Nursery Glider

Happy Hump Day! I hope you are having a fantastic week - the weather here has been great the past few days (a nice feeling after a gloomy week, last week).

We have finally decided on, and ordered a glider for the nursery...I am so excited for its arrival! I will have to be patient (10-12 weeks - bummer) until it is delivered, since we custom-ordered fabric.

I had been searching high and low (online) for the ultimate glider, and thought I had it narrowed down to the first two photos below - both from Pottery Barn Kids. My mom and I made a trip to their store, and when I sat in the chairs, I felt completely disappointed and SO thankful I did not order them online.

The upholstered rocker seemed to be too tall for me, not giving my lower back enough support, and there was ~~not much~~ no cushion to it. The slipcover glider felt a little more comfortable, but still not extremely supportive, and I was not excited. Needless to say, we left the store empty-handed.

We headed to Babies "R" Us to pick out a car seat, and decided to take a stroll through their rocker/glider section. Not expecting to find much of anything but the standard glider, I was excited to come across this baby (below). As soon as I sat down, I was in marshmallow heaven. It was so comfortable, cushy, and was the perfect height for my back...not to mention nearly $500 less than the chairs from Pottery Barn Kids! I wasn't crazy about the fabric, but luckily they had tons of options (just be prepared to wait 10-12 weeks). I am in love with the fabric we ended up going with - the pattern, versatility, and feel are great...can't wait to see it covering the entire chair! I would highly recommend this chair to any mamas-to-be, or even anyone looking for a nice glider. The custom fabric choices are not available online, so you'd have to make a trip to the store (probably a good idea to test it out anyway).
