Pack N Play changing table

My husband and I decided that our girls will share a room.  The principal reason is that we only have a three bedroom house and we use our guest bedroom enough to warrant not giving it up for an infant. 

For the short term, Emma is sleeping in our room in a Rock N' Play Sleeper.  This makes night feedings so much easier.  My only problem is that the changing table is located in the girls' shared bedroom across the house.  If I have to change Emma in the middle of the night, there is a high risk of waking up Molly.  Translation - trying to comfort two crying children at 3 in the morning.  Not my idea of a good time.  Solution: turning my Pack N Play into a changing station.  I purchased a Pack N Play that has two levels for the sleeping surface when Molly was born.  Some versions have a dedicated changing station.  When Emma was born, I set it at the highest level, put all of the changing necessities in a basket and voila - instant changing table.  Is it a little low - yes.  Is it better than waking up Molly - absolutely.

Cost: The cost of the basket.  I already had the Pack N Play.
