Our Crib!!!!

I am so excited!!  Colleen surreptitiously bought us, as an early baby-shower gift, our dream crib.  It is Sorelle's Sophia crib, which is a convertible crib that coverts from baby to toddler to day-bed to full-blown adult bed!  She even bought the add-ons to facilitate all of the conversions for later.  Here are a couple images:

This first one I've put on here so you can see what it looks like all dressed up in a functional room.  It's a bit darker wood than the one she chose for us.  She chose (perfectly!) a Cherry Pine finish, which is still dark, but with red tones, like the second image.

And here's the exact color of our (well, our baby's) crib:

Some other features of the crib, from the distributor's website:

Suitable for newborns and toddlers, the Sophia Four in One Pine Crib can convert from a crib to a day bed, toddler bed and full-sized headboard and footboard.
Features:

• 
  Crib easily converts to daybed, toddler bed, and full size bed
  
• 
  Recessed hardware for baby's protection
  
• 
  Non-toxic finish
  
• 
  Exceeds all U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Standards
  
• 
  Available in Cherry Pine
  
• 
  Crib has 3 mattress levels, so that mattress can be lowered as child grows and is able to stand in crib
  
• 
  Optional full size conversion rails transform crib into toddler bed, daybed, or full bed
  

Also, it is eco-friendly, and JPMA certified (though I don't know what this means).  


We are just so grateful to her for doing this.  It is seriously one HUGE weight off of our shoulders, and we are so happy it is both sustainable by virtue of being more eco-friendly than others and because we can get a lot of use out of it.  I also am super-stoked because it's beautiful.  We don't really have a ton of money to throw down, and we've been looking for good deals on Craigslist and stuff.  We've seen some beautiful pieces, but most of the ones I dream about are a little out of my price range ($1400 for a crib, folks?? Seriously???).  But this one is a dream!  


And we can get beautiful organic cotton, bamboo, and hemp bedding to go with it.  If we can swing it financially (follow the link ahead, and you'll see how pricey they can get), I'm thinking of Holy Lamb's crib bumper and cover, maybe, along with the mattress pad/topper and wool puddle-preventer.  This way we can purchase an affordable, synthetic mattress but still make sure baby touches the most natural stuff possible.    


Super exciting...
