Wow, six weeks left until my due date! This is crazy! I feel like there is still so much to get done and yet I can't specifically name everything. One thing that I'm able to cross off my list is the crib set. Back in May I had mentioned that we had already picked out the crib bedding. While the monkey idea is still really cute it just didn't seem quite girly enough for me. I had thought I wanted to keep it neutral for use of future babies, but really who am I kidding? Monkeys were more of a boy theme. :) David was at first resistant to the idea of getting a different set, because he said he didn't see anything he liked better.
A few weeks ago Babies R Us got a few new sets in. I think he's gotten used to the idea of a girl that he decided there were others out there he did like as much or more then the monkeys. We looked around and picked out a few we thought would be good, but couldn't settle on anything.
Last week the ladies at my work gave me a baby shower (it was actually a bridal and baby shower combo since another girl was getting married). I was telling them how we were still deciding on a crib set. One of my coworkers, who had a baby girl back in February, had actually bought a set at Pottery Barn Kids last fall, but ended up going with a different theme. She had bought the set on clearance so she was unable to return it. It was all brand new with tags still attached and in their bags. She offered to let me take a look at it and see if it would work for us.
A couple of days later she brought it in and I thought it was adorable! She let me take it home and see how it fit with the room. I set it all up and showed David. He loved it! I did too, but I was feeling hormonally wacky that day so I asked a couple of other people's opinions and I decided that this was the one. My parents offered to buy it for us as gift for their granddaughter. (Thanks Mom and Pop!)
Here is the set up:

Love the crib set, Kathy! I'm praying baby turns!
Thank you! We're almost done decoarting the room. It just needs a little something on one of the walls and we're done. I'll post about it as soon as we're finished.
