I was able to buy this: http://www.armsreach.com/pages/shop-pv-c10-2.html for $139.00 today.
Plus we can pick it up in the store so no shipping charge.
It was a total whim that I went to walmart online last night just out of curiosity.
As for the Co-Sleeper, I wasn't planning on getting one but with the Husbands hand he's not really in the position to take apart the crib, haul it down the stairs and put it back together again; and if he did there's the chance of having a major set back in his healing process. ugh.
I was also able to pick up the BPA-free bottles I needed, along with the baby tub for dirt cheap.
Lowest prices I've found anywhere for these several things and trust me when I say I have been scouring everywhere for the best steals on all the things we need for this little guy.
But look at the bright side, or shall I say the blue side (it's a bit extreme in it's blue isn't it?)cheap and easy... Everything is finally coming together.
Next month I need to pick up wipeys, Pampers, pacifiers, sleep sacks, bottle liners and extra nipples, and a Moby wrap if I can bring myself to buying it (any of you Mamas have it?).
And then, believe it or not, I think we're good to go.
It just all started coming together, finally, a huge thanks to the financial help of my family.
I can breathe a little easier now. I should have everything ready by November giving me 4 weeks of rest before the big day. (Okay, totally freaked myself out by saying that, eek!)

I am a Moby wrapper... and it is WONDERFUL! The possibilities of child carrying are outstanding. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI am a Moby wrapper and it is OUTSTANDING! The possiblilities of baby wearing are wonderful. All the way up to toddlerhood. I love it and recommend it to every mom I know.
ReplyDeleteYIKES! I am not a freak but just did not realize that the comments had to be approved. I am so sorry! LOL I thought my word verify wasn't being accepted! Oops!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteI published them all because I think it's so funny.
Thank you so much for the info on the Moby. Did your newborn take to the wrapping?
Jack loves to be snuggled much more than my 18 month old could ever stand... So I never tried with him. But Jack is so into it. He usually falls right to sleep as soon as I wrap him up. I do worry sometimes about him getting too warm but it will be really nice in the coming winter months. And thank you for publishing all the comments so the world can see what a freak I am!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for more moby info!
ReplyDeletebeing hands free while getting used to a newbie and having a three year old, well, it seems like the only way it'll work is with a wrap.
:)
ps: No problemo! ;)
Do you have a blog Lauren?
There is so much stuff to get with a new baby! I guess it's a good thing we get nine months to prepare!
ReplyDeleteI spoke of winter before reading more into your blog and realizing that you reside in AZ... and well I don't have to tell you that you don't really have winter. At least not like I do here in Central Illinois! But I am sure you guys do A/C with the best of 'em! So you should be fine with the wrap. My guys are just sweaty heads for the most part. I do not have a blog but was introduced to the wonderful world by my friend Heather Butter. I grew up down the street from her. So we knew each other LONG before we ever thought of kids. And it is just such an awesome thing to see the evolution of us. I just mentioned to my husband that I need to do a blog. My family would love it and it would give me a connection to the blogs that I comment on all the time. Crazy lurking blog girl... Anyways, I know nothing about how to get started... maybe you could email me some tips... laurenwinks(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteHoney Mommy:
ReplyDeleteSo true!
Especially considering I'm in my third trimester and just now getting everything in gear.
*such a slacker*
Lauren, You totally need a blog.
They are wonderful and I will email you in the next few days to help you out if you'd like. T
Thank you for being a reader here in my blogging Mama world as well.
:)
I look forward to your email but don't break your neck trying to get it done... I have patience.. (I do??) I know you are crazy busy with things right now. Trust me... if anyone understands, it is me! I made myself crazy trying to get everything ready for Jack like I had it ready for Tyler and you know what? The kid is just now starting to sleep in his room. And the clothes... oh gosh the clothes... they are in a huge pile on the floor of Jack's room and in a pile on our bedroom dresser. Life is nuts but we wouldn't change it for the world, huh?
