**Crib**

If you will remember we bought a crib for the baby when I first became pregnant. I blogged about it here. Well, come to find out, we couldn't get the replacement hardware for it because the only company that makes it discontinued it, so we have been on the look out for another one. When I was on a women's retreat with my church last November in Etowah, Tn and while checking out the town, I found a small discount crib place called B&B. So today we went back up there to see what they had for a reasonable price (under $100). We found a beautiful 4 in 1 forever crib in white for $125. We didn't really want to spend that much but it was so beautiful and such a good deal we couldn't pass it up. Once we started talking to the lady about the crib there was only one problem, they were still waiting on the metal part the holds the mattress up and they really were not sure if it was going to come in at all because they had called the company numerous times. So I started thinking about the other crib that we had bought earlier and wondered if the metal part from it would fit the crib that we wanted at the B&B. So we went back home and got that part and took it back up there (yeah, quite a bit of driving) and sure enough it fit! So we told the lady that we would take it and began to disassemble it, when she told us that since it was not a "complete" crib (meaning it was originally missing that piece that we had) she would sell it to us for $75!! I couldn't believe it!! I was tickled pink!! Once we got home, I looked the crib up online because I wanted to know how good of a deal we got. I just went to the first listing I found at wal-mart.com (they also carry the crib at Target) for this price. That's like $200 off!! Woo-Hoo!! So we brought it home and set it up, and eventhough it's a little big, its beautiful!! Here's a picture of it once we got the sheet and everything on it:

I've been nesting for a couple of weeks now. I guess its because I am having a girl this time, everything has to be in order for the princess to arrive, LOL.
