7w6d - Furniture

Well things are going...I spent the last week in Champaign, IL doing some training for work. It was ok, but I'm certainly glad to be home. Today we decided to go baby furniture shopping. We've been to Babies R' Us before and we weren't extremely happy with their selection, so we thought we would try and find some other stores. In St. Louis, we found Goodnite Rooms in Valley Park and Treasure Rooms in Chesterfield. Treasure Rooms was pretty big and we found a few options (definitely better than the selection at BRU). Then I think we found a really good one at Goodnite Rooms. Here's a link to the manufacturer's website:

We are looking at the glacier color (white) and we would probably get the crib, dresser/changer combo, and the chest. What I like about the crib is the drop-gate. I like the idea of drop side cribs since I'm shorter but I hate the fact that they are unsturdy. The drop gate is extremely sturdy and yet it still gives me the ability to reach into the crib since I'm shorter. We also really like the design of this set. We'll definitely keep looking and aren't 100% set on anything yet.

I was surprised to learn that most places it takes about 12 weeks to order the furniture and another couple of weeks to deliver and assemble. So I'm thinking we will probably decide on something by around 20 weeks which should give us enough time to order, etc plus then we can pick out the bedding and paint before the furniture comes.

In other news, the nausea is still here which I'll take as a good sign for now. Pregnancy brain is also still here...David has taken my driving privledges away. On Wed, July 1, David and I are headed to Dallas, TX to visit Danielle and Travis until Sun, July 5. I'm super excited for a mini-vacation and hoping that the nausea and sick feelings will stay here in St. Louis. I will miss Buddy though...he's going to Grandpa's. Ok, I think this post is long enough. I'll post more when I get back...
