Starting on the furniture.

Babies R Us was having their "Trade-in Event" where you could bring in an old stroller, car seat, crib, etc. and trade it in for a 25% off coupon that could be used towards a brand new stroller, car seat, crib, etc. So we figured we would stalk craigs list for free items to bring into BRU for the trade in event. We found a used car seat for free on craigs list and used it towards our changing table. We ordered the Delta Soho Changing table in white.


My mom has been very generous and told me she would pay for our crib. We picked out the crib from the same collection.

I feel very relieved that I have this picked out so far! Now it is paint time.

My mom is a very bad influence

My mom said she fell in love with a stroller and I just had to have it. She called me to tell me she was picking it up and that since she is buying the baby furniture she would pay half of the stroller as a birthday present to me. I can not turn down a chance to split something so of course I said ok. Well she bought it and send me the link.. umm hello I love this stroller and I am so happy she picked it out! I can't wait to get it.

Papi and Selena

Papi is our original puppy then we got Daisy (not pictured). Selena was being given away because the owners could not take care of her anymore and we had to take her. She looks just like Papi and is on the left.
