Donating the Afterbirth???

Okay I have always known you could Bank your child's cord Blood I have little interest in doing that as I cannot afford to do so , HOWEVER I have found out that instead of letting all that valuable Life giving Goo go to waste You can donate it!!! isn't that pleasant but its a Good conversation to have.

I wonder if anyone else is going to or has donated. I'm going to donate and I'll write about it. Cause I have never known anyone who has done it but hey maybe they would find something cool out about cord
blood. Maybe they will help another kid you never know

I SPLURGED!!!

Okay if you have been reading all of my post then you would know that we have had a crib Situation!!! OKAY soo I wanted a 4 poster White Crib After I fell in love with the Disney Princess crib at Baby's R US. OKAY I just didn't know if I could really bring myself the thrift store Queen too just spend that Kind of Money on a crib. Soo I saw one at Kmart the princess crib it was nice not as cute!! Again I dont know WHY 4 poster appealed to me something in life are just taste and preference and obviously with the lack of 4 poster cribs I can only assume I'm the only person who adores them.

Well then that started the I found a 4 poster crib on craigslist. OMG lessons I learned !!!
#1 I will NEVER trust someone to deliver something to me it just pigeon holds you into a purchase
#2 drop side cribs cannot be made stationary (not as simple as we thought)
#3 drop side cribs are tall and not LOW enough to be able to reach in for the average 5,4 woman and since I dont wanna chunk the kid in the crib YEAH  but when I read about it sounded like a solution
#4 I didn't get all of the parts and if you dont know what all of the parts are do NOT assume they included them all Because when you assume You know
#5 if your Husband is Generally not into DIY your pregnancy Will NOT make him more interested in DIY

On the plus side I didn't spend that much on this lesson I will lick my wounds and move on. Even though I really DID fall in love with this crib now I was just Annoyed upset devastated and OH 30 some odd weeks pregnant. Which is just not doing anything for my sanity and if you know how much I have kicked myself in the pants over this decisions trying to save a buck just was NOT WORTH IT !!!

Seeing how I have done SOO GOOD with everything else her dresser, changing table, swing, bouncer, highchair, etc etc etc I decided it's my first CHILD its my LIttle Girl I'm going to SPLURGE !!! I took the dive and we bought the Disney Princess Crib from BABIES R us It really is gorgeous I even bought the RAILS sooo it can be her big girl bed! If I'm lucky she will love it as much as I do !! and it will last her a very long time and spending a good money on furniture . I think is a good investment. I think you know you a parent when you kids furniture cost more then your own.

Now I have to wait for it to get here Then  I will take a picture!! so What have we learned even though I hate giving into Corporate america and there needs too pinch ever penny drop side cribs turned stationary is not SIMPLE Even with the kit the rails are TOO high To use
