Thanks to the help from you lovely ladies, we decided to go with crib bedding that does not include bumpers. Now we just have to pick which one! DH okay'd all these, and I kind of love them all! What do you think?
Note: I am most likely painting one of our walls with horizontal stripes in either light blue or gray (like this: http://biesinger.blogspot.com/2011/01/finns-nursery.html) in case that sways your decision
