister ever! I can hardly wait for the baby to get here! When will the baby come?"

Mommy:"Nine months."
