Well, we finally took down the pack n play bassinet in our room. Jack hasn't slept in it in months - it had basically become a diaper-changing station - and we were ready to get the space back. We replaced it with an actual changing table, which is half the size and super-practical with all the shelves. It looks a lot nicer and is really convenient.I was surprised, though, at how ambivalent I felt about taking it down. I guess because it was Jack's newborn crib - he slept there the first two months. He was a terrible sleeper, making noise and waking up all the time, but he was right there and I could reach out and touch him or look at him. Taking it down brought back a lot of those feelings - being happy, tired, worried about nursing, and wondering what came next. We used to bundle him up in blankets and he would actually stay in the position we laid him down in! That changed soon enough, but for awhile it seemed like he'd be a newborn forever.
