So, the other thing I have been shopping for - at stores and on the internet is stuff for your baby room. Assuming that we have a Xander Robert and a Maggie Jo, it is definitely hard to find baby room apparel that is fun, yet gender specific. Tonight, I decided to take a look at Walmart and I found a few cute ones there. Then, I went to a baby specific store and holy moly did I find some cute ones there. I sent them all to your dad to take a look. I put some not-so-subtle messaging on my favorite set. I sent him several choices that appealed to me but only 1 set that I LOVE. We will see what he says when he looks at them.
So, because we are so picky and cannot agree, you will end up with the walls as they are today - blue, yellow, green and purple - and some blue sheets and yellow sheets :) But, let's imagine for a moment that mom wins this and she designs what would be the perfect baby room. Let's also imagine that money would not be an option. Here is what your room would look like assuming you are a Xander and Maggie. The walls will be a light brown or a creamy brown or possibly two-tone if we do some sort of moulding divider. We would paint the doors a 3rd shade of brown. (We had already decided to give you a magnetic chalk board wall but that could truly throw off my motif so we are going to ignore that for now.) On Xander's side of the room, the bedding would be blue and brown swirled with lots of blue and brown accents. On Maggie's side of the room, the bedding would be pink and brown swirled with lots of pink and brown accents. The wall art would match the swirls. OK squirts, mom is not the greatest at making all this brown and blue and pink sound very appealing. Here are the photos from the baby store and unfortunately, another life lesson for you: Decorating rarely turns out as well as the pictures you see but we are pretending here, right? :) We may have to con Aunt Kim and Aunt Valerie into taking care of all of the details of pulling this together.
Can you hardly stand how darn cute that would be? It would be modern and not necessarily traditional baby designs but holy smokes, you would so be the envy of all of our friends. (Keeping it real, that isn't going to be hard when none of them have nurseries to compare to)
There are some pitfalls on these choices. 1) They are not available at any of the places that we were planning on registering. 2) They are very expensive. Of course, your mom had to find the "designer" bedding to be the one she was drooling over. 3) How would it truly look all put together in one room? I am not sure but darn it, I think we should try to make it work. :) We will wait and get dad's opinion and we will wait until the 25th when we will hopefully get the final answer on what kind of squirts we are getting. :)
