I HEART SURPRISES!!!

My parents bought us a crib yesterday and the company said it wouldn't take long maybe by Friday. (We bought it from a place in Auckland) I came home from work today and drove in the drive way and saw the crib through the window in the baby's room ALL SET UP!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Sam had today off and was so tired from working 8 days in a row, but he SURPRISED me by not telling me it came and then getting it all set up!! I was ECSTATIC!!!





I still have to get the mattress and then bedding but I am SOOOO HAPPY to finally have a crib up. Cribs here are pretty expensive but I found this one that I fell in love with and that turns into a toddler bed and a small couch. I looked around at all the stores I could in the town we live in and there was nothing that was below $600 for flimsy made wood cribs. UGH! (I might have whined a bit as I looked at the Target.com sight one day and saw all the cute crib options even there) I was so disappointed. I kept going back to this one because it was SUPER cute and it was $500 off the original price and was cheaper than anything, even the yucky made cribs I was seeing. I called and doubled check yesterday afternoon on what the shipping really was. It said $7.50 but that just didn't seem to make sense, yet the nice lady said that was the total and we should have it by Friday. Instead we got in less than 24 hours!!!

Maximillian's room will be in chocolate browns and navy blues with old toys as a theme. Sam has old cars that his mom saved for him and we just got a Thunderbirds HUGE poster from his parents that they bought after it came out at the movies years and years ago. THE POSTER IS MASSIVE, but will be so fun and nostalgic to put in the room. His mom also has an old fashioned wood rocking chair she is painting for us that we will put in there too. As we put the room together I will post more pictures.

It made my day that Sam not only put it together when he was so tired but that he knows me so well that he knew it would make me SMILE HUGE---and that it did!
