OT: What’s up with all the earthquakes?

Nah, it was just a ding on the outside wood paneling. Purely cosmetic, but you know how wives are.[/quote]I wouldn’t worry about it too much. My son added a number of cosmetic defects to his crib railing courtesy of his teeth. Might I recommend some rail guards if the crib doesn’t come with them already.

Congratulations on the soon to be new addition to your family.

[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]But it does not hurt to be prepared I guess,

Now Katla, that’s something to worry about.[/quote]

Yes! I’m surprised at how few people know that there is a relationship between Katla and that other volcano no one can pronounce. I wonder what will happen to the Euro then?

Here’s a better map of our fault zone that I found:

Congrats on the baby…

I think you/wife first thing you need to get over is caring about way the crib or any baby furniture looks..It will save your pockets… Generally, it’s gonna get thrashed, and specifically for the crib, you might end up not really using it for a long time…..At least it was for me.

1)In the first couple of months, the baby wants to be swaddled, so you probably are better off sturdy yet inexpensive bassinet.

2)In the next couple of months, you probably would want to get a co-sleeper to make it easier for your wife if she has to get up in the middle of the night.

3)Probably at a little over 1 year, do you actually need the crib. But then about 2 1/2, you can end up putting said baby in her toddler bed. At least that’s what I did.
Her original crib now holds all her toys and stuff animals after about 1 year of total use.

Effective crib use was very low in my case. She started sleep on a full size twin mattress at age 2.5 that was placed on the carpetted floor with no bedframe.

That, or you end up with a kid that wants to sleep in your bed with you and your spouse.

Furniture at places like Pottery Barn for Kids looks nice. But seriously, it’s overkill both in practicality of use and on your wallet.
