We are now the proud owners of a crib and dresser for the baby’s room! This was our second trip to look at baby furniture at the Crib 4 Life store and each time I gave Matt a hard time for not parking in one of the “Expectant Mothers” parking spots! Our sales associate was very helpful but it was evident he felt a bit awkward as he looked at my belly and said ” . . . when will you need this by??” I tamed my sarcastic side and said, “We’re adopting a baby!”
The proud owners of a baby crib
There have been many memorable moments so far. We had to take pictures of our home, including a picture of the “baby’s room” to send in with our adoption paperwork. I emailed our social worker to ask if I should label the picture. How would they know this was the baby’s room since it there was a full size bed in the room?!
I spent last Saturday rearranging rooms upstairs to clear out a bedroom for the baby. Matt really wants to get busy painting, but I hope to pick out the bedding first. We hope to go gender neutral with the colors (going with my favorite color – green) since we don’t know if we are getting a boy or a girl. I’ve only looked at bedding at 2 stores, but no one seems to be selling bedding that would work for a boy or a girl. I’m sure our parents did not have this problem since they didn’t know our gender ahead of time! Any suggestions?
