new slipcover for new baby?
dorothee's karlanda has seen her through one pregnancy. here's to another?
"We bought this beautiful Karlanda couch, my dream orange couch, in 2003, and a few months later I got pregnant.
The last 3 months of my pregnancy, I had to live in my couch and did not have the right to get up. So I literally lived in this couch : I was watching TV, reading, eating, receiving friends from my couch. I believe the couch suffered from this intimacy as he was never the same after that, all stained from my numerous meals (ever seen a pregnant woman with a belly twice the size of a bowling ball eating?), and smashed from my overweight (no comment).
Then, baby came and we continued living with the couch, feeding baby on the couch (ever heard of new born backward surge?), changing baby on the couch, long night with sick baby on the couch (did I mention the vomiting period?).
Then we moved abroad for a year and left our couch to my brother-in-law and his girlfriend who had recently moved in together, so I have no idea what the couch went through during this period (probably a few parties and a few buckets of beer).
Few months ago we came back to France, got our couch back, and moved in to a new place. Our daughter is now almost 3 year old, she loves to eat cookies and yoghourt on the couch, she loves drawing on the couch, she loves wearing her favorite shoes on the couch, and we are having difficulties with toilet learning... So here is what the couch looks like today:
Plus, orange is definitely not fashion anymore, and the slipcovers are all stained and used... Lastly, we are planning to have another baby. Wouldn't it be time for a brand new slipcover for our couch? Wouldn't you want our new baby to have its own new slipcover to make brand new memories out of it ?
Don't you think?" - Dorothee
