I dropped the Pottery Barn Catalogue in the toilet by accident this morning. Is that a sign? I'm still laughing. I was starting to re-evaluate whether I should just buy that crib I love so much since it does make a gorgeous head board after. Crib shopping has been the thorn in my ass because I either find them all cheap, not attractive enough for the money they want or so gorgeous but insanely expensive.
I was also looking at used cribs online and was going to view some of them in Toronto but my truck wouldn't start yesterday. I had to have it towed to the shop and am waiting to find out what's wrong with it. Another sign? at least not to get the cherry one in King City that I would have gone to see last night.
I'm going to drive myself nuts before this baby comes. I'm afraid of new cribs that might be have future recalls or horrible glues, paints and fiber board off-gassing in the room and I'm afraid of the used ones and buying a crib that isn't up to today's safety standards. Is this kid supposed to be driving me insane with worry already? It's just a crib for Christ's sake but I feel like I'm buying a death trap for all the horror stories out there about crib deaths. I mind as well just forget the nursery and buy my husband a new bed for his new room cause the baby will be sleeping with me.
I better go order myself another PB catalogue online before I'm tempted to view my old one when it dries lol..... The stuff is just too cute in there. I was only walking past the toilet so my obsession with that PB crib is not AS bad as you might think.
And yes, I need to get some photos on here! People tell me how great I look for being so far along so I'll be curious to see the comparison from 28w. That feels wonderful to hear and makes being pregnant that much better.... I look how good? lol.... And you realize how ridiculous you've been for 20 years always trying to suck your stomach in around people when for the first time in my life I can just let it all hang loose with the baby belly. It's been wonderful!
Update:
You can't order a Pottery Barn catalogue online in Canada. Hmmmm.

You are too funny. Crib shopping was a nightmare for me too until we had a gift card for a crib only and just picked one closest to that price.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I know you'll pick a gorgeous crib! And pictures are good! I want to see how fabulous you look and that nursery when it comes together!
Love you!
