The baby just really needed it

June 1st, 2009

I think I’ve mentioned that we are not spending a fortune on the baby stuff. Mostly because (I’m cheap) we have no room for anything, and (really, really, cheap) please – I just got bedroom furniture that we did not have to assemble ourselves last year, he can live with Ikea/craigslist/stuff we found around the house. So much is borrowed and what isn’t…well…doesn’t need to last us for a lifetime.

We decided to have 1 splurge item in honor of the baby’s arrival – a glider, and if you know me at all, you know I’ve spent months searching for the exact one I want. Since its going in the living room and I’d like it to fit into our lives for a good long while I have been being kind of picky. Plus, OMG even the ugly ones are outrageously priced! I refuse to spend any of my hard earned money on something ugly and shabbily put together. Well the clock is ticking and with 5 weeks till my due date I have been getting a little nervous that we wouldn’t have one while the babe was still a babe.

I saw this one on a decor blog a while back and today we finally hunted one down to try out in person. 

 

The above pic is the exact color option and style we chose. I cannot wait for it to arrive in 4-6 weeks! From Canada! Where it is being custom made just for me! Hopefully it gets here before Cupcake but its really down to the wire. I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, we also got the ottoman. But pregnancy is hard work and hot damn, I earned it!
