Yes, we bought our nursery furniture this past weekend!! It's so exciting :) We had looked at Babies R Us, but didn't see anything that we really liked. So, we headed to USA Baby on Babcock Blvd (which is 45 mins away, but worth it!).
We first got there and it's very overwhelming because they have so many sets of furniture to go through. We didn't really know where to start. It got a little easier because Nate didn't want to get Pine because it gets scratched easily (the advantages of having an engineer husband, haha. Thinks of everything). So that eliminated a lot of them. We really really liked the Mahogany sets, but they were super duper expensive, out of our budget. Well, we looked at tons of them and liked some of them. Then we came to one of the last sets and I knew it was the one!!! It had everything we wanted. It was harder wood. The color was not real light, but not dark. The changing table had a lip on the sides and back (my requirement!), and the dresser was awesome too. Some of the sets looked like 'grown up' furniture and we wanted this to be more kid like. Basically it wasn't so fancy that it would look silly, but grown up enough to last years. So...I loved it so much I cried in the store!! We discussed it and made sure we (okay, me!) wasn't being rash and just wanted to get something. We knew we wouldn't find something else we liked more and the price was decent, so we ordered it!!! It takes 8-10 weeks to come, which I was upset with at first cause I want it now!! But it's really good cause it gives me time to clear out the room and get it all ready. It's a huge relief and we are both really happy with our choice.

We got the crib and the dresser shown. The changing table is on the right, but we did not get the hutch that goes on top. At least it gives you an idea. And the picture is darker wood, which we didn't get. We got Chestnut, which is a lighter wood color. When we get it in and put together I'll post pictures of the nursery :)
Only NINE more days until we find out if it's a boy or girl!! I can't wait :)
