A crib/bassinet question from a mommy to be?

I plan on registering in the next few Weeks, and I have a question. Dh and I live in a one bedroom apartment. We plan on buying a crib and keeping it our room. Now my question is, will a baby sleep right away in their crib, or should I buy a bassinet as well. I don't want the baby in our bed. I'm way to nervous of a person and I would be too worried. Any suggestions??

My babies slept in there crib from day one.

From my experience they'll sleep anywhere flat and cool. Haha.. figure in their small world their hospital bassett thingy is HUGE !!! So a crib is fine.

Arianna could have cared less where she slept as long as she was swaddled, cool, fed and clean.

If I had to do it over, I wouldn't bother with the bassinet, especially if you are going to have the crib in your room.

DS was in the crib from day one.

if you're in a 1 bedroom apartment, i would just go with a crib. there's no reason for a bassinet in that case.

Okay thanks!! I will stick with the crib. I was pretty sure it was fine, but I wanted to make sure. My sister told me that not one of her three kids would sleep in the bassinet, so I was reluctant on getting one.
