I was ready to order the Moffii Oberon cradle with the spiral frame and OMG catastrophe - they aren't doing that frame now, the cradle itself is now in its second generation ... and the frame is now a wooden one OMG I cried and cried and cried - it really felt like the baby will have NOTHING nice ... which of course is not true. He will have all nice things, and just what he needs, and the cradle is still the best, and the frame we are getting now is more versatile, portable, reusable and sustainable (eco-friendly too), so all over, it IS the best choice, and despite being pregnant I am not irrational .... I accept the situation is not bad at all. I ordered the cradle too. Plus sheets and all that. We are all set.
[Since then there has been a delay in shipment - cradle should get to us by end of August ... oooooh ... hope it all works out!! China and the floods are the problem .... poor Chinese manufacturers have managed to make our baby's crib even with the water, bless them. Moffii's service is very reassuring - he updated me and pre-empted me from sending him hysterical hormone-fuelled emails by keeping me in the loop, and he's also said he'll send me an extra mattress/sheets - which does help. Iain's parents have paid for it all, which is a load of our minds!]
We went to Ware on the 12th, Saturday and ordered the sofa. It was a nice shop really, the chaps who work there were easy going matter of fact types, they let us get on with it, gave us fabric swatches, offered to show us other sofas in the same fabric as any of our 'maybes'. We went through the swatches impatiently bus systematically, and narrowed it down immediately. Being particular has advantages! The list was down to 2 by the end of the process, and our hearts went out to the one we chose - we liked the other one in our minds, but didn't love it, want it - and our final choice we think is practical, we think we love it, we think we want it in our home.
So all is well. Just gotta wait for it all to come.
