There it is! We did an Ikea run this weekend and picked up the Sundvik Crib, along with a Hemnes dresser, which will double as our change table. As you can see, baby will be in the bedroom with us for the first little while, both for convenience sake and... uh... spatial reasons. While the picture may look a little cozy, we still actually have plenty of room to move around, and there's a large space on the other side of the bed. There's also more space on the side of the room that you can't see, which means we're sailing!
We also picked up our stroller today, a Safety1st Lux Travel System. It's a little big for our very modest apartment, but it's very sturdy and rather spiffy, I must say (brown body, with white, blue and brown retro designs on the canopy). It's satisfying to finally have some of the essentials taken care of. While we still have a lot of smaller things to pick up, it's good to know that if there are any early surprises, at least the baby will have a car seat and somewhere to sleep (the women in Lis's family do tend to have their babies three weeks ahead of their due dates).
Anyway, things continue to be extremely, insanely hectic. Sorry about the patchy posts of late, but it's been go,go,go on the job search front. If you'd like to see what I've been up to in the rest of my life, you can visit my new professional page, which I launched today.
