Bye Bye Crib

Saturday was a sad day at our house, Hallie woke up from her last night in her crib. (It will forever be HER crib :)) After we got her up, I took all the bedding off, and then Eric took the crib apart and shipped the pieces back to the manufacturer. Our crib got recalled, and we've been putting off taking our crib apart, knowing that Hallie would have to sleep in the pack-n-play for a long while, until we can get a new crib. But more so, I think Eric and I both, were sad to see it go, and we tried many ways to get around having to get rid of it. We both LOVE our crib, and are quite attached to it sentimentally. I know this sound silly, but no other crib will be the same. It's the crib we brought our baby home too, the crib Eric was so excited to put together, what we planned her nursery around, the crib I spent hours making bedding for, and the thing that made it real that we really were having a baby. I mean I understand it is just a piece of furniture, easily replaced, but it just won't be the same. It is just a frustrating situation, but it must be done. So here is the last picture of Hallie in her crib...ever.
