So a couple weeks ago we decided we need more seating in our living room. We've only had one couch since we moved in in August but as I'm getting wider I kept wanting more and more of the couch space. So we started looking around Craigslist to try and find something decent. Brady really wanted a recliner, and so did I really, because it was great when we had one with Lily. I felt like we needed another couch, too, for laying out purposes. We found a few choices and emailed them but then, for a week, no one responded. (Sometimes I feel like people on craigslist don't really want to sell their stuff - they just want to tease people with it). Anyway, one of the ladies contacted us, finally, after I sent a second message and went to see the couches. They were in West Virginia, about an hour away, so we rented a U-Haul (just in case) and drove out there. It was both of our first times to West Virginia so we can cross that state off our list. The lady was wanting to sell her microfiber recliner and couch (with a recliner on each end) for $300 originally, lowered the price to $250 when she emailed back and then when Brady asked her if $250 was her best price, she lowered it to $200 because we'd drive so far for them. We brought them home and have been loving the extra space! And the recliners! I looked up how to clean microfiber on Pinterest so I gave them a scrubbing and a fabreeze-ing and they are good to go. Here are pictures of them:

It has been really great, too, since I've been sick that I can lean back without being completely horizontal because I'm at the stage in pregnancy where breathing air gives me heartburn. It also helps stretch out my stomach and baby bump so they aren't so cramped, thus worsening the heartburn/acid reflux feeling. I think we'll be keeping these for a while!
