2nd Trimester
nursery furniture recommendations needed
So the idea of furnishing and decorating a nursery is a bit overwhelming to me. Some folks are just natural decorators but it intimidates me. (Much like art class in elementary school.) So the easiest solution is a good quality nursery set (with crib.) Any suggestions on good brands or where to buy? Or have you gotten a set that you have loved? I've been doing internet research...and all I have is a headache.

Re: nursery furniture recommendations needed
I looove Ethan's furniture! It's pricey though- LINK
We have the April Collection, and it converts to a full bed, not a twin. It is also 'Adult sized' not children, so it will grow with him through the years. (It doesnt look to big though, and that was important) Also I loved the crib and how solid it is, also it is very 'boy' nice solid lines, not whimsy. :0)
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
We ordered a Munire.
It hasn't come yet, but it wasn't that expensive...around $650 I believe. It's convertible.
It will get here in early May.
We just purchased this collection from Babies R Us.

I'd go looking at baby stores local to you to find what you like. Most of them have very helpful staff who will tell you everything you need to know. Then order online if you want.
If you're getting a glider seriously consider one that reclines. I never knew they had that option and it would have been so much nicer for those middle of the night feedings.
Shopping for baby gear is sooo overwhelming!!!!
It helped me to pick up a copy of Baby Bargains so that I had something a little more concrete to go on. The book gives lots of good recommendations on all baby gear from several different perspectives (ie safely, price, durability, etc)
I ended up choosing the Gulliver Crib from Ikea - but then again a smaller streamlined crib was what we needed seeing that we'll need two and the nursery is small. GL!

The Bump MoM Recipe Collection
If you're really feeling overwhelmed go get Baby Bargains. A lot of the girls on here swear by it, and I found it so helpful. It gets really in depth into each brand, and how brands that have had major recalls have changed their names and are producing the exact same cribs under a different name.
