Changing table

My mother graciously told us she would purchase our changing table!  So, we had quite an ordeal with Babies R Us.  Apparently none of the stores close by have it in stock.  It takes up to 10 business days to ship.  The stores are also unwilling to part with their floor models (even though we are only going to need to take it 2 days before a new one would come in!).  So after trying my best I checked on ebay I prayed that something might be a good match and close enough for us to get.  I found a changing table that is new, costs 1/2 as much, is the right color and get this ~Its in Columbia, only a 15 minute drive, it was also a buy it now!  So we now have purchased the changing table and are going to pick it up tomorrow.  Sometimes blessings come in ways you don't expect!  We are very grateful that things have been going so smoothly for us ~I hope that things continue to go smoothly as we start this new chapter in our lives!

  1. Great to hear about your changing table and that things are going so well. Now if only the house sells as easily. Enjoy reading your posts. Love, Dad

  2. Hello kids,
    Interestingly enough, we have a changing table story for you! We had been living at Joan's parent's house until after Emily was born and then moved into an apartment in Mt. Rainier. We got all sorts of baby-related things but one of the things that we didn't get was a changing table. Joan's dad had given us mountians of S&H green stamps and these certificate things that used to come in cigarette packs (I don't remember which one) but we used one of those to buy a changing table. When it was delivered it looked like it had survived (barely) a hurricane. Joan said that the delivery guy did something odd, I don't remember now if he didn't want to carry it up the 2nd floor? or what but the thing was beat to pieces. But for us? The price was right!
