It seems to me that it could be a bookcase for some other room in the house for now... and later on it can be moved to the nursery for bubs. It's all about the way you look at things.

If you really love it, buy it *for yourself*, and use it somewhere else that's not the nursery and move it later. I guess that changes the whole idea just a little. Sometimes it's the way you see things that is the scary part of it, and looking at it at a slightly different angle makes things just that little bit different and more tolerable.

People may have different ideas, but you need to do what you are most comfortable with. If you let it pass by, you may just find something else that you love even more.

And yes, Loula, that was a melt down on my end - although most of my freaking out was done in email and over the phone to my gyn friend. She's a dear friend and I love her to bits, but I'm so damned thankful for her career choice right now!
