FuzziBunz! And cribs.
I got some FuzziBunz in the mail today! :D I wasn’t even looking for some – I had all but given up on never-been-used pocket dipes – when I saw someone posting on one of my forums… they sell dipes and just got in a big box of small and medium FuzziBunz Seconds. (For those of you who have no idea what that means – dipes are marked “seconds” when they have something really minor wrong with them… the tag placed incorrectly, a snap placed incorrectly, etc. Most of the time they’re very small, visual problems – they can’t sell them for full price, but they’re still fully functional diapers. So anyways, FBs are, brand new, sold for $18 plus shipping. Yikes right? Well I got these ones – brand new – for $14 each including shipping. And, being the lovely, generous wife that I am, I ordered one in red, the other in turquoise. Den was absolutely begging me to buy at least a red diaper, to go with the Red Sox outfits we already have. LOL! Den doesn’t like pale, pastel colors… he was pointing out the red, the blue, the green. He wanted man colors! So that’s what I got him. :) I really think he’s going to be happy! They’re gorgeous! I’m thinking of ordering some more… LOL I just wish I knew if I should focus on blues or if I can splurge on some pinks. ;) (No, Den will NEVER let a boy wear pink. So for now it’s blues and gender-neutrals!)

So Den and I looked at some baby bedding online last night – the first time since we found out we’re actually pregnant – and bickered a bit (“What? That?? You’re kidding right? OMG, it’s horrible!” … “No honey I am NOT buying a SPORTS set. No, even if it has teddy bears.”) and found out that yet again the only set we both actually like is Sweet Vanilla. He says he likes the pattern, that it’s “classy” and “inoffensive.” (He found some of my choices of mod stripes to be offensive, lol!) And I of course am just loving it because of the stars and moons and SHEEP! So we may end up going with that one, no matter what gender… then choosing a more gender-specific paint color. (Though I really think blue would just look great with it, either way.)
However it brings up the crib color. It’s so neutral that I think a natural colored crib would just be very bland. Doable, but bland. What would look AWESOME is a chocolate colored crib. Unfortunately the cribs I like? Don’t come in espresso. Here’s the closest thing I could find: Capri Lifetime Crib, Walnut. But yeah, Walnut is not Espresso, and I don’t like the color nearly as much.
Or there’s the Pinehurst Lifetime Crib, Espresso. It’s close.
The only other options for dark that are in the “style” that I want are black. And do I really want a BLACK crib? Meh. No.
Hey! The crib I wanted originally is back in stock! Ameriwood Lifetime Crib, Natural. Not many reviews yet, though. Need to make sure it’s a good crib.
I am still liking this other crib I found when the Ameriwood was out of stock, the Sienna 5-in-1, Natural. It, unlike the Ameriwood, has a drop side. And it has good reviews. And it’s pretty.
So I dunno. Decisions, decisions. Thank goodness we have time. :) I need a long time to mull things over. I really appreciate the 10 months pregnancy gives me!!

the pinehurst is beautiful. It looks like Evie’s crib – only hers is white. Oh and in case you really want to know the sex – like NOW – http://www.intelligender.com/
Oh god! That Vanilla Dreams set is just too cute!
Uhm, stupid question maybe, but couldn’t you guys go with a bland colored crib and then paint it in the color you want? :D
Love the bedding btw. With a powder blue wall color I think it would be lovely. Wouldn’t go for an earth color as I think it would make everything too monochrome …
