Cribs, Bedding, and Elvis

We got the bedding for the little guy and I love it! After looking around for a while we pretty much decided that we HATE all boy bedding. It is all very "typical" little boy stuff and we wanted something different. So here is what we got, with a few modifications: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/nb51/index.cfm?pkey=cboys%2Dnursery%2Dbedding%7Cb
I got the bumper and the crib skirt, but not the sheets or the quilt. I am planning to do his room in navy blue, white, and yellow so I got a yellow gingham crib sheet instead of the white to help tie it all in. I think it looks so good together. I wanted to go very simple on the bedding so I could put a little bit more up on the walls. Of course he will have a sports themed room room and I found some canvas pictures that I like, but am not sure about yet. I love when they have the big letters and spell out the babys name so I got some of those too. I may actually end up getting the blanket/quilt later, but I'm not sure. I may get a yellow quilt to bring out that color anyway. I will have it embroidered with his name and date of birth so I have to wait until he actually is born anyway to have it done.
We are going to start really looking for the crib/furniture too. We actually went today to Babies R Us and found one crib that we liked, but it was SO MUCH cheaper than all of the other ones I am concerned that it may not be of the highest quality. I love the Pottery Barn cribs, but they are ridiculously expensive. I am thinking we will probably end up getting one from JC Penny. That is where most people I know have gone.
Now...you may be wondering where Elvis fits into this....this kid LOVES Elvis! It's so strange. I was in the car and put in my Elvis CD and he went nuts! I wanted to see if it was just a coincidence and as soon as I turned it off he stopped. I turned it back on and he started again. Then I put in my Beatles CD to see if he truly had good taste in music, but to my dismay there was no action (give him time and I'll make him love it!). But basically, he seems to really like Elvis! Nothing else has made him kick like that before...maybe I should buy him some blue suede shoes!
