365 China Photo: One-A-Day

As the thought of having a baby is becoming more real we decided we better sort of the baby room. We needed to get a bed for the Ayi (nanny) and also somewhere where Canthy’s mum could stay over as the sofa wasn’t a good solution. Ikea was packed and almost every sofa, seat and bed had someone lying on it so you couldn’t see the products for the people. I saw a metal bunk bed which I thought would be a good idea. However Canthy said it looked like a bed in a jail and didnt want her mum to feel like a prisoner. At this point we realised that our 200 sqm (2000sqft) apartment doesn’t seem that big if we now have a baby, a nanny and Canthy’s mum staying sometimes. Canthy felt depressed and wanted to go home as all the people were making her feel claustrophobic and tired. So we headed for the exit and went home to measure up the babies room and think of another solution.
