Can't Buy Me Love

Nursery furniture has been ordered...again. We did choose a crib and a dresser and ordered them back in September with the idea that they'd come in time to set up the nursery before the little one's arrival. We ordered from a small store that had little but good selection, and a very helpful sales lady, and also ordered our car seat and stroller from them too. We did get the car seat but changed our minds about the stroller and had gotten our money back for that. 

The 8 - 10 weeks they said it would take for the furniture came and went and I hadn't heard anything from the store. I started calling the store and there was never an answer and the voicemail box was full. After a few calls like this we became quite suspicious. We went to the store and sure enough, out of business!  They didn't even have the decency to let their customers with orders know!  Fred looked on their website and there was no info there either. He finally found something on twitter on how to contact them (by email) about existing orders. Ridiculous. We emailed and did hear back from the owner that she was going to try to fill existing orders or give money back and that she would know in a couple of weeks what was going to happen. Well, those weeks came and went and we heard nothing. We then decided to go through the credit card to dispute the charge and get our money back. That is still in progress. Hopefully that will work out and we'll get our money back. Otherwise we'll have paid double for the furniture!  On the weekend we finally went and ordered the same furniture from a different store.

Meanwhile the nursery is a pretty empty room, just a chair, with a very full closet!  We do have a bassinet that she's sleeping in in our room so there's no rush for a crib. It would be nice to finally have the nursery set up though!  We haven't been able to decorate or anything without the furniture!

I'm writing this post with one hand on my iPad at 2 am.  Lennon was six weeks old yesterday!  I'll post some pictures soon.
