Baby Steps: Take a seat

Published: 2010-11-04 20:01:00
Updated: 2010-11-04 20:36:00

We have a new addition in the Bowley household this week – two in fact. They are big and brown. The dogs absolutely love them. Give up?

It’s a new set of couches for our living room!

We talked about it for awhile before we found a deal we just couldn’t pass up. Three decent-sized dogs means we have to be pretty picky about the things we bring into the house that can’t be locked away in a closet or put high up on a table top.

The main purpose for the purchase was to add some life and seating space to our small living quarters for my parents to visit later this month. It’ll be the first time we’ve all been together since this whole baby-making thing took a turn. Mom and Dad have been nothing but supportive this whole time. And I love them for always sticking by their ‘little girl’ and their fairly new son-in-law.

This will also be their first time meeting Frazier – the Great Dane mix we picked up a couple months back. I talked about him in one of my previous posts. So far, I think they enjoy being the proud grandparents of three mutts but we all hope we can add to that soon!

Christine is an associate producer at WRAL-TV, which includes research for 5 On Your Side and producing the 10 p.m. weekend newscasts on Fox50. She lives with her husband and three dogs. Christine is chronicling her experience as she and her husband struggle with infertility. Find her here on Fridays.
