We Did It
Posted by Michael, April 18th, 2012
On Tuesday morning, Rebecca made about 8 million phone calls to various Babies R Us stores. She started out calling New Jersey stores and working outwards. In between calls, she’d vent to me about no one having it. And I certainly didn’t help when I kept recommending different places to call — “call Maryland!” and “call South Carolina!” and “call China!”
Yeah, I’m the dramatic one in this relationship.
After a ton of calls, Rebecca finally got a hit; we finally found the glider! She’ll tell you a bit more about the deets at a later time, but there was a floor model available at a store in my favorite part of New York City: Staten Island. Better known as the place where I was born.
And here she is in all of her glory. I wish I could have taken a wider shot of the room with the glider, but Rebecca had some stuff on the crib that screamed I AM THE GENDER OF THE BABY, so I had to be selective in my shots.
Despite being the floor model, it was in top shape. There was a smudge on the ottoman, but as soon as we got home Rebecca was able to quickly clean it up. God bless micro-suede.

I am so happy you guys found the glider! Also, I had no idea you were from Staten Island! So is my husband (and it’s where we live now).
Me too! So happy for you guys YAY!
Yay!! So glad you found it!
So glad you guys could find it…it’s beautiful & I love it!
Hurray! Babies R Us is horrible about taking things off their shelves! I just hosted a baby shower were her stroller AND crib had both gone out of stock, weeks after she had registered for them.
Glad you got to make a good trip for it. 🙂
I’m so happy you found it. I love it so much and have been seriously considering getting one as well even though my baby is 9 mths old BUT I’m not back at work yet so money is tight. Now I regret not pulling the trigger sooner. O well live and learn.
Yay! You found it! Can’t wait to see how it looks in the nursery!
