Mattress Update

If one more person tells me how much my belly has dropped, I'll just scream. My due date is June 3rd, but everyone seems to think I'm going sooner. Therefore, my anxiety about getting ready has increased greatly.

After my shower on Saturday, my mother in law will be sleeping over. That Sunday, Jeff and I plan to take apart the bedroom and turn it into the nursery. Yesterday my family bought over the crib and changing table. Last night I ordered the sleep positioner and the new crib mattress.

I found buying the mattress a daunting task because of the regulations and the chances of SIDS. I did research in the March of Dimes, Consumer Reports, About.com, and Baby Catalog. I was happy to find that all the information was similar. The most difficult piece of information was deciding which to buy; foam or coil. The information claimed out of the top 5 mattresses rated safest, the number one mattress was foam.
Knowing that nugget of information along with the other factors listed in my sources, I finally came to my decision.

I purchased the Classica I by Colgate. It is the firmest foam mattress and has the necessary triple protection top. You can purchase the Colgate mattresses from buybuybaby, buy I bought mine at www.kidsurplus.com.
This is an important purchase, take your time like I did
