pack n play
We have been trying to figure out what to get for Parker to sleep in for the 8 weeks we will be in Australia after he is born. We looked into buying very basic bassinets with the plan of leaving it behind when we left. That plan fell apart when the cheapest one we could find was $300. Keep in mind that the Australian dollar has been rising and is almost equal to the American dollar. We then got the idea to buy a pack n play that we could use and bring home. We looked at 6 different stores and were very disappointed with the selection. They were very basic (the traditional playpen) and still very expensive. The only one with a bassinet attachment was $400. Thankfully, we picked one out and Ben and Kathy bought and brought it for us from the US! It was a much better deal and came with all the works... a playpen for when he gets older, a bassinet to sleep in at night, a daytime cozy sleeper and a changing table! We love it! It is amazing how much more prepared I feel knowing that Parker will have a place to rest his head.

It looks wonderful. Thanks, Ben and Kathy!
So great! We have that same one and I loved having it in our room for the first few weeks. Vertiy seemed very comfortable and the pattern is so cute as well! Enjoy all the baby prep :)
Looks good!! Did you set it up the second you could? It will be so helpful and won't be too bad to bring home. Does it make it feel alittle bit more real that you will be having a baby here soon?!
love ya guys
we did set it up right away... but it took up our whole living space, so we took it down. then after the smiths left, we rearranged our apartment (the one and only room we have) to accommodate for it... then we put it back up and looked at it for a few days... it still took up a large majority of out floor space, so we have taken it down until the time comes. I does make things seem real, I just cannot wait to meet little Parker and lay his little head in the comfy cozy sleeping nook of his pack n play. I really think he will love it!
