The Crib

Throughout the pregnancy I've realized that those who manufacture baby products (be it bottles, rattles, nursing wraps, or cribs) have quite the corner on the market. Something that should be relatively easy to buy or find - like a crib - is not always the case. My parents graciously offered to buy us our crib and after much research and frustration we decided on a nice one that will last a long time. We had to drive to New Hampshire to pick it up and so we borrowed our friends' Blazer to bring it home. When they pulled it out from the back Derrick and I looked at each other and started laughing! The thing was the size of a small house - literally! There was no way it was going to fit in the Blazer - a semi, maybe! We tried to find a UHaul place and begged Home Depot but, alas, we had no luck and had to return the thing and drive back to Mass empty handed.
After ordering it again to a closer store and coaxing one of the Chick-fila workers who owns a truck to help us bring it home (not my idea but Derrick's crazy ideas usually turn out to be great ones!), it finally arrived! While we are both convinced that's it's too nice for "our station in life" I am thrilled to own it and am so grateful for it! Now all it lacks is a little cute baby to support and keep warm.
