Am I being selfish?

Went anonymous due to identifying screen name.


Background:  I am 30 weeks preggo.  DH and I have a good relationship with SIL and her husband, BIL.  We enjoy each other's company and see each other about every other month.  They have DN, who is 11 months old.


SIL and BIL live in our hometown, approximately 4 hours from where DH and I live.  Oddly enough, DH and I currently live in BIL hometown.  When SIL and BIL are in town to visit, they stay with BIL's family and visit us for a few hours.  They have never stayed in our home.


Current Issue:  BIL's mom is having some fairly serious surgery and they are coming to town to be his parents.  Due to the surgery, they don't feel like they want to stay with BIL's family, so they asked if they could stay with us.  We have a guest room and DH and I didn't think it would be a big deal.


SIL called me yesterday to discuss when they will be in town next week and mentioned how happy she is that we have a crib up in the nursery for DN to sleep in so they won't have to bring a crib for him.  I was a little surprised by this and asked why they weren't bring the pack-n-play and she said that she refuses to put her son in that death trap and he only sleeps in cribs.


I got upset and said that I had wanted our baby to be the first one to sleep in the crib.  SIL took offense to this, told me that it was my nephew, and it's just for a few nights.


I talked to DH and he thinks it's a weird situation but he gets why I'm upset.  I decided to sleep on it and now I think I might be acting a bit selfish, but I'm not totally convinced it's me.  DH said it doesn't matter to him either way.


Should I just get over this and let my DN sleep in the crib?
