should I or shouldn't I?????

here's my latest predicament...Ever since I've seen my sister's super cute and awesome bassinet that she has for Baby Lilly, I have changed my way of thinking. I used to think, what a waste-it's just an extra piece of furniture that takes up space and can only be used for a few months anyway. But seeing Lilly and her bassinet, I want one for Nate now. I see how useful it is for Suzanne, and how Lilly can nap, and Suzanne can wheel her from room to room. And I think I would like to have Nate have his very own little bed in our room so that I don't have to get up and walk all the way down the hall in the middle of the night. I've been browsing Craigslist because that's my newest obsession, and I found this:





Now, is this or is this not the cutest ever? I love that it's a gender based, but it's not overly little boyish. And it's cute and frilly without being over the top. The best part about it though is that it's only $45!

And now that I've seen it, I want it....I want it bad. My only problem is that I can't quite seem to talk myself into it yet. As you can see from my last post, I don't really have a lot of space in our bedroom, but I still want it. And, to get a little bed thingy that has walls so that the baby can sleep in bed with us safely would cost about $50, so this is really more econical. Not that I really need either. After all, Devon slept in bed with me without all that new-fangled, family bed safety stuff and he turned out just fine. Ok, let me rephrase that. He never had a problem or safety issue in that aspect.

I think that I will end up getting it, as long as no one else snatches it up before I get tired of trying to talk myself into it. I just need help convincing myself I guess.

GET IT!!!! Whether it is a bassinet or a mini crib (which is what Ashlee slept in for the first year or so of her life) it is definitely worth it to have your baby in your room for the first few months. DO IT!
