We did it...Baby got a crib!
OK, so she doesn't really have it yet, but we've ordered it. We went to Boston Baby this afternoon and ordered a crib, a crib mattress, a dressing station, and a glider rocker.
This is the crib, in the same finish we ordered ("Pecan"). This crib converts to a toddler bed, and then a full size bed. We like the idea of it staying with Isabella for a while.
For the dressing station, we ordered the one pictured, but without the hutch. The wall it's going on isn't that big, and we felt like the hutch overwhelmed things a bit, although it would be gorgeous in a bigger room. Maybe we'll try to get it when we move her to a "big girl" room. Fortunately, the nursery has two closets, one with drawers and cubbies. We also have some built-in bookshelves in that room.
Then we ordered a glider rocker. We are hoping it will fit in our nursery, but ir may not without crowding the room too much. If it doesn't, it will go into the guest room next to the nursery.
I must say Tim was QUITE bossy about the whole glider rocker thing. He immediately eliminated many of the models on the floor, including anything that was fully upholstered. We ordered this model, in an oak finish that is pretty close to the finish on the crib and dresser, and in a tan microsuede fabric. We didn't get the ottoman, since that seemed like one more thing that we didn't absolutely need.
This furniture will be delivered in 8-12 weeks. Uh oh, gotta get cracking on eliminating my boxes o' junk.

Congrats! It's all beautiful.
We're finally moving Lindsey into her toddler bed today. So we'll be putting the crib away until late summer? Fall? Sometime in 2006 at least!
Very purty! I love the color of the wood. Better get crackin' on those boxes, 8-12 weeks is just around the corner.
It all looks lovely, shame about the 8-12 week delivery wait - I was going to ask if I could borrow it until ours arrives!
Before anyone reports us to child welfare, ours is supposed to be arriving at the end of the week - if not a cardbox would suffice right ;)
