Our crib was delivered on Tuesday and it is beautiful! It is fully assembled... for the 2nd time... and is loads more awesome than I thought it would be. It's a little bit more modern looking than I'm use to - but I'm glad I took the leap to buy a "cool crib." I love it - it has really nice dark wood on the head a foot ends, so it fits in with our other furniture really well. It should look really cute with the decor I have in mind too...
Alan and I originally assembled it in the living room, where we would have more room to put it together... big mistake... once assembled, we tried carrying it into the nursery to find out that it was too wide for the door frame! Alan knew it would happen too... but we still didn't take a piece of the crib over to the the door to check... I was hell bent on getting it assembled.
...so we had to un-assemble it then re-assemble it in the nursery. Well worth it - it's a super sturdy piece and was relatively inexpensive. Should give us the 4+ years of use we need it for.
Other baby news - the big debate has been what Penelope's middle name should be. So far we have two options: Ann and Lane.
Ann: My middle name is Ann, Alan's Grandmother's name is Anne, Alan's Mom's middle name is Anne, and my Great-Grandmother's name is Ann - so it's sentimental buuuuut... her initials would spell PAP (like pap smear... which I do not like). Plus Penny Ann can sound really nasal-ey when said wrong.
Lane: Penelope (Penny) Lane Primm... Penny Lane... as in the Beatles song. I think it's super cute, but Alan needs convincing.
