We have a crib!

So we have known for quite a while that the crib was already taken care of, since before I was pregnant. You see, my mom has saved the Jenny Lind crib that my brother and I both used when we were babies. She has stored it at their various homes for the past 33 years! She went with my Grandpa to buy it back in 1978, a few months before my brother was born. And when she realized she was having a girl, five and a half years later, she went and bought a canopy for the same crib. And here we are, preparing to use it for our son in 2012. Crazy!

Even though my brother and I were fine, since this model is a drop-side crib, we are going to make it stationary to not take any chances. We were not wild about the dark wood, 

so Jon took on the huge task of sanding and painting the crib. 

We forgot to paint those buggers in the corner white! Back on the (massive) to-do list....

 We are super stoked to use this crib because unlike cribs you buy today, this one is made of real wood, was constructed in the USA and is generally of higher quality. 

I guess you could say, "they don't make 'em like they used to".

Almost ready for our bambino!
