Saving vs Splurging - Baby Edition

Hello everyone! The past two days have NOT been easy to deal with...specially yesterday. I threw up 3 times and ended up going to bed with nothing but crackers in my stomach. Poor baby, I hope my prenatals didn't come out too. Today I've felt nauseous too but I've immediately tried to think about other stuff and take deep breaths. Hopefully it'll all get better.

Now on to the point of this post! Shopping for baby!!!! Monday we had an ultrasound but apparently the person who did it couldn't tell the gender...oh and what's worst? I won't even find out til early Dec. BUMMER. 5 more weeks, 5 more weeks!!!!! Below is a pic of U/S, anyone have the slightest idea of what gender it may be? Lol

But in all seriousness, so far I've come to terms with the reality that the gender of the baby is not up to us to decide or obsess over, but that either way we will love our baby because it's a part of our love and a piece of each of us! Our legacy in the world and we couldn't be more excited!

About 2 weeks ago I found a used wooden high chair in very good condition for only $35 when they are typically over $140 new! It's also Carter's brand! SCORE! I couldn't pass the offer knowing it really won't matter if it's boy or girl, I can always add a pink/blue seat cover. Picture shown below. Great deal huh?

Now there are some things I heard you should never buy used or you may not want to, like specially car seats and safety equipment because you really don't know if the item has been in an accident so you have to trust the seller.

If we have a boy we are getting a brown crib that eventually converts into a full size bed for a very reasonable price everywhere. If it's a girl though...there is nooo way we won't spoil her rotten considering there hasn't been a girl in J's family for decades! Well I came across this royal looking crib at Toys R Us which would definitely be a splurge since It's pretty pricey compared to other cribs but there's just no way I'll resist! Picture below. What do yall think? Made for a princess huh?
