Chris and I went to Target last night and looked at baby stuff. I informed him we would be using "Classic Pooh" stuff for our baby. I have loved that stuff as long as I can remember, and when anyone I know has a child, I always buy him/her something with Pooh on it, so of course I'll be buying it for myself. :) He didn't really care or fight me on it, so I guess he doesn't really care that much. I don't know how much we'll really do for a nursery, though, 'cause its really for the adults, not the kid. And in the beginning I think the baby will sleep with us or in our room in a bassinet...So I'm not counting on really getting a nursery together until LATE pregnancy or even after the baby is born. What kind of nursery themes have you guys seen/had that you just loved?

Good Morning!
We had paint colors picked out. The previous owners had a Disney-themed (Jungle Book) nursery, and we kept that, but my artist husband decided that he wanted HIS art in there. So we picked out a raspberry pink for a girl (we hate pastels - it's pink, pink or pink, and God forbid I have a girly-girl) and a medium blue for a boy. Then we'll paint the guest bathroom the other color.
We never got to an actual theme, but I strongly suspect it will involve birds.
ps I don't look pregnant AT ALL. Want to trade? I mean, I have the old belly from my previous pregnancy, but other than that... I already have stretch marks from old weight gain/growth spurts but I plan on using olive oil once I start the stretching. So what if I smell like a salad? :-)-

I'm not a "themey" person. I guess if I were to do a theme, I'd want to do something bizarre like the Adaams family or an Edward Gorey book...so better not to freak out the baby. Our nursery is just done in light blue and greens with patterns. There are circles, diamonds, stripes and giraffes on the bedding and we painted diamonds on the walls, stripes on the dresser and the valances have circles on them. But you will find tons of cute stuff for a Pooh nursery. I like Eeyore because he's a gloomy gus like me.

Eve - I love the idea of BRIGHT colors instead of pastels! I will have to use that idea! :)
Roxanne - Ha! I could totally picture you doing an "Adaams Family" thing. Heehee. Your nursery sounds beautiful. :)(((hugs))) P.S. Eeyore is my fave too!
