** A true nursery is a luxury that not many (in our situation) have in the city. For the first year, Bun gets a pack n'play, a dresser (that matches her mother's) with a changing bad on top, a shelf for books and a few baskets of toys. We don't have bedding or colors or cute prints or a crib even. Our future children will probably have those things and I may feel a brief twinge of guilt for depriving our first child of darling accessories. But then I'll remind myself that our first child gets to be born in Washington Heights with views of the city skyline. That beats a crib, right?

I think we are simply building character at the tender age of newborn.
Cribs are overrated. And enjoy that view from the delivery room. I know I did...it did a good job of distracting me from labor, for awhile anyway.
right! fyi - when johnny was a baby and cori and david lived in ny, johnny slept in a drawer. no room for even a pack and play. bun is already one lucky girl. (and not that it matters but... eleanor franchesca is still one of my favs.)
Um...just so you know, I think you and Jason are some of the coolest people ever so your sweet little girl won't even care about not having a nursery. Jeff and I, on the other hand, need all the help we can get in the cool department.
As for the name situation, that would be stressing me out. I have had the names for our children picked out since we were married...I am a freak like that hahaha :)
Honestly, I think the nursery is so much more for me than for the baby! She'd get by just fine in a pack n play in our room, like she'd have done if we were still in NYC. And we're not doing a bedding set even though we DO have a crib. Just a sheet. I'm scared of bumpers and the quilts are unnecessary so I just found some sheets I liked and she'll be fine. :) So excited for your little bun to arrive. Can't wait to hear all about it (and hopefully be inspired for our little bun to arrive shortly after!)
She won't even know she has no nursery or will she care! She'll be more snug in her drawer in your cozy apartment.Little bun has parents with great priorities. So excited for you!
Love it! You are wonderful, Erica. And your baby will be too. (And at this point, I don't even know the difference between a crib and a pack and play. Hopefully the bun won't either.)
