attention: i am officially baby CRAZY

Yes, I have officially passed being one of those women who some day wants a baby of her own and gone straight to baby crazy. I was out doing some casual shopping so I stopped by Burlington Coat Factory/Baby Depot at Arizona Mills to look at the baby bedding I had picked out for myself and--- It was gone!! I had a minor freak out in my head and then told myself to calm down- the one over at Superstition Springs might still have it.

When I got home I explained the predicament to Nathan- I told him we needed to go over to the other store, and if they have it- we must buy it! Surprisingly, he agreed to do just that. We headed over to the east side, and there it was- the last one on the shelf. A 4 piece bedding set (sheet, bumper pad, blanket, and dust ruffle) AND it was on sale. We got like 20% off. I love it, and Nathan really likes it too! LOOK!

It's a jungle theme-- well more like a safari theme. But it's not your typical cutesy baby animal nursery set. It's more funky and artsy. I LOVE IT!

This is just a close up of the zebras on the blanket. All the animals are just silhouettes. It's pretty cool.

This is the blanket and the bumper laid on the floor. I love the colors, I have so many nursery ideas already- and how I can make it work for a boy or a girl.
So, yep, you can officially say I am baby crazy. I own baby bedding- for a crib that I do not yet own and a baby that I am 6 months away from even attempting to conceive. Obsessive much, Tarin? My sister in law is a couple months pregnant and I'm pretty sure they don't even have bedding yet. I don't mind being a little crazy- it's not like the bedding is going to rot and go bad- the bag might get a little dusty... but it'll just have to wait up in the closet until Baby Lunt is on it's way!

it's like crack!!

Shopping for baby stuff is like crack for me! SUPER addicting. I went back to Babies R Us- because I wanted to check out the price of a chair and put it on lay away.


THIS is the chair. I absolutely love it and it matches the nursery bedding I have picked out PERFECTLY. Not to mention, it would work in the living room until we have the baby or after the baby grows out of the nursery stage.

Unfortunately, this perfectly fabulous chair costs a little over $400. I just couldn't justify paying that much- even over time, putting it on lay away. The crib and the crib bedding combined doesn't even cost that much. *sigh* Maybe one day I will have the money to buy awesome furniture that costs more than a couple hundred dollars.

Anyway, while I was there, the whole baby shopping being like crack kicked in when I saw these:



Aren't they freakin' adorable?!! I couldn't resist! I had to get them to add to Sabrina's present for Baby Bailey! I think she will now have that whole collection- haha! 2 shirts, 2 bottoms, 1 dress, and some sassy little baby shoes that will match any of the 5 outfits! They are coming over tonight for dinner, so we'll get to meet Bailey for the first time.

Nathan was like, "You are really excited to know someone who has a little baby girl aren't you?" He says I am living vicariously through Sabrina. That's about all I can do at this point! Our baby making days are still practically half a year away.
