Yesterday not only did my crib bedding arrive BUT we got the baby furniture problem solved.
You will never believe how.
Remember the guy from Craigslist that I had written off as a Toolbox of the First Order? Ah yes, as it turns out he was not a toolbox at all. So, sorry Craigslist guy, you are redeemed and vindicated as being a decent person. I can admit when I'm wrong, and I was totally wrong this time.
Mr. Craigslist sent me an email early yesterday morning explaining that the reason he hadn't gotten back to me was that his whole family had the stomach flu. Therefore he was very busy taking two children and a wife to the doctors and holding them with their respective heads in the toilet and thus could not respond to me email. He was terribly sorry and did we still want the furniture? HOLY COW YES! We did. We drove down and it was amazing and lovely and we brought it all home for the very low price of $115.00. Let's just add it up, shall we? One white 4-in-1 sleigh crib by a famous maker with NO recalls and a nice crib mattress, one white dresser-style sleigh changing table with pad, and the most adorable white nightstand you ever saw with a little shelf and a cabinet. Plus T.G. talked him into selling us two top of the line child gates AND the extension packages, which we desperately needed, for $40.00.
So, total spent was $155.00 which is five dollars more than we spent on Little Guy's furniture AND we got two baby gates in the deal. Also the changing table is a dresser style which is nicer than the one we got for Little Guy and his stuff did not come with a nightstand, so technically even though we paid five dollars more we did better on this bargain hunting extravaganza. Hooray!!!
T.G. is probably even more pleased than I am because now he has a wife who is not an anxiety ridden mess full of hateful pregnancy hormones. I am serene and happy in the knowledge that the items needed for the baby's room are here and the fun of picking a room color and whatnot can begin. Woot!
