Bassinet

The baby items are starting to roll in.... and thank goodness we have 9 months (although that time is going quickly) to decide on and purchase it all! Good gravy this stuff can add up! It's hard enough to decide on what we want to register for and what theme to go with, then we have to actually buy the big items that are definitely not cheap and I always find the expensive one the prettiest... and now we have to find room in our tiny house to hold it all.

But thankfully I have patience, Ryan (most of the time) believes in my judgement, or rather I just purchase it and bring it home... and we have very loving family members to help :)

This week I purchased our first "big" item and by "big" I mean it hurts the wallet until we can remember it's all for the baby... the Bassinet! I did some research and talked to many new mothers about the role of the bassinet and decided it was something we had to have. So I found one local that was at one of my favorite shops, 'Green Shops'. If you haven't been in or heard of it, it's a great store and a wonderful thing to support! All eco-friendly products with a good story behind it. no crap that just has a "green" label for the heck of it...

This bassinet caught my attentions awhile back and I always wanted it, but

1. I realized I should have a baby or at least one on the way before I bought it

2. I couldn't justify paying over 300 bucks for a bed and

3. the baby might not even like sleeping in the darn thing!

So, like you all know, we're pregnant, so that solved #1. I did my research and realized we needed a bassinet, so I started looking all over the place, which hopefully solves #2 but we'll soon find out... and I really could not stop thinking about the beautiful bassinet I saw at 'Green shops' that was way over my budget... but I ended up meandering my way around the store talking to employees and the owner about my baby and my situation and one thing led to another and I was walking out of the store with the Bassinet I wanted at 40% off.

you ask how did I do it? it must be the pregnancy glow. who knows, but I love it and I hope baby Fergon loves it too and sleeps long and hard in it... we can only dream :)
