Catch-up not Catsup

I have been quite remiss in not mentioning that we selected our Baby Furniture this week. On Sunday and Monday (this last Monday was Labor Day) we looked at the stores in our area and on Monday decided on a brand, Baby's Dream. The store we found it at is Baby and Kid's World in San Dimas. On Monday, we decided on the Infinity Dropside Crib. Unfortunately, this model is no longer shown on the Baby's Dream website, but it is a Dropside Crib version of the Infinity Crib. If you can imagine the styling from the second, but with the symmetrical look of the first, then you have pictured it. Or you could be patient and come see the crib in a few weeks. Ours was the last Infinity Dropside Crib in the store and they are not getting any more because it is a discontinued product. We picked it out as the store was closing for the day (early hours for Labor Day), but another baby furniture store was still open for an hour, and they were selling the Infinity Combination Dresser and Changing Table at a special Labor Day sale price. However, when we arrived we learned that they did not have the Honey color in stock and to order it would take 8 to 12 weeks. We left the store dismayed, but called Baby and Kid's World to see if they had the Combo in stock. We were ready to pay a little more to have the Combo now. It turns out they had one of them in stock (2 for 2!). When we asked for the price, we found out that their regular price matched the Labor Day Sale price we were so eager to get. The bad news was that they were closed for the day, but the good news was that I was able to pick it up Tuesday afternoon AND it was discounted 10% more because of a coupon from Pomona Valley Hospital's Maternity Orientation tour. So much for holiday sales!

In other Baby news, last night was our last Childbirth Education class. There wasn't very much information left to cover, more than there would have been had last week's class not ended early. However, even with some information left over to finish, the class ended early after a very long break in the middle. I'm not sure why the first and last class had so little information, while the middle two were dense with content, but I guess that's how the course is designed.

This weekend is our co-ed shower. Two men from my work both seemed very confused that they would be invited to a baby shower (one of them explained to me that Bachelor Party invitations go in one pile, all shower invitations go in a pile for his wife). I am definitely looking forward to this event and you can expect a Picture Set to be posted here after the event. TGIF!
