nursery details

So I've been very very good. I have not bought anything yet for baby.

I did spend some time yesterday perusing the Internet. Lo and Behold I found an adorable NEUTRAL bed set. If Dave and I were to make our nursery for a girl.. I really like the Penelope bedding from PBK. It's got cute little morning doves or small birds on it. Green/pink/yellow.

If Dave and I were to decorate for a boys nursery I really like the airplane look. I prefer soft colors as opposed to bright colors.

Here's the bedroom set I adore. It's at buybuybaby. What do you think? I doubt we'll buy white furniture. I think we'd prefer the dark espresso furniture. We'll see.

Here's what I love about this set.. It's neutral, soft tones, beautiful textures, and it's got that quilting effect I adore. :) It took awhile to find it.

I think we'll register for :

• 4 piece crib set (bumper, sheet, quilt, and dust ruffle)
• mobile
• mobile arm/cloth cover
• patch pillow to go with a glider potentially
• 3 piece block window set w/ ducky
• valance
• window panel drapery

I know we are buying a crib and a dresser. We also will buy a full sized bed for the room for when grandma wants to sleep over and help. Storage will be key with this nursery.. I need shelving/baskets under the crib in addition to underneath the full size bed. So I think I can splurge and get the valance & window panels since we aren't buying a changing station/dresser. If we can squeeze it into the room a bookshelf with lamp and a glider too! 

I'm envisioning at this time: white block lettering over the crib. I want to get some book shelves for keepsakes like 'baby booties bronzed', piggy bank, a plate with me/length/weight/time of birth/birth date/ and foot prints, photo album,  and a memory box for the loose stuff that we'll acquire like hospital bracelet,  'baby's first hair cut', 'first tooth', etc. I also think I want to get another trio of frames for my 8 month maternity pictures, mom/dad picture, and baby's first photo shoot in Edwards Hospital.

I also like the idea of taking a football/softball/baseball/  and having the baby's foot print over it. I think Dave would like this since he was really active with little league but loves football now. I liked to swim as a kid and did swimming/waterpolo in high school but you can't really put a foot print over water. LoL. One thing is for certain, our kid will be a fishy for sure. Dave loved swiming as a kid too and was apparently awlays tan! So I think 2 fishies are going to product a guppy for sure.
