Nesting already?
Sunday, January 31st, 2010 | Oh, Baby!
Yesterday was productive and probably a sign I’m doing a little early nesting. Kelvin had to attend commencement at NCC in the morning so I ran errands on my own sitting in what seemed like a million ugly grandma recliners. I also got by a local store that carries Bonavita baby furniture to check out the construction and color of the crib my sister and I found online.
After I picked up Kelvin we went for a yummy lunch at the new Fiesta Ole and headed to the Lazboy store for him to approve of the chair I wanted for the nursery.
It is one I found earlier this week and have antagonized over the color all week. I brought home two fabric samples that I ended up not liking with the fabric I have already purchased to make curtains and the bed skirt. After having Kelvin sit in two of the three (the second one he said was mawmaw enough he didnt bother), I went with the Rex rocker recliner adding the swivel mechanism and having it covered in orange (take a look at my Flickr account to see the fabric together). I figure I can make orange work in the kid-o’s room for years. Maybe it just assures me that I wont have to cave to a princess pink room in the future; and that is not something i will regret. So in about 8 weeks (maybe sooner) I’ll have a comfy chair that Braut and Harriett will help me break in I’m sure.
So after the success of buying the chair, I promptly came home and ordered the Peyton crib from Albeebaby.com where they had it for a great price and included free shipping and 15% off.
And that is me nesting. I told myself I wouldn’t do anything else until after we get back from our trip to Australia, but I obviously lie; I started a registry list on Amazon so I could stop putting stuff in my google doc spreadsheet. Obviously, it’s just the beginning and I will most likely do a registry through BabiesRUs or BuyBuy baby when it opens. So if you have suggestions, send them my way.
