Rock On Preggo-Mamma!


Ta-DAAAA!
We purchased a rocking chair (glider-rocker, actually) for the nursery. We're quite pleased: not only is it comfortable, but it is also low-maintenance. Micro-fiber is easy to clean - and it is super-soft, too. I think we went to nearly every furniture place in the city... and there are more than you think! But we found this one at
Uncle Ed's... and not only was it a couple-hundred dollars off, but they paid both taxes. We also saved another chunk of change when they had none left in the warehouse and we were able to get the floor-model (which had been on the floor no longer than a week).
The is the last of the nursery furniture we needed/wanted to pick up... now there are the "little" things like the travel system, the snuggly, the playpen, and the chair that 'vibrate-eth' . All in good time, but - ugh! It never ends! Kiley and Jessica were over last night and Kiley said, "Boy, it costs a lot of money to have a baby... more than a car." :) And, truth be told, we haven't even spent
that much: all we've bought so far are the change table and the rocking chair, 'cause the crib is on loan and the bassinet is a gift. (lol)
Ah-well... may as well get used to spending some money on the little kumquat sooner-rather-than-later, right? ;)

Hmmm... but for now we're both sitting in the chair, in the nursery simply
visualizing... the baby, not spending more money... and it is starting to get super-exciting! Only 46 days (give or take a few) until we can put that crib & bassinet, rocking chair and - yes - even the change table to use... praise God!

You're new 3D baby is very cool and informative. I like that it gives you info on the baby, and info for mom AND dad.
I'm so excited for you guys and I can't wait to babysit:)

Good thing you wrote back. I'm thinking, "Who is this that wants to watch my child??" (lol) :)
Thanks Shiela - was great to see you last night... how was The Cheesetoast? We did a quick DQ stop and then home to check out doggy-dearest. :)

Hi Kendall

It sure does look like Baby Manz is going to be well cared for :)
As a baby, Kurt was rocked everyday in our rocker, and I'm sure your baby will be too (not necessarily because he/she will have colic, but because you will enjoy the bond on your glider! It looks soo comfortable, and yes, we will be more than willing to babysit for you too :)

Lots of Love, GG (to be) Manz
