It's all coming together

I finally feel like some of the preparations for baby are coming together. This week, I picked up our stroller (and all of the attachments) and our dresser/changer is supposed to be delivered today. Also, my mom arrived in town with all of our bedding, window treatments, etc...so we can finally set up the nursery! I've even bought a few pieces of art for the walls. I can't wait to see how everything comes together.

Ryan and I have just begun assembling the millions of things that baby will need. Last weekend, I put together the cutest little bouncer (very easy assembly). Last night, Ryan assembled our stroller (also easy...just attach the wheels). This weekend we will work on hanging curtains, assembling the dresser/changer (hopefully), and maybe even assembling the pack n play! I can't wait to get everything out of the boxes to see what these things look like!

Cribs

Ryan and I were so excited to buy a crib and get it set up this weekend. We made plans, cleaned out the "nursery," and went out to lunch before heading to the Super Target to make our big purchase. We had decided on a very simple espresso-colored crib that can convert into a toddler bed and eventually a full-sized bed so our baby can have this bed for basically her entire life (or at least her entire life under our roof).

Once we made it to the baby section of Super Target however, our plans were thwarted. Apparently Super Target still displays the model of the crib but they no longer carry that model in stores (online only). Whaaa?? You mean we don't get our crib today? Frustrated, Ryan and I hurriedly said thanks anyway and left the store. When we got home, I checked the Target and Babies R Us websites. Babies R Us also carries the crib actually had it listed for a cheaper price (well, it was 11 cents cheaper but cheaper none the less).

I called our local Babies R Us, and while they didn't have the crib in stock they did say they could order it from their warehouse to the store...no delivery/shipping costs. We decided to go with this option, so the crib should arrive in 7-14 days. I'm hoping it gets in sometime this week so we can set it up this weekend...but we will just have to wait and see.
