It turned out to be a very disappointing weekend with regards to the nursery furniture. The glider/ottoman we were supposed to go look at Friday night sold by the early afternoon and then we were supposed to look at a crib Sunday morning but the woman "forgot" we were coming and wasn't home! On the upside, we spent an hour or two in Babies-R-Us and finished up some of the main registry items. I am sure many of you know how difficult Frank can be when it comes to shopping but he is also extremely opinionated! But we managed to pick out a stroller/car seat combo and the bedding for the crib. Here is a picture of the one we decided on: Graco Quattro Deluxe Travel System in Deco & the matching PackNPlay in Deco:
I also discovered over the weekend that the exact glider we were looking to purchase off craigslist will be 50% off at Babies-R-Us the Friday after Thanksgiving! So Elizabeth Peace and I will be venturing out at 4:30 am the day after Thanksgiving to purchase the Glider! This will be my first Black Friday shopping experience!
Frank and I have decided to hold off on the nursery furniture and look around a bit more to see if there may be a more affordable set that we like. We have decided we like the "chestnut" color or lighter wood with the paint in the nursery but we can't decide if we want to spend the extra money for a Lifetime Crib. So many decisions! In the meantime, since Frank is the electronics expert, I have given him the task of picking out the baby monitor.
Bummer! I hate when that happens :( Don't give up though...I am sure you will find something great!
ReplyDeleteI love the Deco pattern, and the Quattro Deluxe system is what we got, and loved it :)
