In honor of it being the New Year and making resolutions, we hereby resolve to start getting things ready for this baby to arrive. So the first official act of preparation was to assemble Spanky’s bassinet/crib thing. To get himself ready for the task at hand, Jason did some core strengthening exercises on his new Wii Fit.
I avoided the Wii Fit like the plague, only because it weighs you and analyzes your body mass index, etc..and I figured that wouldn’t be very good for my self-esteem at this stage of the game.
Anyway, once he was stretched and exercised, he started the assembly.
And the finished product:
Yes, it’s round. Yes, you have to buy special sheets for it. And yes, it looks remarkably like a cage. But I am not sure that’s a bad thing. Someday, this very bassinet will turn into a crib, a toddler bed, a big-girl bed and two chairs. Spanky will have it for a nice, long time! Big thanks to Robert and Jane for giving us this lovely piece of trendy, Norwegian baby furniture. It’s pretty damn cool. If you can remember back a few months ago, this was the same crib that we tried to buy on Amazon for a mere $65.
In other news, Spanky is still sideways. This child has made it her mission to make her last six weeks of in-utero living as unpleasant as possible. But I can’t be too upset, because I spent my afternoon indulging in a pre-natal massage. Things could be much, much worse.
