show & tell: Pimp my Pram (baby-related, so please feel free to skip if you're feeling sensitive)

Today my very dear husband made the first baby purchase (I'm all of 7w4d, paranoid about loss, and probably will not buy anything infant-related for as long as I can get away with it).

A vintage pram. And it is solid. He paid $40 at a swap meet for it.

The plan is to hot rod the whole thing. Black interior and black paint with a flame paint job. Shine up the chrome, add mags, etc. People are going to go nuts when they see it.

I went crazy when he showed it to me. Won't it be tres adorable? Highly impractical, yes, but who cares? DH said that his colleague and his wife used one in place of a bassinet, which they liked because they could bounce it up and down gently when their baby was fussy. So maybe we'll be able to do that, too.

Gosh, was DH ever proud of himself. As I pushed the pram from the truck up to our suite, he kept looking back at it, and then at me, smiling.

Shortly afterward, we giggled about how, if the Ninja is a boy, we will have newborn photos taken of him sporting a mohawk and a LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS t-shirt.

Even if this all goes to shit, it is a beautiful memory.
