Update: At 5:00 pm we purchased the nursery set online from costco.com and it will arrive in 3-4 weeks, keep your fingers crossed it comes in time for the baby shower on March 15th.  We are going to paint the room next weekend. 

I am not one to focus on making sure the walls coordinate with the rug and the furniture.  In our apartment, all of our walls are still 'adobe white'.  Vida's bedroom will be the first room we paint, a garden or sea foam green most likely.  Anyhow, one thing Pablo and I decided on long ago was the nursery theme: fairies and butterflies for a girl and bears for a boy. 

One day in the first trimester I was browsing Costco online.  Did you know you can plan everything from a baby to a funeral online at Costco?!  They sell caskets!  They also sell all the basics of a wedding, the flowers along with the invitations, and other necessities for the big day.  I love Costco for many reasons, mainly overall quality of products.  They are selling a fairies and butterflies nursery set.  I knew it was just a matter of time before it was discounted, it seems that all of their furniture sets eventually get $500 knocked off.  I checked it last week and YES!  The 7-piece set is down to $1000.  To me, that is still INSANELY expensive, but it's a theme she can grow with, the bed is convertible and the decorative knobs on the furniture are reversible to a plain knob.  The great thing is that it's not going to cost us $1000, as we have $112 rebate from our AMX Costco card for our yearly reward.  Also, Pablo has just sold his Halo edition Xbox with a bundle of games for $110 and we have some left over Christmas gift money.  I am also working part time.  For example, today I earned $200 in 4 hours by selecting teachers.  We could get away with spending only $500 out of our own pocket!  Hooray!  Now that sounds like a fair deal for a 7-piece set!
