Why not try moving the toddler bed into your room until your baby becomes a better sleeper? We did this, and, after one year, have successfully moved the toddler bed back into the nursery. Having the toddler bed in our room was not bad, either. He stayed in his bed almost all the time.

We have some, and they are awesome for protecting wood floors. We wash them when they come off the chairs. They last much longer than foam pads, and they are not a choking hazard. Ours are dark brown, so they aren't very noticeable.

In Columbus, OH, we were only able to find one daycare that took cloth diapers. They're a Montessori school, so maybe try some of those? Part of the Montessori Method is early potty training.

Broccoli raab in addition to the spinach, ricotta, and mozzarella.

We use a three-tiered hanging fruit basket for wipes, creams, thermometer, etc. It works great, and is very cheap.

If the mom is pumping breastmilk, pumping supplies would be helpful. The hospital will probably provide milk containers, but your friend will want some microwave steam cleaning bags for her breast pump parts. We were never able to go grocery shopping, so if you can find a service that delivers frozen food to homes that would probably be much appreciated as well.

How about putting in a deadbolt that requires a key to open it from the inside?

It's 23" to the top of the range (not the shelf).

I have been wanting to make a lamp for the last two years -- how cool!
