Went to Babies R Us to take our overly expensive crib off of layaway to get a bassinet instead…

Sometimes, you've gotta do what you've gotta do, ya know? It's ok, that can come at a later time. Long as she has something to sleep in, it doesn't matter ☺

I was going to use a bassinet for her first 3 months. We will definitely be okay by then. Plus there's this website called Trading cradles that ppl use to sell their baby items. @sarahemccormick

Oh, I hadn't heard of that site till now! I will check it out ☺ Thank you!

You're welcome! I should post it for all to see. You just pick your city and you will see what ppl are selling. I think there's a glitch though because I can't email them about certain items. :( @sarahemccormick

Walmart has a lot of the same cribs as baby's r us for much cheaper

Really? I am a ftm so I don't really know where to get anything. I'm definitely checking it out. Thank you! @karinagrace

@emteebee, I just looked at the site and ita super cool for those who live in a metro area! Unfortunately Im about two hours away each way from the two busiest cities they list in Florida, so it probably wouldn't work for me. But it seems like a great tol for those in the city for sure!

No problem girl, that's what I'm doing save some money and they have some really nice ones that will be shipped right to your house. So no hassles

@sarahemccormick, Periodically the site will have updates, so hopefully something comes up for you. Two hours? No Bueno. lol

@karinagrace, Will I have to assemble it myself? But you're amazing for that. I am checking it out soon.

Yeah you definitely will have too. Building a crib takes about 2 1/2 hours. It's a good bonding experience or a good daddy job

Hopefully I build it correctly because lord knows that I don't want it crashing down on Rilee. @karinagrace

You could pay someone at babysrus to come and do it even though your not getting the crib from them I believe but I'm not sure
