I am so grateful because two of my friends really got me set up with this nursery. My friend Kelly is letting me borrow the crib. My friend Beth let me borrow the bee pattern, along with lamp, curtains, table. diaper stacker, bee hive,etc. I went to visit Beth in Franklin, Tn when I was about 15 weeks pregnant and I brought ALL that stuff home on a plane. It was terrible carrying the table through the airport but, so worth it after everything was put together. Thank you Beth and Kelly! I really have a hodge podge of things in the room. If I think it is cute, I put it in there.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go

You should be able to find alot about the angel care monitor here...but I want to share with you what I know.
It is a monitoring system, but better than that detects when there in no movement in the crib for 15 seconds. An alarm goes off that is VERY loud and will wake you no matter what. Basically it works just like a monitor, but it has a sensor pad that goes under the mattress and is connected into the monitor where the baby is sleeping. We used this in our cradle and then moved it into her bed with her. She is still sleeping on it. We have only had one false alarm and that was the third night we were home. It went off in the early morning hours because a wire had come loose due to our dog. However, it went off and it woke us from a dead sleep.
We have NEVER worried about Emma when she sleeps or that she would stop breathing. I have felt so safe and secure with this and encourage everyone I know that is pregnant to register or buy one. It is so worth it in so many ways and actually just takes the place of your regular monitor. The monitors are portable just like normal ones.
Ours was actually purchased from Babies R Us.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
