Baby Prepping

August is almost over. November is now just two months away. This past week, knocked two big things off BBD's list of things.

On Wednesday, it was WAY hot. Our adventure for the day needed to have really good air conditioning. My mom had suggested the JCPenny furniture outlet store in Rancho Cucamonga in our search for a recliner for BBD's nursery. They don't have everything you want, but just enough of a selection to find what you need for super cheap!

Erin and I tried out almost every recliner they had in the store (100+). No really, we were there for two hours and two or three bathroom trips for Erin. She was having a tough time making a decision, but finally narrowed it down to two.

The selection criteria (in order):

1. Looks good with the pillow we already have
2. Small
3. Has buttons
4. Looked nurseryish
5. Rocked and reclined
6. Comfortable

Eventually my mom showed up. She helped nudge Erin to make a final decision. Then, mom helped pay for the chair as an early baby gift. Now the chair has its assumed position-BUT YOU CANT SIT IN IT UNTIL THE BABY COMES.

Dad helped is get the other big purchase. Just can't say publicly what store we found it at ;) Hopefully I assemble it as good as it looks online. Of course, we are going to try and find similar baskets (in blue though).

We still have lots to do before feeling somewhat adequate before the little dude gets here. Coming up every Tuesday for the next four weeks.... Baby Prep classes.
