"Nobody puts Baby in a corner" (Dirty Dancing 1987)
Ciara's 7am on Sunday Musings
So that's why Team Warner has found a new place to live where baby gets to have,-gasp!!!- a nursery!! This new development happened in the last 48 hourrs, but leases have been signed and a two-bedroom apartment with a real dining room, laundry room and not teeny kitchen has our name on it. Its in a neighborhood very close to us called comically enough Beverly Hills Adjacent. So there's that. Its conveniently located near La Cienega Park, Nick's diner and one branch of our family friend's business (Geoff's favorite) Hoagies and Wings. We are excited and already on the move. We will be in it by next weekend and fully moved out of here by June 15, just in time for a visit from Geoff's mom Nancy and her husband Butch for our annual her birthday, their anniversary, mother/son and daughter-in law reunion. The house is located on South Bedford Ave..the address to come...
As far as babies in corners go, it turns out my parents neglected to set up my crib until we moved from NYC to LA to sign a record deal when I was 2. The fashionable alternatve was letting me sleep in a padded dresser drawer!! I tought this was "interesting" ( read...what were my well-educated non-hippy parent thinking!) when while giving my notice to Jenny Pachulski, our 80 some odd old current landlordess, she launched into a diatribe on the ridiculousness of modern baby care and how a padded dresser drawer was all that one needed. WARNING: this does not mean that I will be following this entire line advice and we still plan to have a registry that I am sad to admit will include a crib.
Stay tuned for Baby gender and 20 week detailed structural ultrasound results THIS friday! AND more pictures of our growing family (my belly).
PS: Today's picture is of an all fabric large scale portrait done of me 5 years ago by a friend and amazing artist based in Seattle, Margot Lovinger. This was one of two. One is owned by a collector out east, and after 5 years over her mantle-this one that I love- was sold to a collector in Northern California. Please check out her website: margotlovinger.com to see more of her great work.
XOXO,
