Setting up for Babe

Currently Craving: H2O

I should really title this post "Setting up for Grandparents"

on saturday we had a quiet day and mostly just stayed on the couch watching the US open of all things. that i watched many rounds of golf this weekend is amazing to me... and now i'm annoyed that we're going into play offs today and i have to work so i won't be able to watch! arg!

but anyway... between all the golf watching we did make it out to La Diff, the modern furniture store here in Richmond to look for somewhere for our parents/guests to sleep once Babe takes over our guest room. the plan all along has been to get a futon or something to put in my office so that when people are here they can take over the office and have a space, and Babe gets her room to herself. Max's sister and bro-in-law have a really nice futon in their basement and we thought we'd try to get something like that.

at La Diff the first thing we checked out was a convertible sofa that Max seemed to like but it didn't even fold out to make a double sized mattress and i kept thinking of how uncomfortable my parents would be on something like that. so then we were sitting down thinking about that and a salesman came over to ask if he could help. when we told him what we were looking for he asked 'is this for kids and the occasional guest or are we talking about grandparents coming for a long weekend?' max told him grandparents and indicated my belly so we all laughed.

so he hooked us up. showed us a really great sofa bed that is made in texas, 4-6 weeks delivery, and when we were on the mattress it felt like a real bed. HOORAY! then he showed us something else for comparison but it didn't even come close. we checked out cribs and kid stuff and lamps but finally decided yes, let's get the sofa and be ready when Babe arrives with somewhere for guests to rest.

so we ordered our new sleeper sofa, with a queen sized mattress that fits in the corner of my office. it is brownish and will arrive in 4-6 weeks. i'll post a pic once it is here and set up.

yay! one thing checked off our list!
