A New Crib
There are a lot of items new parents-to-be consider. One is probably a bed and linens for baby. In my opinion, a crib just isn’t necessary. For almost two years we have happily snuggled in bed together. I realize some parents aren’t comfortable sharing their bed with a baby but it’s worked great for us. However, as Sara Ellen grows, the space in our bed decreases and her parents’ bellies are often strongly kicked. With that in mind we made the decision to look into a bed of her own. Sara Ellen is not quite old enough for a toddler bed so we wanted a convertable crib to grow with her. Once we are able to pick it up, we shall squeeze our furniture around yet again and fit her new bed next to my side. I hope she will enjoy having space of her own still close to us.
We bought a sturdy crib, with sides that do not lower. Similarly, we bought a bedding set called Patchwork Pooh. It features the Disney Winnie the Pooh characters in small muted tones, and is only available in Babies’ R Us stores.
Another good reason to put off this purchase, it puts you back a bit financially.
Other goodies for Sara Ellen are animal-faced plates with sections, and forks and spoons more easily held. I would like to replace her hooded towel with a towel cape from Lands’ End so when she gets out of the tub her belly won’t get cold, even though the bathing princess is pretty cute with her towel trailing behind her.
