[quote=Anonymous]OP here's my advice:

If you can afford this, and seeing as how you spent 40K on furniture and seem somewhat mindful of expenses I think you likely can, let it go.

Say to your wife that you know this was out of bounds/disregarded your process, but it's nice furniture that will last a long time and the baby deserves it and now you can get back to your usual method. Give her a hug, tell her it looks good and is good quality, have a "moment" where you agree to follow your agreed upon rules again, and let it go.

If you make a huge thing you are going to have a situation where she is mad at you every time she looks at the furniture and you are mad at her and with this being the centerpiece of the baby's room that's not great.

This is Pottery Barn right? Your kid (girl?) will have this stuff potentially until they're in college. It's just pretty decent quality white dressers. Crib and glider can be re-used for another kid or re-sold. Dressers are neutral enough that they can be put in a guest room without the changing table toppers. It's not a super irresponsible purchase, and it's got utility.

If you can't afford it you have some $ problems to work out and you need to have a more serious sit down.
