After many hours of online research and a few trips to furniture stores, I think we have finally picked out the nursery furniture and bedding. We haven't actually ordered it yet, but I've set tomorrow as our deadline! I have spent every evening (as in the 2-3 hrs between when I get home and when I go to bed) researching online and reading my trusty "Baby Bargains" book for the last few weeks. We just need to take one last look (I swear, I'll make a decision tomorrow) because we are ordering online and I want to be sure of the crib color--it's really hard to tell what it looks like on the computer. Last weekend we had a day off together and went crib-shopping. What a PITA. The problem is that I'm picky and there aren't a whole lot of cribs that have exactly what I want. Of course it didn't help that it apparently takes 10-12 weeks for the furniture to come in when you order it at a regular baby furniture store. Seriously?! Are they growing the tree first? The baby will be here in 12 weeks. I realize that he won't need a crib and dresser immediately, but I'd really like to have everything here and set up before I'm sleep-deprived and carrying a newborn around. Fortunately, there are several reputable online sites where you can order furniture and it ships in about a week (they must order it from the company and keep it in stock). Anyway, here are some pictures:

Dresser ("combo unit" in baby furniture language, which refers to the fact that the dresser doubles as a changing table.)
