Crib notes...

We ventured out to the oceanfront last night to pick up the Dana crib from pbKids. A really nice couple (and their adorable 3 year old daughter) were selling this crib on craigsList. I was nervous as we headed out there, maybe I got my hopes up and the crib is in bad shape. What if it is missing pieces or is broken? Well when we arrived and I saw it, I was very relieved. It is in fantastic shape, with just a couple minor paint chips near the base of the head and foot boards - no big deal. We brought it home and now we just have to worry about how to store it nicely for the next few months. I am so excited to have this big purchase out of the way. Now, on to matching furniture pieces!

The Dana crib from pbKids

Yes, it is very early to be buying a crib but the crib that I wanted was being sold on craigsList by a nice lady in VaBeach. We are going to check it out/pick it up sometime this week, hopefully tonight. I have to call her and set that up. It is gently used and has been in storage since the last time her 3 year old used it. I am so excited about this crib! The ones I found @ Target and Babies R Us had some ok Consumer Reports reviews but they all did not get good consumer reviews online. So I started to panic. Then I saw this one from pbKids and even though I could not afford it brand new, I was going to find it somewhere. And that I did. Hooray craigsList.
