If you buy a crib from Walmart does that give you a free pass to build it while drinking a beer?

After my panic post, some oscar worthy crying and some emotional shoe shopping, B realized it was time to take a big step in the world of Plankton parents. We did what any American family does and get on the internet and order a crib. From Walmart.  YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO SAY IT. I KNOW.

Here’s the thing: I trust internet strangers a stupid amount. Like if you have a cool blog and look pretty and clean and know what you’re talking about, I’ll trust you more than my bank. DON’T TELL B THAT. And Young House Love is one such blog where I get lots of house/design/decorating advice. And by “advice” I mean I copy what they do and take the credit for myself. So the fine couple who run that fine blog got this crib, well a very similar one (that was sold out because I’m not the only one trusting internet strangers). They are super into the earth and environment and being chemical free and riding to work on ponies like I am. Well, like I try to be and maybe was for 10 days when Oprah told me about the trash circle in the ocean and I cried about the sick baby seals. But then I kind of forgot. Whatever. So when these bloggers showed me their research and their reasonings and their budget, I said yes please, sign me up for a Walmart crib. I’m an American Asian after all. Kind of.

And here it is. And here is B building it. And here is B building it with a beer even though I told him that it’s not ok to build your child’s sleeping place while drinking a beer. Then I remembered that I ordered a crib from Walmart and who am I to speak?

The savvy reader will notice the dresser was also a blatant YHL copy as well. I can't help it.

Pray those screws were righty tighty

After a solid 8 minutes of sweat and tears. A crib was built.

This is what Walmart and a beer get you.

Stay tuned for more details about the nursery going forward. I do have a plan. And those curtains are not part of it. I mean come on, I always have SOME sort of plan. And it usually involves glitter. B told me no on the glitter though. So that set me back.

But B did not say no to hearts and MOD PODGE. So I made Planky a craft right quick. Whenever I hear this Green Day song I think of Plankton. I usually cry. He usually kicks. I choke and cry more. It’s a whole thing and I’d love to be the person in the car next to me watching this scene.  BUT I’M STILL AN AWESOME PUNK ROCK BITCH AND I COMPLETELY BLAME HORMONES BECAUSE PUNK ROCKERS DON’T CRY THANK YOU.

I made Plankton a craft.

That’s Plankton’s lullabye. (tear)

We’re excited for him to be here. Although B is worried about his other baby.
