I have been looking for a stationary Jenny Lind Crib too! I just spoke to people at Million Dollar Baby -- they have just switched their Jenny Lind Cribs to being stationary and received the stock. They will go on sale in the next few weeks, so if you aren't due for a couple of months, you might be able to wait for that. Good luck!

If you have the time or inclination, I would go with a neutral color on the wall, and then give one or all of the walls large polka dots with paint or wall decals that include pink. Something like this great room which was already posted on AT:

We share our bedroom with our 7 month old son. I agree that it's easier to share a space that you don't need all day, because if your baby is a light sleeper, you'll continuously interrupt his naps by going in to get stuff.

You should definitely try the Ergo out if you're petite. I am 5'3 and a size 4 and find it a little bulky with my six month old. I tend to use a ring sling more often now that he's bigger. When he was smaller, I used a wrap sling (the Moby) every single day.

I'd put this in our living room so my son has a special place of his own to sit and read or play. So cool!

We have the svan and my finicky son has always liked it. For the first twomonths, it was the only place we could pu him down without him crying. But, he couldn't bounce himself in it until he weighed 13 lbs, so one of us would have to tap our foot on the back to keep it in motion if he was especially fussy. Most of the time, he seemed to like it just as a chair with toy loops, though.

I have a Monica bed in my guest room and think it's absolutely gorgeous. We don't sleep in it regularly but every once in a while take a vacation to sleep in the guest room and it's really comfortable. We do not use a box spring with it, and it doesn't need one. We've had it for two years, and the fabric has no signs of wear (it gets used probably 1 weekend a month for most of the year and then most of the summer). The fit between the mattress and bed is tight, so you will need a new mattress.

I really wanted to buy the nurseryworks storytime rocker for my soon to be born son, becuase I love the design and was able to find it at a local store on sale. But, alas, it wasn't for me. Previous poster was right about the rocking motion not being smooth --I also found that the arms weren't at a good height for nursing for me (I'm 5'3), the back was too low for resting and compared to a Dutalier nursing chair (which is admittedly ugly) it was not comfortable at all. So, I had to swallow my design pride and buy an ugly Dutalier nursing chair which felt crazy comfortable and glides beautifully.
