Where Gracie Slept

While I was pregnant with Gracie, I found one of these at Once Upon a Child for a fraction of the retail price.  I had never seen one before, but thought it would be a perfect travel bed for a little baby...just what we'd need on our trip!

It sure was.  It worked great for a small baby.

It was really to have something lightweight and small-it easily fit in my suitcase with everything I packed for the kids and myself.  And it was nice to let Grace nap in whatever room worked at the moment.  At night she was in our room, and during the day she could sleep anywhere that it was convenient for everyone in the house...since we relied on our friends and family for their hospitality for most of this trip.

If you're local, feel free to borrow our baby bed!  It's not something I'd go out and buy since it's only useful for a short time, but it was really nice to have along.
