Wedding Woes

my baby-related AW...apparenty my crib came today

and changing table.

'course, I agreed to work on my day off tomorrow beause one of the alt. HSs is coming in and needs me for like 1.5 hours...(I can't pass them off and I REALLY want to do right by those kids.  If it was Yuppieville, I'd ahve found a way to pass it off but this is a good program) so I can't start putting things together yet

And we don't have carpet yet and my dad told me, speaking from experience, NEVER "put a crib together in any room except the room you want it in".
:-P

    That sounds like really, really good advice.

    Apparently he made mistake twice...once in building a crib for a family friend and once in building the crib for big-sis (he remembered that when babysis and I were born).

    He said he's a slow learner.
    But that they do NOT fit through doorways w/o partial disassembling, which, after spending hours w/ cursing whoever wrote the directions and assembling? isn't fun.

    i get the whole "not wanting to lug the crib around / disassemble to fit through doors" but are they really that hard to put together? I've put together enough Ikea and Crate&Barrel furniture that I can't see a crib being too difficult.

    Barbie, it depends.  Our crib was okay until it came down to the metal frame.  You had to hold your whatzit high enough for the whosit to be lower and lock into the thingie.  Once it's locked in, you have to bolt it in virtually equally all around until each bolt is in place.  Pain.in.the.ass.

    When we decided to drop DD's crib, we dropped it all the way - we weren't doing the metal frame dance anymore.
