Crib!

The mattress for the crib arrived in the mail today! We ended up choosing the Colgate Classica Foam

I spent countless hours researching mattresses. There are a ton of options, hundreds of reviews, and annoying websites that make you feel like a bad mom if you don't spend $400 for a crib mattress. I was not about to spend that much for a mattress. Luckily I found this great website that gives you the top rated mattresses by category. Our price range was more mid-range so I was thrillled to find this top rated mattress for $150. The Colgate Classica is top rated among all crib mattresses tested by the Nation's best consumer product magazines, and its made in America! Here is the website if anyone is interested http://www.bestcovery.com/best-crib-mattress
This website is great because it gives you information about the product, pricing, and Amazon reviews. I don't know about you, but I read product reviews ALL the time on Amazon, even if I'm not purchasing the item from their site.

The crib and the rest of the furniture is on its way and we are really excited to start working on the nursery.

Here are some pictures of the furniture we chose. The dresser is DaVinci- Piedmont Changer and the Crib is Billy by Nurseryworks. Its the Twinkle 3 in 1. It will eventually convert to a toddler bed.
I realize they don't match perfectly, but I wanted to stay away from being too matchy matchy. Plus the changer option they reccomended with the crib was just plain ugly! We also have a glider and plan to choose some cube shelving for against the wall.
