Furniture and some onesies

Thanks to everyone for your comments and emails...I feel like much less of a furniture ignoramus now! In my defense, I've only bought 2 pieces of furniture in my life: a futon and a chair. At the same place in Boston or Cambridge, in 1999.

I guess my philosophy is - if you can't wear it, eat it or read it - I'm not going to buy it. Usually.

But now, armed with the advice of my expert readers, I have made some decisions! Which are open to change.

Here's the crib I'm thinking of. I love the cherry wood. It needs to be assembled, but D says we can hire someone to do it. Also, the comments say it is easy to assemble. And it's still hundreds of dollars less than the one at Buy Buy Baby (even after shipping). What's not to love?

Stacking baskets! $14.99 each instead of a $600-$800 dresser from Buy Buy Baby. Woo!

Changing pad! Instead of a changing table.

And here are some onesies I bought at Old Navy:

Isn't it exciting! Cute crib and onesies.

Also, I keep forgetting to reccomend The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy. It's a hoot and well worth reading.

Cute. I like the one that says "Thrill seeker" on it with the picture of a turtle.:)

These are cool too if your bedroom is wide enough. Especially cool if you plan on nursing cuz baby is right there.

They're the arm's reach co-sleepers. They hook to your bed.

I love the crib - it's a very rich color - very nice.

And the onsies are cute, too. I think baby clothes are the most adorable things. I don't have kids, but whenever I go by baby clothes, it's an automatic "ahhhh - so cute" or "look at that one" or "it's little people clothes". It's hard not to like.

Apparently, either baby Gap or Gymboree has little sweaters (probably for babies a little older) with elbow patches on them! I thought they were the cutest thing ever.

How professorial! :) Maybe I should get him a little tweed jacket too. I guess I can only buy him summer clothes, though, b/c he's coming in June and it will probably be hot here by then.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
