    Personally, I love them both! I couldn't even decide which I like better, both are absolutely perfect and adorable and original. The first one, however, is very girly and you may very well be having yourself a little boy but the second one is perfect and unisex.

    So when do you find out? Have you thought about 3D ultrasound? They've got a ton of places in Dallas for that, but it's a little expensive.

    Do you really think the lettering is girly? That's all we're using from that first photo, and the letters will be red, regardless of gender. We're not interested in the paint from the first photo, just the phrase. But, we'll be painting using the pattern from the second photo. Make more sense? hahah, or maybe I'm the confuzzled one.

    We're due for our second sonogram on the 19th. I was under the impression that our last appointment was going to be looking at the baby again, but it was just a check up, question-answer session and listening to baby's heartbeat (which was strong, strong, strong!). We should find out at the next appointment, which will put me in my 18th week.

    As for the 3D sonogram (or even 4D), if someone paid for it, I'd do it. They personally gross me out a little bit, and I'm not really pining to have one. I like the 2D ones just fine, although I wouldn't pass up a 3 or 4D one if it was offered for cheap or free.

    Yes I meant the flowers on the wall, not the saying. As far as the saying, I think I like the first one better, but they're both just absolutely darling. I love them both so very much. I do like your taste in the outfits/nursery themes, etc. You've got good taste, girl

    Yeah I never wanted to spend the money for 3D ultrasound. If insurance doesn't pay for it, we just couldn't justify paying for that when there were so many more important things that we needed. Becides, I'm extremely intuitive and I knew, knew, knew Quinn was a girl before I even saw her little girly parts, I was almost as certain this one was a boy before I saw his mini boy parts. I guess I found the 3D a waste of money.

    Cool, I was hoping that you were referring to the flowers. I wouldn't use them even if I was having a girl, they just don't do it for me. I think they're cute as heck, though! The "Oh the places..." is my favorite quote for the nursery, for sure...the other one I'd like to use in a smaller format (maybe on a trunk we'll put under the window) is the "A person's a person, no matter how small." I'll be sure to post photos as we create the nursery. We won't be using white furniture, either, although the white looks gorgeous!

    Thanks for the compliments!

    I have no idea what we're having. But, I'm excited, either way. And, yeah, if the 3D sonograms I've seen hadn't been squishy and weird looking, I'd pay the money to do it. But, they really do sort of freak me out. David feels the same way.

    I like the decal. (I've looked at this, but just realized I'd never posted anything.) Also, if the gingham bed skirt doesn't come with the Pottery Barn set, but you like the look, check out Wal-Mart's website. Katherine's whole crib bedding set is gingham. Hers is green and white, but they do have red & white, and they do sell the pieces separately. The price is great, too.

    Awesome, I will check that out for sure! Thanks for the suggestion! The crib has a drawer underneath it so it might be nice to "hide" that!

    I love the simplicity of the bottom photo. The colors are so cool. The wall reminds me of beadboard.

    Kari, this is so much fun watching you have a blast with this. Thanks. I can pretend it's my grandchild.(if it's ok with you).


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!
