Monkey man bedding

Last week, Kelsey and I went to Orlando to check out their consignment stores and register at Babies R Us. We ended up finding a consignment store that had a ton of clothes, all clearance, and bought the baby boy a whole bunch of cute outfits for $18 bucks! WE also got his crib at the store. It was brand new, in the box, never been opened, and sold for $265 new at Toys R Us. We ended up buying it for $175! It's absolutely gorgeous and just what we were looking for.

We stopped by another store that had all name brand stuff, and we checked out the bedding. We were looking for something "monkey" for his room, and had seen one kind online with blue, green, yellow and brown, but the blue looked a little more purple. Once we saw it in the store, it was the perfect shade of blue! So we decided that was the pattern and we'd look for it elsewhere or put it on the registry (or buy it online). It turns out this particular type is either really popular or being discontinued because it's almost impossible to find in the store and online. We ended up just ordering it from the company because we knew they had it in stock. We also registered for a bunch of extras, like the valance, lamps, wall decals, etc. We're ready to get his room ready!!

I came home yesterday and Kelsey hadn't said a word about the bedding getting to the house. I asked why we didn't get it and said he needed to call and complain. A few minutes later he called me into the hallway and opened the door to the nursery and there it was! He got it and put it all together. Now if I could only get him to make OUR bed that well.

Here it is! All ready for a sweet little baby.
