Bumbo Seat? Check!

So, yesterday one of Andrew's employees, Lauren, who had a baby just about a year ago, sent Andrew and e-mail asking if we were collecting things for the baby yet, and if we'd like her Bumbo seat, with tray. Andrew then forwarded the e-mail to me, and I responded with an enthusiastic "YES! We're already registered for something like it!". We weren't actually registered for what I thought we were, a Prince Lionheart imitation of the bumbo seat, but that's neither here nor there.

So, Lauren brought the seat into work today for Andrew, and it's in practically brand new condition! Her baby learned how to stand pretty quick, so the seat wasn't very useful for her. One day when she has another baby we'll probably give it right back to her, but until then? It's mine, all mine! (Insert Evil-Laugh Icon Here)

So, for those of you that don't know what a Bumbo Seat is, here's a picture that is respresentative of what we got.
What makes the Bumbo unique is that it's not made of hard plastic. It's actually this heavy duty foamy stuff, like the little balls of foam that used to fill the Stretch Armstrong that got a hole in him. The plastic tray part just snuggles right on to the seat, turning this into a highchair, if we could tie it down to the chair. My second favorite part (the first favorite was that it's foam and not plastic) is the color, the greenish blue is perfect for either a baby girl or a baby boy!

Usually new we'd pay around $30 to $35 for the seat, and another $10 for the tray, but Lauren just gave it to us! She said that if we didn't take it that she'd be unloading it on Craigs List. Looks like spreading the word that we're pregnant is definitely working to our advantage :-D

P.S. THANK YOU LAUREN!

P.P.S. If anyone else has baby things that they want to unload on us, other than: a carseat, stroller, crib, dresser or changing table (because I have those all picked out, and I want them new) then I'm more than happy to take the items off your hands...We'd even be willing to pay for some items, so just let me know!
