hangin in the crib

holy crap...who knew there could be a 10 week leadtime on some brand name specialty crib? If you're gonna buy a Ragazzi, Pali, Berg, etc crib at some specialty store, get ready to do some purchasing weeks in advance. Maybe we should just buy him a Wal-Mart crib :-)

And then there is the question of standard crib or "convertible" crib. Convertible such that you can turn it into a toddler bed, then a regular bed. The standard crib is great if you know you're going to have another kid...Otherwise its a pretty big upfront cost for something that might not be fully utilized.
