We live in a small apartment and it's going to be hard to find room for even a rocking chair in the baby's room. Even gliders take up more space than a rocker. I will be getting comfy cushions though! And maybe down the road for a later baby, we'll get something a little bigger!<br /><br />Jame, Emily, and Katie, thanks for the decoration ideas. We have a little scarecrow decoration on the door right now (my grandma gave it to me some years ago) but it's a little small so it looks a little goofy on a big door. A nice fall welcome sign might be good to add to it.Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-27057072673117364142011-10-14T12:14:18.408-04:002011-10-14T12:14:18.408-04:00This is my first time here - from Conversion Diary...This is my first time here - from Conversion Diary. What a pretty bride you are! <br />Enjoy these last 6 weeks! I had a glider for the first baby and a wooden rocking chair for the 2nd. Both worked nicely. <br /><br />I have a Sign that says "Welcome" on my door in fall colors with three scarecrows (stuffed, 3-D) peeking over the top. I think I got it at Big Lots!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703801223967321729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-3214754879970521582011-10-14T10:20:23.343-04:002011-10-14T10:20:23.343-04:00Good luck with finding a rocking chair!

My parents have one at home which I love, and judging from the amount of baby pictures taken in that chair, I'm guessing they did too. ^_^Alliehttp://hereisthechurch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-4544898806339701112011-10-14T10:19:15.051-04:002011-10-14T10:19:15.051-04:00#7 - Don't get a real rocking chair. I was jus...#7 - Don't get a real rocking chair. I was just like you, I wanted the real, beautiful wooden rocking chair. When my mother in law offered to get me a nursing chair - and a lazboy at that, I declined and went with the wooden rocking chair. I've regretted that decision so many times, lol, because I can't afford a lazboy (but have since gotten a handmedown one that I use for nursing). I don't even like the gliders (also got a handmedown). While nursing, you really need comfy, smushy sides, so baby doesn't bump head. You also need to be able to recline. And rock. Lazboy is the way to go, in my opinion. You can always find a nice wooden rocker for the front porch (or any room) later, but I would not get one just for nursing, because I cannot nurse in that wooden rocker. =(Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975746279957689529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-5479314945921221222011-10-14T08:56:26.642-04:002011-10-14T08:56:26.642-04:00This might sound lame but I like the flat scarecro...This might sound lame but I like the flat scarecrow decorations my mom puts on my front door at home.

I didn't mind sleeping in that chair with him :) The second baby...well, all rules went out the window with him! <br /><br />In my opinion (even though you didn't ask for it...sorry!), whatever you choose...just choose one you loooove and has plenty of breastfeeding room, if you know what I'm sayin'. Oh! And one that you can catch a nap or two in between feeding and snuggling. That's always nice too :)<br /><br />But then again, that was just me and my crazy sleeping habits... Whatever works, right?Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319545333588899129noreply@blogger.com
