Our Hands Are Full With Hearts To Match

So it begins...

I found an awesome deal on the crib that I wanted. I had seen it on Walmart.com but it was $190 and Jeff and I just couldn't see spending $400 just on the cribs (no mattresses). So we talked ourselves into the cheaper cribs for $125 and I saved them in the cart to buy later. Later came and the rollback price was bumped and they went to $135 (not bad but it got me looking again). I searched the name of the one I liked online and was able to find a site that offered them at a slightly cheaper price and an extra 20% off sale. So for the two it would be $311 (including shipping). So that made them only $20 more a piece (plus delivered right to our door not in-store pickup). Yeah!! I was happy to finally have that out of the way. I talked to Jeff and ordered them and they are on their way.

Also I am mostly finished with the dresser I have been working on for a year now. My friend, Lisa and James, her hubby, were cleaning out their basement and Lisa wanted to get rid of it and I was quick to say I would love to have it. It needed a little work but nothing serious and I could totally see a gem of a dresser (hoping in my mind at the time for a nursery down the line). I think I started on it last summer and it was a weekend project when I was off work. Then I messed up a step and had to start over. I have filled in dents, sanded it all down, painted it and antiqued it. Now I am back to just needing to clear coat it and it will be done. I hope I can do it right and that the clear coat goes on clear and it will be perfect. I love the dresser and I think it will go great with the cribs and nursery stuff.

Now I will just start brainstorming about ways to decorate. We find out what we are having on August 17th...so that will make decorating decisions easier. We're also considering going to a different doctor then the one Dr L was going to pass us onto. I hope we end up with someone we really like.

Update: We are now having the ultrasound appointment on the 19th as well as our first appointment with Dr B. I know my friend Brooke (who had twins) really liked him and likes the clinic he runs out of, also stating that they typically did an ultrasound at every appointment with her twins since things can change so quickly. I'm looking forward to meeting him but disappointed that I will not be seeing Dr L anymore. I loved her and definitely owe her a thank you before her move to Texas.

Love the crib. You did an awesome job on the dresser! How exciting that you find out the genders soon! Any predictions? I'm guessing two boys...or maybe one of each! :)

Your predictions are actually the same as mine...I'm leaning toward two boys although I kind of hope for one of each.
