The Hallway Nursery, Part Three: RocketBaby Gets a Door!

Easy as 1, 2, 3!

I bring you our most exciting chapter in our series of The Nursery That Was An Office That Was a Library That Was a Hallway: RocketBaby Gets a Door! As you may recall, up to this point we’ve closed off both entries to the nursery with curtains (and in the case of the living room entrance, . . . → Read More: The Hallway Nursery, Part Three: RocketBaby Gets a Door!

The Hallway Nursery, Part Two

So last week I showed you the functional half of our 47-SF converted-from-a-hallway nursery. Here’s the rest of it (sans the rest of the artwork, which RocketMan has neglected to make a priority.).

As you can see, it gets a remarkable amount of sunlight when the curtains are open; we keep them open all day to keep . . . → Read More: The Hallway Nursery, Part Two

The Hallway Nursery, Part One

So I’ve been saying for months that I’d be posting nursery pics, and as RocketMan still hasn’t gotten around to hanging the rest of the artwork, I figured I’d at least show you the changing station. Which, incidentally, is roughly half of the full square footage in the room (I believe the total is about 47 . . . → Read More: The Hallway Nursery, Part One

Product review: The gDiaper

The gdiaper in action.

Update: As of February 9, 2010, we’re still happily using gDiapers. Since she started on solid food, they’ve become much easier to use (poop that stays in one place is good!). We still flush the poopy diapers, although we trash the wet ones; we can’t compost yet in our building. We use one Huggies Overnight at . . . → Read More: Product review: The gDiaper

I’m crowded. Roll over.

After my fabulous baby shower last week (a lovely garden party-themed shindig complete with pasta salad, cake, and the requisite guess-the-candy-in-the-diaper game), I sat on the floor of our sun room, surrounded by boxes of used and new baby stuff, thinking, “Where are we supposed to put the damn baby?”

The Merry Berry Month of May

We need a crib?!

It’s been awhile since I blogged—May has been a busy month! So here’s a quick lowdown on the Rocketfam’s recent activities.

Chapter I: Flight of the Hummingbird

Due to my own idiocy (I deleted the still shots accidentally) I only have one quickie visual of this story, but it’s a fun one. Several weeks back, I came . . . → Read More: The Merry Berry Month of May

Have you seen this rocker?

Yesterday RocketMan and I took a jaunt through the furniture stores in the Mission, and found two rockers that are near-perfect for our needs: small footprint, comfortable, and super-cool looking, to boot. Alas, one cost $1300, and the other, $450. We’re in the market to spend $300-ish at most, although I’d be willing to go higher . . . → Read More: Have you seen this rocker?

Crib or Pack'n'Play? Pack'n'Play or Bassinet? Bassinet or Moses Basket?

The hallway-cum-office-cum-library-cum-nursery

Some things about pregnancy, I’m finding, are awfully fun. Last week I popped—meaning the woman at Golden Gate Meat Company, the receptionist at my office, the co-owner of the market across the street, and a guy in my neighborhood all feel free to ask when I’m due and/or if I’m in the family way. . . . → Read More: Crib or Pack'n'Play?
