You like? We got a super deal and I think they look lovely. We decided to go with dark wood so they might not show the bashing as much. Also the room is a really light colour so the contrast will be nice. Did we buy the converter pack - hell no. Totally forgot! I'll order it online later.
So , we are so nearly there. We have everything else on the registry and even if no-one buys anything from the list all I have to do is press buy and it all gets delivered.
Whoo hooooo!!
Past few days I have noticed the physical discomfort has started. My hips and back are a little achy (nothing too bad really) and I am going to stop wearing my rings just in case. It would break my heart to see my ring cut. We made our wedding rings with a goldsmith. Really cool thing to do. It took 9 hours (they are made of platinum and its a hard metal to work with) and we welded, shaped and soldered too our hearts content. Then I engraved East and WEst inside mine and DH has North and South inside his so when we travel we always know how to find each other (ahhhhhhh).
I am planning to take the kids on my business trips next year, at least the longer ones. Everyone I tell thinks I am mad but I will have the nanny with me and I get to see my little monkeys more. What's mad about that?? Anyway, I think its important that they learn to travel whilst young since their only living relatives live 12 hours away.
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Summer is here so ice-cream tastes EVEN BETTER!!
The crib is beautiful Be sure to post pics when they're both set up in the nursery! Online shopping has been a life-saver for me. Besides the cribs (which we borrowed from a friend) everything has been ordered online. I'm impressed you've been able ot wear your rings for this long. I put mine away around 25 weeks because my hands were so swollen.
ReplyDeleteI think taking your babies with you is perfectly doable. My cousin had only one, and she traveled from LA to Chicago 3 days every week, and she did it without a nanny. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Go for it!
Love the new blog look! I like your crib a lot. We went with the darker wood too - I hope you're right about masking the bumps and bangs.
ReplyDeleteProbably good to take the rings off...they sound amazing. How clever the north/south/east/west idea! As for traveling with the kids, if anyone will manage just fine, it's you.
Happy weekend!
Hi EB!
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog format- it is easy on the eyes and looks sharp- the cribs and stroller! TANGIBLE EVIDENCE- how incredibly cool.
So glad to hear you are doing well, and happy happy 28+ weeks
XOOO

Love the crib!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommended getting the converter kit now as opposed to later. My 60 year old crib manufacturer went out of business (and I held off getting the conversion kit thinking "who needs it now"). MISTAKE. We had to have one custom made.
It's all coming together...
