Our First Official Baby Purchase


Nothing says, "Happy 5th Anniversary" like making your first major purchase as parents. We decided since BJ had the day off to head over to Babies R Us and check out some furniture for the nursery. We weren't sure we were going to make a purchase, but the time seemed right. We drove to South County so we could have a bigger selection, and discovered there was just one set we could really agree on. We both knew we wanted dark wood...I wanted simple, contemporary lines and BJ wanted something that would convert into a toddler and full size bed down the road. Once we started talking to the sales staff, we discovered we could save some dough with two 15% off coupons and additional 10% by opening a Babies R Us card. We purchased three pieces...the crib, five drawer chest, and changing table combo. We came home and double checked the measurements, and decided which of our spare rooms would be the nursery. Now we're just waiting for the furniture to arrive. Unfortunately, I decided that now I'm now in love with the bedding I originally chose. So...more decisions to make. I just want everything to be perfect!
