I had my appointment with the nursery adviser on saturday at john lewis and thought I'd report back that I didn't leave the shop until 8 hours later!!!!
When we left the nursery department, I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, it took three people and a trolley to carry everything out to the cab, whilst I walked along behind. We had to walk through the shop so everyone was watching and gasping at how much we had bought - it was FANTASTIC!!!! I only wish it had been lots of designer clothes, but hey, breast pads are a close second!!
The other major decision I made was on a pushchair!! I fell in love with my bugaboo......they only make singles - so we bought TWO! I want them to make me a double too, but it doesn't look like that will happen before these two arrive.......so we have yet to buy a double buggy, but I'm making progress with that too.
Anyone who is having one baby, should seriously look at a bugaboo, they are the coollest thing I've ever seen!!! I realise its slightly extravagent to buy two, but once I'd tried it I had to have it!!
The nursery adviser (Robert) at John Lewis was brilliant and again I'd advise this to anyone. Dh and I were still in a bit of denial and neither of us had bought a single thing and we needed pushing into action. Robert was fantastic, he didn't try to sell us anything, in fact he talked me out of buying a lot of things and they price-match anything you can get cheaper elsewhere.
The Adviser just walks round and goes through things logically so you don't forget anything and you say yes I'll have that and that and he walks round with a trolley (or three in our case!) and organises everything. Its the most exciting day I've had since I found out I was pregnant!! It was just like being on Pretty Woman!!!
I was seriously in need of a foot rub at the end of it though I can tell you! I'm glad I did it now before I get any bigger!!!
love nikola.xx
) know any good welders who could turn your two into one, or is that just a bit rediculous by far?
