Realities

We are making serious strides towards reality this week. Really Little B will be here really one day sooner than later. Brett and I went Wednesday to Woodland Furniture, the craziest and largest furniture store on this planet. I truly thought midgets should start swinging from the ceiling, and they should play carnival music throughout this whole town (which was the size of the store, not lying). It was like nothing else. We went looking for baby furniture and left exhausted and just overwhelmed. I was not IN LOVE with anything I saw. The prices were good, but still more than I wanted to spend for a crib that I wasn't IN LOVE with. We did find an amoire though, I am sure we will get. So back to the drawing board I went last night when I decided to re-google the original "traditional" crib I looked at. (this was after brett veto'd my round crib idea). So after he broke my round crib heart and I didn't find anything at Woodland, the re-google began on the original unique crib where all my ideas came streaming from. I found it again and I finally decided to BUY it this morning!


I couldnt be happier. This is where it all really started and of course I wound up back where I started. My mom and sister graciously offered to buy the crib for little B. Now we have to find mattress... this is the easy part. Foam! When did this world begin to offer thousands and thousands of cribs? For all my friends without kids, this would be one piece of advice: brace yourself. I won't lecture about anything else. Too many decisions, too many choices. Where is made, what its made of, how long will it last, to have traditional vs. convertible crib, color, stain, non-toxic finishes, size of slats, ah!!!!!! ok, I'm done. Good luck to the rest of you! I'm NEVER buying another crib again.


I ALSO got into my reality and bought my diaper bag I found in Atlanta at Nordstroms!



And I am obsessed with this bag bc I didn't want one that was too bulky, trendy, or looked like I had cargo pants made into a bag. Ultimately I just didn't want a diaper bag that looked like a diaper bag.It has 2 bottle spots (or 1 bottle and 1 phone or 1 bottle and 1 mom drink). I got it in this ivory color as shown. (is darker in reality).

Last, we have Little B at the top of a waiting list for his nanny (waiting on the August cancellations that we KNOW are coming). We are pursuing one other option we really hopes works out, but we have a plan! I love being a planner.

Really proud of my accomplishments this week. Now Kim (our awwwwesssomme) cleaning lady comes Monday and she and I are getting DOWN on some stuff. Bleaching the walls is top priority, next curtains need to be washed, and other fun deep Spring cleaning. Yah KIM!!!!
