Let the spending begin!!! Today we made our first purchases as parents. The first was at Burlington Coat Factory in the baby dept. A few onesies and a pair of tiny tiny shoes. I think my thumb fits in there?!?! Crazy.
On the left is the bedding (that we did purchase!!!), the pillows we didnt get (but I want) show the color and detail better. We got a 6 piece set that includes the sheet, dust ruffle, quilt, diaper stacker, bumper and window valance. All for the price of the 4 piece ugly sets that you can get at BRU. I was excited. We also got the mobile. How cute is that???
The we went to Babies R Us. I dont know why we do this on Saturdays, the place is a zoo. We purchased nothing...but we found a crib we like. But we didnt purchase just yet. But here it is so you can see what we are thinking of.
From that Zoo we went to Baby USA on a whim. Thinking we couldnt afford anything there, we would just look and see. So we go in and the first cribs we see are about $600 and I am a bit disappointed, thinking we are wasting time, I am tired and irritable and I just want to get into some comfy shoes.
Finally we see a crib we like. Its on sale...it is similar to the one pictured here but it is more mission style. No arch in the back of the bed. Its cheaper than the one at Babies R Us. But I dont love it like I love the Babies R Us one. So we keep looking. They have crib bedding, strollers, etc...so we are just looking.
By the way, have you seen little boy crib bedding. Its awful. Its "in your face sports" or really really active prints where I dont think the baby could sleep having to see all that. Here is an example of what I mean about bad boy crib bedding...

Of course its very BOY-ish...but its also too much. So Scotty and I were going back and forth over what to get for the crib. I like stuff like the Classic Pooh...or something simple and do accents throughout the room. He wanted "balls to the walls' sports. But there was NOTHING that we agreed on at BRU or Target or anywhere on the internet that we have looked at and agreed upon.
So the Gods must have been looking out for us today. We found crib bedding that we BOTH agreed on. Its very classic looking, and it has sports...and cars, planes, etc...but its not overly gaudy.

I LOVE what you guys picked out! Definitely not too overbearing. I think some of the boy stuff out there is just too much too. And the crib...very elegant looking. I really like the arch-it makes the entire look. Can't wait to see it all put together!
