finally...


Yesterday we finally did some baby shopping!!  I am feeling a little more prepared for the arrival of my little guys!  But we still have more to get!  The plan was to go to BabiesRus and get everything because of their "twin discount".  I had looked at a 
bunch of stuff online and had an idea of what I wanted, only to get to the store and be completely disappointed!  None of the carseats they had online were in the store, they had the carseat we wanted, I just didn't like any of the prints.  I decided to just get the cribs, and quickly discovered that they only had expensive cribs in the store.  I would've just ordered online, but they charge $50 PER CRIB for shipping.  What a joke.  Anyways...I was looking to spend about $150 on each crib, but when the cheapest I could find was $300 I was upset.  So upset I cried about it!  (go figure...)
And it was on sale for $40 off...so that made it even better!  :)  You know me...always looking for a deal!  I know it's a little early for this, but we also picked up 2 high chairs!  They were on sale as well and I love the pattern/style, so why not?  The blue thing hanging down from it is an extra chair pad.  

Target has a horrible selection of infant carriers, they had 1 style in store...the rest you have to purchase as a combo set with a stroller.  Kinda a bummer because I really liked the print of the pack'n play and high chairs, but we didn't need 2 single strollers.  Luckily we already have a double stroller.  So we headed over to Burlington Coat Factory because my friend said they also offer a 10% "twin discount".  

Let me just say, that place was such a dive!  I'm surprised we even walked back to look at the baby stuff...we should've just went back to the car.  But I'm glad we didn't...because we found another good deal!  Their carseats were $20 cheaper than babiesrus, plus we got 10% off...here's what we ended up with.  I wanted the blue one with dinosaurs, but they were sold out, plus the green of this matches the stroller we have.  
And now all we need are the cribs and a mattress!!  And then the bedding basics and binkies and clothes and probably about a million diapers.  lol  I read that the average set of twins goes through 800-1200 diapers in the first 60 DAYS!  That's crazy!  Oh, and here's the crib I have picked out!  I have been looking for the best price/cheapest shipping online and I have finally found it!  I have my eye on one other crib, but I think it's going to end up costing more, so this is probably what we'll end up with (minus the pink bedding)!
Alright, sorry to bore you with all my shopping fun!  :)  I hope this week goes fast...Tuesday is enrichment, Wednesday is my dr appt, and Thursday my awesome friends are throwing me a baby shower!  I am soooo excited!!

You got some cute stuff! I need to go to Target again I guess. I also was disappointed with Babies R Us. I looked at double strollers today and am pretty frustrated about the whole thing. What double stroller do you have... does it hold 2 infant carriers? The ones I like most won't hold 2 carriers... that is so buggin!

I'm amazed you even had the energy to go to all those stores being as pregnant as you are. Just thinking about it makes me tired :) And I was stressing about buying just the couple things we needed for this third one...can't imagine two. Is Josh having to work overtime? :)
