Fluffy and pink wreath
Ele loves wreaths. I know from her blog.
So when we got a big box last week with the word "wreath" on it, I was quite excited. And holy cow, what a wreath! At first I laughed imagining the image Dav and I must give for someone to see this pink fluffiness and think, "my god, I must get that for them!" I mean, it's a bit loud as far as wreaths go. But it's actually a perfect wreath for a Burning Man household.
But the pink. Shhhhh. It's that color that Dav is avoiding ever since we knew Gargle is a girl. I think Ele is brilliant as this wreath can be the perfect funky decor for Gargle, but can slide into our household under the guise of being Burning Man. Since Gargle won't have a room for quite some time, the wreath is proudly on our front door (which is indoors so it won't get damaged).
Speaking of Gargle's room...she's gonna sleep with us for, I dunno, as long as babies sleep with parents. Coming from Japan, I just can't imagine placing a tiny month-old baby in a crib all by themselves in a lonely room. That's the plan anyhow. Our bed is already pretty crowded with us and 2 cats that stretch out like surfers when sleeping.
Speaking of beds, we upgraded from a futon to a top-of-the-line Tempurpedic mattress and pillows! It's heaven! I'll do a separate post on that later as it deserves one.

My thesis advisor gave birth during my second to last semester of college. She and her husband had their baby sleep in a little extension that they could attach to their bedframe. It allowed her to keep the baby close and pull her over to nurse in the night without having to get up, but it also allayed her husbands fears about rolling over and squashing the baby.
I *heart* the wreath, by the way. Pink fluffiness rules! (Maybe this means I'm the Burning Man sort?)
my mother-in-law gave us this same wreath for xmas this past year. she was soooo delighted with herself. jenny wanted to keep it up all year.
How sweet of you to post this! You know, I came THIS close to getting you guys a bright orange wreath b/c I had a feeling Dav might not be terribly excited over the pink, but I decided orange might look too Halloween-y. Actually, tell him he's lucky b/c they do make a pastel pink one with a pink pacifier hanging from it- but that didn't seem like you two. So you are absoultely right about my intentions! :) In addition to announcing BABY GIRL LIVES HERE, it does look like something one might wear at Burning Man.
