PICKING OUT THE FURNITURE FOR THE BABY'S ROOM

One weekend Jake and I took a drive to Babies R Us as I was feeling much better and wanted to get out of the house since I had such cabin fever from being stuck in the house pretty much my whole first trimester. While we were there we decided to start our baby registry and start making decisions on larger items such as car seats, strollers and the baby's furniture for his room. It was really nice because they had such a nice selection of furniture to choose from. Jake and I both decided we liked the same bedroom set so it made it really easy! We both really liked the dark wood finish and the finish we chose is called Espresso and the name of the collection we chose is called Babi Italia Pinehurst. The collection looks as classy as the name sounds! We loved how the crib can be turned into a toddler bed when the baby is a toddler and then it can be used as a day bed or regular bed as he gets older! How far cribs have come today...it's amazing! He just better like this bed until he is a teenager! We did not like the idea of purchasing a changing table as we felt it was kind of a waste of money because it can only be used for a short period of time so we opted to choose a dresser/changer combo and feel that he will be able to use this for years to come as well. We also decided that we would like to get him the 5 drawer dresser so that he has more space for clothing.

So far we only have the crib set up in his bedroom. My parents purchased the crib, picked it up at the store for us and delivered it to our house! What service I tell you! The crib was their big gift to us and I am so thankful to have such great parents to help us out. Of course I could not wait to have Jake put it together so he did so a couple days after it was dropped off. I am really looking forward to getting the rest of the furniture soon and getting his room all put together! Jake's parents and grandparents have talked about maybe purchasing the two dressers for us so that would be really nice! Below is a picture of the bedroom set (That is not the decor we chose though in the picture...see previous post for a picture of the room decor) and a video of how the bed works (JUST BE SURE TO GO TO MY MUSIC PLAYER AT THE BOTTOM OF MY BLOG AND PAUSE THE SONG PLAYING OR IT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS TRYING TO LISTEN TO THE VIDEO.
