2nd big purchase for Baby H

So in general I am a VERY indecisive person.  It takes me forever to make my mind up on nearly everything.  In an earlier post I had mentioned I found the "perfect" baby bedding.  How wrong I was. :)  I changed my mind probably at least 20 times, for each gender.  I know it would've been easier if I would've waited until we knew whether we are having a boy or girl, but time is going to fly by once we know and I wanted to be ready.  I've spent hours each day looking at baby bedding.  It had really become an obsession.  I wanted the "perfect" bedding for our baby and was having a really hard time finding one that wasn't super expensive.  After all, the baby won't even be sleeping in the crib until they're around six months old so spending over a certain amount seemed kind of ridiculous to me.  Especially when we have other furniture and decorations to buy, just for the nursery.

Last night I was looking at Target's website and was determined to find bedding for a boy and girl, so when we found out on Thursday I could buy whichever one.  DwellStudio has a DwellStudio for Target line that is a more affordable option to their higher end baby bedding, but still looks just as good.  Here is a pic of their higher end bedding that costs over $300.


Here is a pic of the bedding we got for Baby H from their more affordable line at Target.  It's extremely similar but over $200 less.  Perfect!


As you can tell from the photo's the bedding will work for either a boy or girl.  I really didn't want a pink nursery if we had a girl.  I don't mind pink clothes and stuff, but I'm not super girly so I couldn't imagine doing a super girly pink and frilly nursery.  (Not that it's bad, for any of you who like that)  I really wanted to do a blue nursery for a boy or girl, and now we can!  As far as the themeless room goes, well, that went out the window.  We decided if we have a boy we'll do a monkey room, and if we have a girl we'll do an owl/bird room. Super exciting!  Now we just have to wait until Thursday to find out what kind of nursery we'll be doing. :)

Our first big purchase for baby

Last night Andrew and I bought a crib for our baby!  It's a 4-in-1 convertible crib so as long as it lasts our child can use it through their teen years.  It's the best deal we found for the kind of crib we wanted so we are extremely excited. :)
