Shopping Trip for Baby Brunner

My Mom, sister and I went to Walnut Creek this weekend for a baby shopping extravaganza! We went down with a big shopping list in hand and we got everything that I was looking for. It was such a fun trip- I love going there and shopping at all the nice stores and also eating at all the nice restaurants :) Katherine was able to spend a lot of time with us even though we were all sick with a cold or getting over a cold. This picture of us below is at the Cheesecake Factory- and we look tired and sick but we had a blast! :)



We found a Babies R Us and they had everything! It was neat because they had all the cribs, dressers and strollers set up so you could really see how everything would look out of the box. I'm the kind of person that has to be able to see things in person and I can't just order things online so I was happy to pick out everything.

Below is a picture of the stroller/car seat I picked out. I really like it and in person the lighter color isn't so light- it's a gray suede fabric and I think Baby Brunner will look very cute in it!

Here's a picture of the bedding Travis and I had picked out online. We are doing a sports theme in the nursery and we really liked the colors of this bedding. I had to order it though- so I won't have it for a while because Katherine and Kristen bought it for me and I can't have it until the shower- but I will probably steal a piece of it to go to the paint store to finish painting the baby's room.

Below are pictures of the crib and dresser/changing table that I picked out at Babies R Us. The pictures are showing the furniture in a cherry color- but I got the espresso color- similar to the color of the crib in the picture above with the bedding.

I also found this diaper bag at a really cute baby store in Walnut Creek- it's big and roomy but I also like that it is cute and looks like something I would buy to use as a purse- we'll have to get Travis a backpack or something a little more manly to use because I know he will not want to carry this one around!

I was so happy to be able to spend time with my Mom and sister- we realized we haven't gone on a trip with just the 3 of us for 2 years! Landen stayed at home with his Dad and Pa- so it was nice to have a girls trip. Whitney and my Mom had never been to Walnut Creek before and now they know why Kristen and I are addicted to it! I also loved seeing Katherine and spending time with her- she is such a great friend and I feel lucky to be able to see her so much! I got overwhelmed a couple times at all the things we were buying and making decisions- but I'm glad my Mom and Whitney were there to help me. I ended up crying as we were leaving Babies R Us(don't be surprised- I've been VERY emotional lately!) and I think it was because I was so happy and grateful for what my Mom was doing for me and Travis. She is so generous and giving with her time, money and patience. Thanks Mom, Whit and Katherine for a perfect weekend! Love you! I can't wait now for Travis and I to put all of these fabulous things together for Baby Brunner :)
