We bought our nursery furniture!

I decided that I wanted white nursery furniture for our baby. I thought about doing a dark espresso color which was nice, but I felt like the white went better with all the bedding I've looked at, and white seems more baby-like to me. So I found this great crib at Babies R Us. Of course I've been reading the Baby Bargains book where all the brands are rated based on parent reveiws, complaints, etc so I made sure to do my research on all the different brands. I found the crib I liked at Babies R Us and even went to Buy Buy Baby in Rockville and Great Beginnings in Gaithersburg. They had tons of cribs that were nice but I really didn't like anything better than the one I found at Babies R Us. However, Great Beginnings was so fun to look through since they had all the furniture set up and semi-decorated walls to give nursery decorating ideas. I did get some cute ideas on how to decorate. Right now, I'm thinking polka dots! So, I continued my crib research, read every review online possible and decided this was the one. When I went online to look at it again it was actually marked down $50! So I decided I needed to buy it now while I could save some money. Aaron and I went this weekend and purchased the crib and the matching low dresser that we will use as a changing table. We ended up getting a great deal on the whole set. It's supposed to arrive in 7-10 days. So now the plan for this weekend is to clear out the "office" and move all that furniture into the guest room that will now become the guest room/office so that the nursery furniture has somewhere to go. After that, we will wait to find out the gender and then begin the painting, decorating and shopping adventures!
