I am currently pregnant with number 3 and yes, I agree, crib sets are so expensive!. From my experience with babies 1 and 2 I can tell you that all you need are nice comfortable fitted sheets. The quilt is just an ornament, never used it, need to remove it to lay down your baby for safety reasons. Mine was most of the time hanged on the wall like decoration. Bumper will be removed shortly, also for safety.
I just found very unexpensive skirts at target for 10 to 15 dollars, you can buy a nice crib skirt to match with the color of your sheets and that should be more than enough! let's live simply and avoid marketing traps!
I am trying to go back to basics and have a simple life............ just relax, and don't forget, the most precious element in your crib will be your beloved child

We recently moved to DC and I am 10 weeks pregnant. This is my 3rd pregnancy, had health complications in my other 2, preclamsia and gestational diabetes (both cases were succesfully conducted and I gave birth to 2 beautiful daughters). I am really desperate trying to find a good high risk pregnancy doctor in DC that could understand my worries and concerns and help me accomplish a healty pregnancy and a happy healty delivery. Sice I am new in DC, I feel lost in the doctors field. I don´t know how to find the right practice. Went to Reiter Hill but was not lucky, some of my lab results got lost. I was very upset. Tried to make an appointment with Dr. Landy in Georgetown but she is no longer taking new patients. I have an appointment with Dr. Jean C. Bolan, can anyone share with me any references/experiences regarding Dr. Bolan? Any advice? Any recommendations? Thanks for taking the time, I would really appreciate some help here
