We were expecting sometime in June, so we figured ordering a crib in March should give us sufficient time to receive and set it up before our son's arrival. Our crib was coming from Europe so the sales rep said that it should arrive in 8 weeks maximum - plenty of time! Either she was a really 'good' sales person or the manufacturing was really bad - after 8 weeks we called to check up, and found out that it would probably be delayed another few weeks. To make a long story short, my wife was much more efficient in manufacturing and delivering than the crib company.
No worries - we've read and heard that most newborns don't sleep in the crib anyways. So we kind of improvised. We used a pack 'n play (Orange Oak Playard $129.99 Retail) and a changing pad to create a makeshift crib in our bedroom. The changing pad actually works really well because it keeps him from moving left or right - he's safe and secure the whole night. Plus the pack 'n play is easily moveable, so it was great to have him in the same room with us. AND, if we needed to change him, he was waiting and ready right then and there!
