I know you don't see where I get the connection. I'm so weird sometimes. Does it make any sense?
SO cute! :)
I totally see it! :) It is kindof a country feel. That's partly my intention. Because it is such a BRIGHT, cartoonish theme, I really want to "tame" it down with softer paint, and more old fashioned accessories. But, I also found a clock that is really funky and trippy, sorta like Dr. Seuss' work! It's too expensive, but if I can find one like it, I'll get itQuote:

I will start purchasing some as soon as I have a place to put them.
After we decide on a crib, we'll get little bookcase and toy trunk that will match.
Other books I'd like to get are little golden books and disney. Those were all my favorite as a child. I would still have mine but I gave them away to a little girl I used to tutor English to in Italy. :)
I had the nursery painted last week but no theme.
It's bone color paint with white trim.
My husband and I prefer wall handings and decals so if we get tired of looking at them, we can take them down and put different ones up. Depending on the kind of bedding I get, the room will have matching decals and wall hangings. I registered for several bedding sets. I like too many kinds.
I wish I could find a girly bedding set with puppies/dogs on it.
What I've seen is for boys only.
As for 3D and 4D ultrasound, I have looked around and the cheapest place that does it is my own OB for 125 dollars. We might splurge and get it done. I believe it's done between 28 and 32 weeks.
I like wall hangings and decals, too...we'll be painting the walls with those stripes, but, the colors are pretty tame so we can really change the look of the room with decorations if and when we want. It's not too babyish. I can't wait to see what you decide on as a theme!Quote:

Thanks, Kari. I knew you could figure out my weirdness.:)
Not only that, but check out post #1. My mother has a toybox that she's going to give us for the nursery and has that beadboard look you were talking about! HOW COOL IS THAT? :DQuote:

We ordered our nursery furniture tonight! We hope to get it within the next couple weeks. WHEEE, I'm so excited! We taped off the spaces for each piece on the carpet in the room, and give or take a few inches here and there, we should be good to go. Here are the photos...we decided on white. We decided against a changing table, because we are limited on space. We should be able to use the top of the dresser, though.

The paint turned out great! We just have to do a little touching up on some of the stripes and we will be set! The colors are awesome, I love the way it turned out! And, I think we are going to order a set of red and white gingham drapes for the window. :) It's coming together, now!
Everything looks nice, it must be such a fun time for you! And of course your baby will have plenty of Pet Talk aunties and uncles as well as a Grandma!
It is a fun time! I'm still loving it, even though I'm often hot! My mother is buying the furniture for us. She won't let us get it ourselves, although David got it for just over $700 for all of it!Quote:

WHEE!!!! We put our crib and glider together tonight. We'll do the dresser tomorrow. I love how it turned out. That little toy box under the window is only temporary. My mother will bring hers when little one is born and my parents head out this way. :) They'll also bring the bookcase, so the nursery won't be complete until after baby comes.
Here are a few photos! :)

The bookcase will go between the glider and the door. :)

This is a little ornament my mom sent me awhile back. :)

The blanket was David's when he was an infant. His grandmother made it out of old sweaters. It's too big for the crib, but I'll use it to cover myself when it's chilly. Baby would get lost in it right now, but it'll make for a good photo shoot, I think. :)

One of the many Dr. Seuss toys we have now. :)

The incredible blanket my aunt made for us. I love the scalloped edges!

The pillow shams, I will be getting pillows to fill them soon! :)
