For those of you wondering where Freybb, I mean panda, is going to be rooming… we have preliminary photos of it all working out just fine in our apartment (in case any Martellians are thinking we’re going to annex their suite… though, we have thought of that too).

First of all, let me just say that I KNOW life has changed in a big way because I went from learning all I could about guitars, triathlon bikes, and paintball guns… to now learning more than I ever wanted to know about cribs, strollers, and diapers.  Someone from work said to me today… “Hey, I saw you “like” some baby store on facebook over the weekend”… yep… that’s me.  I checked my profile and my last three likes were transferbigfiles.com, the Houston Social Media Expo, and The Original Mud Run of Houston (which was a blast by the way).

A huge thank you, and I’m sure it will continue, to Baby’s 1st Furniture… all locations (I think we’ve been to all of them… including the distribution center).  Our first stop was at  in West University on Kirby.  Very helpful folks, and ultimately we purchased something from this store… thanks to Miss Nguyen… but not before visiting the Galleria store for a few hours… the Sugar Land store on a different day… and then driving up I-45 to the huge store last weekend.  The helpful man at the distribution center even loaded everything and tied it down himself… safely and quickly.  Again, ultimately, we made our purchase at the Kirby store.  I went by myself that day, and kept them for about 30 minutes after they closed while deciding which pieces would actually fit in our space.

That brings me back to space.  My mom and dad have told me more than once that I was housed in a closet, though a very nice walk in closet, but a converted closet none the less, when I was brought home from the hospital.  Others have said, “babies don’t take up much room… it’s just all their stuff that does.”  Well, we’re trying to cut down on all the stuff… so… (again, from Baby’s 1st)… apparently we only needed to make room for a crib, changing table, some storage, a rocker/glider, and a few other things to go with all that.  (Stroller too, but we can park that somewhere.)  Therefore, we purchased the crib, changing table/hutch, dresser, glider, a nightstand and moved our furniture around this weekend to accommodate.

Included through this post are some pictures of the furniture in the store, Miss Nguyen helping me with some measurements, Stephanie visiting on a different day, our new set up (with our bedroom furniture moved into the living room and dining room for storage, and the new crib, changing table/hutch (which the company, Baby’s Dream, calls a double dresser).  All this furniture is from the “enchanted” collection.  (It’s sounds a bit girly, so if we have a boy, we’ll calling it the “bootcamp” collection.)

GENDER UPDATE… we may know TOMORROW.  So, be sure to take the poll located here to guess before it’s too late: http://freybaby.com/gender-poll/

The last picture below is from 7:45am when the cleaning staff had to call in a cart to haul away all the packing from the furniture and everything else we had to purge from our apartment to make room.
