Weekend of Shopping - Nursery Sneak Peek

Since we don't really know when we will get the call that we have a potential birthmom match we have been working tirelessly on the nursery making sure it is pretty much ready for a baby to come any time now. 

I spent this past weekend SHOPPING!! My MIL and I picked up some much needed items for the bebe room. 

First stop was to Ikea to get the Ribba shelves everyone is talking about - took forever and walked the WHOLE place before I found them [they are in the frame section in case you are wondering], a cute wicker basket I have had my eyes on for a while and then an impulse buy of the drawer organizers.

Then off to Anthropologie to check out their knobs (in cream) for my dresser makeover but at $6 a knob it was just too big of a bite to swallow...so maybe later.  And the doorknob I wanted was $42!!! Not happening as of right now but a girl can sure dream right?


I wanted to look at changing pads and covers at The Land of Nod.  A girl was there picking up a changing pad and only paid like $20 so I said I would get one too...it was actually $36 so that didn't happen - not sure how she pulled that off - we are on a budget due to my getting laid off again.  But we did see a couple potential changing pad covers one, two, three ...oh and they have these adorable wooden blocks - almost look like the vintage ones - ADORE!!

We found a cute play-yard at Pottery Barn Kids and their changing pad was the same but a few dollars cheaper - crazy!!  They had a few cute mobiles and some more cute alpha blocks.

It was fun doing all the looking and some purchasing.  We made a stop by BabiesRUs and picked up a bunch of stuff.  I found a mobile, an organic changing pad (cheaper than the non-organic at Land of Nod), a diaper bag, and some Dr. Brown bottles (both glass and BPA free plastic).



We also stopped at Target where I picked up a curtain rod to hang the curtains.  LOVE it! 



I also made a stop by Michaels yesterday to pick up some wooden alpha letters for a fun project that I am doing in the room - that might take a while before I post whats up with that!

I am just busy today putting a lot of it together and making the room ready for baby!!  Pictures to come later!

    they are a MUST HAVE for those long nights you'll be up with baby and it keeps you awake, and eases baby too:) Do you have a swing baby can be in? ours was like this:

    It was older, but it swung side to side, not front to back. Landon liked side to side better, but who knows if it matters really:)
