Blue is supposed to be the color for boys.

When babies are born, little boys are wrapped in blue blankets, little girls are wrapped in pink blankets. I guess it's so people know right away if a baby is a boy or a girl.

I like blue.

I'm having a girl, and I put blue in her nursery because I like blue. Blue is calming. It's just smooth. Like the ocean, the sky, Bliss' eyes, the blanket I had when I was younger. When I think about the color blue, I feel peaceful inside.

It’s interesting how colors can evoke feelings like that. Like, universally red is angry, yellow is hopeful. I don’t even like the color yellow, so what does that say about me? I guess pastel yellow is okay, but solid yellow? No way. Yellow on the side of green? Not a chance.

I hope my baby has blue eyes like her daddy.
