One piece of furniture down...

One major accomplishment today - the crib has been ordered! They said we should expect for it to arrive within 2-4 weeks, but err on the side of 2 weeks instead of 4. WOW! We're going to break down the bed that is currently in that room, and try to get it sold ASAP.

I stopped at TJ Maxx Home Goods today to just browse the aisles, and came across a picture that very closely resembled one we saw at Precious Cargo. It included all of the colors we want for the nursery - browns and greens. Why I didn't just buy it, I don't know - it was only a measly $8, while the one at the baby store was close to $100! When we went there this afternoon, I realize it was literally the same picture, just framed differently. I guess I know where I will be going tomorrow...

It's starting to become a *little* bit more real.

Cribs, Dressers, Accessories...Oh My!

We made it over to a local baby store this afternoon to check out their selection. A few friends have told me how much they absolutely love this store: Precious Cargo, so we had to drop in, even if it was just going to be to run in and run out.

Well, let me tell you, it was like the baby heaven gates opened up and the baby angels were shining down upon us when we walked through that door. Neither one of us has seen so many adorable baby accessories in one place - blankets, paintings, picture frames, stuffed animals - you name it, they had it.

Needless to say, we walked out with a couple brochures of cribs that we are interested in - partially thinking that we could find a cheaper price online and wanted to do our research. Turns out, they have the best price we can find. Now, someone just needs to buy the Queen bed that is occupying Smyrna Baby's room, and we will be all set! Hopefully Craigslist will come through for me once again...
