A place to rest his head

We made our first big purchase for the little one.  We figured that a crib would be a good place to start because it was something that he would need early and it would be an easy decision.... Wrong!  We're slowly learning that nothing is easy.  We made several trips to Baby's R Us and other baby furniture stores in the area only to find hundreds of different styles, colors, and varying options, like if it converts into a toddler/full size bed.  We finally decided that we liked a caramel colored crib made by Cocoon.  But to make things more complicated, we didn't like the size of the drawers on the matching dresser.  So, we thought we'd look at other places for a matching dresser.  More driving around, more choices, more frustration.  "Caramel" is apparently not the most popular color at any furniture store.  Then we went back to the store that had the crib we liked and compared that color to other dresser sets and found one that matched in a chestnut color.  It's a seven drawer double dresser (short and wide) made by Baby's Dream in the Generation Next collection.  It will be delivered in a few weeks, which will give us some time to paint and decorate the nursery in the meantime.
