The Dilemma of the Nursery Furniture

We thought we had planned plenty in advance with our nursery furniture. My wonderful in-laws had offered to buy Michelle's nursery furniture. So come May, once finding out the sex of the baby, we headed off to furniture boutiques. We landed at USA Baby and found the perfect set. The manufacturer was running 3 1/2-4 months in wait time; Cutting it close, but doable. About 3 1/2 weeks before my due date, Mark (wonderful hubby) had called USA Baby to follow up with our order. It was scheduled to arrive any day. A couple of days later my sister-in-law calls me and lets me know she saw something on the news about USA Baby closing their doors and many people being out their money and their purchase. What the %&$#@*! Yup...the owner had locked his doors and cut off the phone lines. I was devastated. I called Mark from work in tears. I could not bear the thought of Michelle arriving so soon and having NO furniture. Granted she slept in our room the first couple months, but when you are preggers and your hormones are raging, you go through a crazy nesting phase and everything MUST be perfect before baby arrives.

Mark assures me he would do everything possible to get the situation resolved. After many attempts to contact the owner, we realize it's hopeless and we must buy new furniture. Fortunately, my in-laws were able to get their money back from their bank and we found an amazing furniture manager at Buy Buy Baby. We found our new perfect set and wanted it! The manufacturer was running 4 months wait time.  :(   The manager said she was very low on stocked inventory due to the USA Baby situation and found out we were a part of that. She got our information and said she would call us if the furniture we wanted was available at their Dallas store. A few days later we received the best news I could have hoped for. The set and the color we wanted was on its way to us! Lesson learned...the stress is not worth it. Everything has a way of working itself out!
