I thought I'd throw this out there to this group since you've give such great tips to me already! We had a crib picked out that had a changing tableing a drawers attached but my mom went to order it and it's discontinued.
We are going to have her in our bedroom from October till spring when we move and we need a crib that will multi-purpose but not be gigantic. We don't want to have her sleep in a pack or bassinet. (Hubby wants a good, firm support for her.)
Any suggestions of places to shop? You all are such good resources, I can't go wrong asking for suggestions here!
Thanks for everything so far. I lurk a lot but I appreciate all the posts. You've all made me laugh and cry. It's a great community!
Re: Cribs for smaller spaces?
My mom keeps one like this at their beach house. We use it all the time and DD has been very comfortable in it.

We actually bought our crib this weekend, and babies r us had this one:

It's a mini-crib with a changing table too.
You don't really need the changing table and, IMO, it just takes up room.
From what I've heard, people in smaller spaces really like the Ikea cribs:
