Crib sets, not Presidents

As the days remaining before River's arrival seem to plummet at an alarming rate, my excitement is starting to turn into panic. I must embarrassingly report that his nursery has not progressed much since the "Before" pictures were taken. This has caused me considerable stress because I feel that it reflects poorly on my organizational and mothering skills. Dumb, I know especially since he'll be in a bassinet in his mom and dad's room for the first few months of his life!

However, I don't want to slack on this because if I think things are busy now, when River arrives I will be beside myself! I have found 6 crib sets that I like online because I can't find anything at Target that we like (let's not even discuss the drama with Babies 'R' Us right now!) and I need all of the help I can get narrowing it down so we can purchase a crib set and get that out of the way! So in honor of this years historic election, I'm holding an early election... but on crib sets instead of Presidents :)

Before I unveil the pictures of the crib sets I like, allow me to give you a little info on our theme. I like the colors blue, green and brown (as you can see from the crib set candidates) and like bears, monkeys and frogs for themes. We already have the light green sign and frog from my sister that MUST be included so don't forget to choose which one you think would match those as well. Our crib is light blond wood, the carpet is baby blue, the trim in the room is dark wood (70's style), and the walls will be painted a neutral off white color/tan color. That being said, I would like to introduce to you the 2008 Crib Set Candidates for River's Nursery... May I get a drum roll please?

In addition to the picture, if you click on the title, it is linked to a page with more details on each set. Please take some time to browse through the candidates and once you have made your decision, vote using the poll on the left side of the page. If you choose the "Other" category and have other suggestions, please include a link in a comment or email if you have my email address. For all those who have had problems posting comments, please don't fear the poll. It is as simple as a couple of clicks, just check the one you like and then hit "vote!" You can vote for more than one if you are undecided and you can vote as many times as you'd like. The poll will be open for the next 6 days at which time we will announce the winner and post pictures of the candidate once it is purchased and set up :)

Thank you all for your help! I can't wait to see which candidate wins!
