But, NOT BEFORE I justified the double rocker, with down stuffing, in an appropriate fabric, as a way for all 4 of us to bond and attach to each other once MZ got home. It got lumped in with all the other adoption expenses. No wonder we did an ET adoption on a China budget!!<BR/><BR/>Oh wait, is that a Pottery Barn bed I see in your room?

I bought a fish shower curtain before our first arrived for the same reason.<BR/><BR/>I cannot co-sleep after months of trying. I can co-laydown, co-cuddle, co-complain, co-toss and turn, but after months of no sleep we did not try. I love the idea of the bed on the side of the bed and I think we will do this too. <BR/><BR/>You are sooooo ready!<BR/><BR/>As far as decor - if you let them pick they will never pick pottery barn - so don't worry - they will want ripped out pages of magazines and if they are like Q they will tape up the candy wrappers of their favorite candy bars all over their walls. Luckily it's inexpensive. <BR/><BR/>And my favorite - Selam - we will be copying.knhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612658633007520397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-35667558257451512382009-01-29T23:42:00.000-08:002009-01-29T23:42:00.000-08:00I'm not a nursery grump.
