Furniture Fun

There are so many decisions about parenting you have to make before a baby even arrives it's enough to make your head spin. What to buy, what to buy new, what to buy used, what to paint with what kind of paint, the list goes on and on.

This beautiful blue chair is our 1st furniture purchase. We got it from Craig's list and are very excited. After countless hours of shopping around and searching the internet, we had nearly resigned ourselves to spending an exorbitant amount of money on a new chair that would fit Allyson's frame. Then at the last minute this nugget of joy popped up in our browser window. Score!

I plan on modifying a dresser to make a changing table and we were given a crib from a very close friend as well.

The best new toy, however, will be a room air conditioner--a hand-me-down from Allyson's parents. It is almost 100 degrees here daily and we could all use a cool down.

I know that many, many more babyish needs will present themselves before this is all said and done, but for now, it feels good to have a couple of things out of the way.

If anyone would like to buy personalized t-shirts from some portuguese guy named Rodrigo, ask me and I'll give you his address. Otherwise, pay no attention to the deleted comment above.

I would like to buy a gross of t-shirts to celebrate the windfall I just made letting a man from the Nigerian consulate use my bank account. Please, Rodrigo, give me a call!
