I'd love your if you have any thoughts... I may get one of those before purchasing a crib.

I was going to get either a co-sleeper or a mini crib that I can side-car. I ended up getting the mini crib since it was on sale

I just got the rest of my daytime newborn stash--yay! I now have 24 Grovia NBs. That is enough...right? I want to get Sbish for nighttime and some woolies, but I'm waiting for a killer deal (if one ever comes up) before buying those...

I have had almost all my maternity clothes (almost an entirely new wardrobe from last time) since before I was pg. LOL I just remember how hard and exhausting it was to shop for maternity clothes while I was big and uncomfortable, so for the past six months, I've been snatching items up here and there as I've seen good deals. I think I just need a few more pants and skirts, and I'm set.

I haven't bought anything yet. I'm still fitting in normal clothes though they're getting snug. I'm trying to hold off on stuff for the baby till we find out the sex. Then I will start shopping and knitting and sewing. I want to make lots of lil nb fitteds to use in addition to all of our pfs I still have from when ds was a newb.

I want to hear more about this when you get it in! I am reading the reviews and convincing myself that this is the way I need to go with these babies. I am putting them in the smaller of the bedrooms, or maybe I will even put them in the master with me since DH will be deployed. I have been saying that I think the key will be minimalism, and this keeps me from having to buy three bassinets and then three cribs. Well, I will probably still end up with 3 cribs, but I like that these last longer than the bassinets.

Super cute - off to do more reading!

Also look at IKEA ..they have smaller cribs and aren't super expensive

[mabelinoad]

i agree ikea. i was there last week...some $69, some $79 and up. But my only complaint about them, is they're kind of low to the ground. I like the crib up to my waste, so there isn't much bending. Worth a look though!

I have this crib for my DD: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...FindSrc=search

I used the crib next to our bed from day one. DD is 18 months now, and she still is sleeping in it! If she stretches out to her fullest (with arms down), she hits the ends (or, rather, the crib bumpers), but she's still good for a few more inches. She doesn't seem to mind sleeping in a small space. My DD is tall. If you have shorter babies, they can probably stay in it until they needed a toddler bed (and if they still fit at that point, this crib converts to a toddler bed or twin bed). I'm not sure how this mini crib compares to the other one, but the site has measurements you can look at.

I am planning on getting DD a full size convertible crib and giving the mini crib to the new baby. I'm glad we have room for a full size crib in our new house! I originally got the mini crib because there was NO way I could fit a full size crib in our room.

It would probably be to my waist! I'm so short! Heehee
