The Farrar Four: Another busy weekend...

It's no secret that the weekends are my favorite days of the week. I mean, who doesn't like weekends???

Our weekends have been filled with trips to Target- Babies R Us- Showers, the whole bit and this one was no different. It's so much fun though. I really enjoy the busy-ness of our weekends and spending time with Lance. Not to mention that this weekends weather was to die for. It was a little taste of Spring in February. I'm definitely ready for Spring and the new life it brings.

Friday night Lance made Easton some "collector shelves" for his room. I had found some on Pottery Barn Kids but I didn't want to pay what they were selling them for- plus- when hubs can make them- why spend the money? So for about 1\3 of the price of 1 Pottery Barn shelf- we got 2. I can't wait till we get them painted and hung on the walls. That's on the itenerary for this weekend.

We've been having an issue in the nursery- the furniture we bought is amazing- but way to big for the room. So, I called USA Baby (my FAVORITE baby store in town) told them of our predicament and they agreed that we could return the dresser for an in-store credit. PRAISE THE LORD! Saturday morning, we loaded up the truck and headed to Franklin. We swapped out the dresser for the Stroller, Car Seat, Playard and a sling.

Lance did his homework on these prodcuts and these were our final selection. The Chicco Lullaby LX is rated #1 on Consumer Reports and was also the top seller at USA Baby and the Cortina (travel system) was highly rated and a top seller as well. We had registered for them at Babies-R-Us but USA Baby had a better quality travel system (that went to 30lbs vs 22lbs) so we were sold! This purchase was a big relief for me! I kept thinking "what if he comes early? we won't have anything to take him home in..." but now we do- so I'm thrilled. Lance got it all put together without much effort so that's another plus on the Chicco brand!

We also found his Coming Home outfit this weekend and it's very cute. I just hope it fits! It's hard to know if we should get New Born or 0-3. Lance and I were both big babies so he very well could skip the NB clothing stage.

Sunday we had a shower at the church where Lance grew up and where his mom currently works. Six of my girlfriends hosted this shower and we had a great time.
