Dropside Crib Vs Non Dropside Crib?

We have a problem.

We have been using the Jenny Lind crib that my mother-in law used for my husband.

Its 26+ years old and in great shape.

It has been through a set of twin boys and then our nephew 6+ yrs ago.

We love the crib and would love to use it again for the next baby.

 Ive recently seen a few articles online regarding the use of a old drop side crib.

I know the goverment has issused a big recall and said for all companies to stop rpoducing them and saleing them.

They sale a Jenny Lind with stationary sides but i dont want to have to invest in the new crib.

I just dont see spending another 200 on a crib when we have a prefectly working crib in our house to use.

I dont want to sound selfish or cheap for the safety of our child.

Our old Jenny Lind has the long metal rod sliding system so unless the wood breaks or we lose on of the screws it seems fine to me.

Our current crib doesnt even come apart for storage it just collapses down into a long flat bed.

We plan on moving Hope to a toddler bed when we become pregnant hopefully soon.

I would love to hear everyones opinion on this topic as we figure out what we will do.

We are trying to prepare now instead of the last minute in case of another premature delivery with the next baby.

Hope everyone is having a great week and a Happy Hump day.



We are offically trying....

My most recent cycle started on Wed feb 2, 2011 while I was stuck at work due to a horrible winter storm blowing through North Texas. This cycle started exactly 2 years after my last cycle that resulted in the birth of our daughter Hope Elizabeth. Im proably reading into things to much as im thinking that this means something to us. I started clomid on sun  Feb 6. I will start taking a daily ovulation test on sun feb 13 and if everything works out i will get my positive ovulation test around cycle day 17 or on feb 19. I have a follow up appointment with my ob on friday feb 18 and should know more about what will come in the next cycles if this cycle is a failure which i dont think it will be.

Thanks to all my supportive friends and co-workers as we have started trying to add one more baby to our family. I couldnt stay positive and sane if it werent for you all.

* this post is a week late.A snow day at work and away from my family:(

I forgot to post from my phone last week when i typed this up. I found it in my draft folders.

As i sit here alone after a long day i truly and thankful beyond words for my family.

Ive been up since 430 am this morning tuesday Feb 1 2011 and at work since 630 am. Ive now only seen my sweet daughter through pictures and videos over the last 16 hrs. I didnt know it would be this hard to just be away from my little family. Granted im only 4 miles away but the roads are awful and i work at the local hospital. My sweet girl wants to go outside so bad everytime i talk to my mom. Yet she has been sick this last week and just getting better.

The weather here has been awful. We have about 2-4 inches of ice under the dusting of snow that blew through today. Most local schools are closed and most local bussiness have closed.

Im sitting here thinking how will i be able to leave my sweet girl for a weekend 100 miles away with the hubby for Valentines day in 2 short weeks if im this emotional about being a work and just 4 miles away. I know she will be happy and just fine with her nana for those days we are away. My gosh she is 16 months old and very independent but she still needs her momma and dada.

Thats enough of my rambling.
