Nursery Disaster

Okay so whoever said putting together a nursery was easy! Shawn and I went to Spokane yesterday to attend the temple. It is such a beautiful place and we really needed it. Then we went baby shopping all day. What a drag. It was so much fun to shop for the little girl, but it was very tiring. By the end of the day, both Shawn and I were on each other's nerves and we had gotten into a fight over the dumbest thing ever; what color of crib should we buy? We went to every possible baby store in Spokane. We spent a total of eight hours looking at baby furniture and accessories. Well we had finally decided on a crib and we had called for help for someone to come by and take our crib up to the front to pay for it. In the meantime, a random lady came by and told us to not buy our crib and other accessories in the store because you can get way better deals online. She said she knew from experience. We took her word for it and left Spokane without a single piece of furniture. We did however have a butt load of clothes we bought. Well, as soon as we got home at 10:00 last night we went to the school and got online to purchase our items. Come to find out, our exact crib we wanted to buy in the store was $70 more online. What? Thanks a lot lady. We were fuming by this time. But we did eventually shop around to other stores and we found what we were looking for. By one in the morning, we had purchased our life savings away. Ha hA.... We can't wait for the furniture to arrive and our bedding too to put together our nursery for our sweet little girl. Stay tuned for future pics of our nursery. I have so many cute ideas in mind and I hope it all turns out how I have it planned in my head. If any one has a place for me to shop for a travel system- a car seat and stroller combo, please let me know. That is one of the hardest things for Shawn and I to pick out. We are pretty picky when it comes to that item.

Wow, I guess never listen to strangers! Dang it! When I read "nursery diaster" I thought nursery in church. Made me a little nervous at first! :)

Awww. I am so darn jealous of you and your baby shopping! I am glad that you found some good stuff though. That is exciting and I can't wait to see your nursery because I know it is going to be super cute!
