We got the gray Oxford London Lane from Babies R Us. I believe that we had to get it ordered to the store, then when it was ready, it was picked up. Shipping costed something. Just the crib, it was!

The husby and AC built it probably about 1-2 months prior to due date. I’m going to say that we didn’t make the purchase until about 6 months. Everything was a bit delayed [pregnancy post].

I purchased a mattress LATER on… on sale. I think a Sealy one.

He didn’t sleep actually sleep in the crib until around 10 months. & for awhile… then no more. Hahah. It was more of a diaper changing station for the longest time. (We did not get a diaper station! Just towels and the diaper pads.)

The portable bed, DockATot Deluxe+, that we purchased because it was recommended and introduced to me by KD. It was ever so useful! (I was so thankful to have a… recent mother to give me advice when I had questions!) Had it around the home, on the couch, the dining table (earlier on due to our dog, still having to get used to a tiny human), in the crib, on the bed, on the floor… even took it with us on our trip down to SoCal at around 5 weeks old and again at 5 months old. The point is, it’s portable. & washable.

We purchased the conversion piece that converts it to a toddler bed after he was able to climb. Helped with climbing in and out on his own. However, he no longer sleeps in there… just once in awhile. Will have to find the timing on this!

Bought 2 waterproof mattress covers thing when Babies R Us went out of business. 2 bed sheets (a zoo animal one and a muslin dino one). Then another muslin stars one for when he went to childcare and needed 1 specifically for school with his name written on it!

I did consider an entire bed set… specifically, Winnie the Pooh (with Tigger), but never got around to it. It was EMPTY. The pillow that he used was either the bobby pillow or the Leachco Snoogle Mini.

@ 2 or so, he ended up just using a regular pillow.

Blankets were the Aden + Anais muslin swaddle blankets ones through 1 year. Increasing from 1 to 2 to 3. Then, we gave him the Aden + Anais Dream Blanket (2 of them) and a Mickey Aden + Anais blanket that’s slightly larger. These were like a 4-layer one. Later picked up a tiny dinosaur one too.

Tested out the HALO Sleepsack one day and liked those. Probably started when he was closer to 1… and still wasn’t crawling/walking. Also got a few cotton/microfleece ones from Carter’s sleepbags.

But seriously, he sleeps on our bed which has been upgraded since he’s been around. :] [here]

Along with the purchase of 2 sets of these Casper Waterproof Mattress Protector prior and, especially, during the potty training phase [here]. It’s quite helpful!
