My first baby purchase

Before you go freaking out, NO, I'm not pregnant. Furthermore, I've always held the belief that you should never buy anything for a baby you're not yet carrying. It's bad juju. Well, my friends, last week changed all that. I was reading Sonja's blog about her preparation for her arriving quadruplets and she mentioned that she found a hedgehog mobile. I love hedgehogs. I had one in college. His name was Brillo and was the funniest little animal. Not too fun to play with as they're spiky and nocturnal so every time I put him in his ball to roll around the room he would just poop and then fall asleep. But he was still entertaining and I miss him dearly.

So when Sonja mentioned her hedgehog mobile I immediately began searching for it online. I found it here but unfortunately they had no bedding to go with it. So I started my search again. And then I found it. The absolute most perfect nursery bedding and accessories one could hope for. It's called Spike and Buzz and its made by a UK company called Bed-e-byes. I instantly fell in love and told Brandon that I had to purchase it (once we moved to Connecticut of course). He agreed that it was cute and didn't mind that I'm about to spend roughly $350 on a baby we have yet to conceive. But it's totally worth it. I'm going to buy the Room in a Box which comes with all the accessories. What's even better is that it's gender neutral! I've never been so excited to purchase something in all my life.

So there you have it. I have probably just jinxed myself for eternity but who cares. I'm going to have a baby, damnit, and that baby is going to sleep amongst hedgehogs and bumblebees. I wouldn't accept anything less for my little munchkin.
