I’m guessing that this adventure we’re on may have lots of tiny victories and maybe a few big ones and today i was thrilled by one of the pretty darn small, but nonetheless thrilling victories. There’s a crib that I’ve been keeping my eye on at Target[dot]com. (I’ve probably mentioned it here before.) It didn’t appear to be available in stores (only online) and although it costs more than the IKEA crib, it’s just so much …. nicer. And it’s still WAY less than any other “modern” style crib I’ve seen (as in half of what other modern cribs cost when they’re on clearance). But when we finally made the decision to purchase it a few nights ago, I was sorely disappointed to find that the shipping costs were more than $75. yeesh. That increases our price for the crib. And decreased my ability to justify the higher expense. And so I decided to wait. And hope that it went on sale for free shipping or something. And then yesterday, I saw that someone had posted a review of the crib that indicated that a Target employee had told them that that crib was being discontinued. Nnnnnoooooooo!<\/p>\n
So, imagine my surprise when I was in Target today and just happened to see that they had THE CRIB. THERE IN THE STORE. I asked a store clerk if it was actually in stock and…. IT WAS! No shipping fees. No 4-6 week wait. Not discontinued. Needless to say, the crib is now in my house. Albeit in pieces, but it is IN MY HOUSE! I hope to have nursery photos to show you soon. I’m waiting until I can do the big reveal. Yes, the happy dance did happen. woo! hoo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
