So overwhelmed trying to pick out bedding!

I really admire you girls who have already done this... I have no idea what my "theme" is going to be for the nursery or if I'll even have one.

Just start looking through websites and save pictures of the ones that are "maybes". Soon, you will see some sort of pattern that you like. Good luck! It was a long hunt for DH and me, but we found the most perfect bedding finally!

i feel your pain. DH is my biggest hurdle. the original boy bedding that i want, he hated.. and now he feels he needs to critque every decision i make about the nursery. this has caused me to feel extremely overwhelmed about decorating. :-/

it was hard for us at first too but then we narrowed down what we wanted. we're having a girl but i didnt want anything TOO frilly or only pink so i started there. then we searched blogs and websites and finally found something we could both agree on : banana fish lovebird. we are still waiting to get it in the mail so hopefully we still like it in persoN! but goodluck in your search!

Ugh, seriously... I feel so indecisive! I don't know if I want it to be "girly" or more neutral. I guess it's time to make a trip to BRU and start looking in person at things.

Here is my advice: Do not buy a bedding set. It is such a waste of money.

We aren't using the bumper that came with ours (bc of SIDS) or the mobile because it doesn't fit our crib. Basically we are using the flat sheet and bed skirt.

It will save you money if you buy the things separately.

Of course, this is your baby so do what you want. I just wanted to let you know my experience.

This... With DS we decided to just pick a quilt/blanket that we liked and got matching gerber sheets. The Gerber knit sheets at BRU are so soft we love them! Plus, by doing this I was able to get the beautiful quilt I wanted from Land of Nod because I was saving money on the other stuff.

I could not find bedding that I liked so my mom and I are going to make all the bedding. I fell in love with the most beautiful fabric and I can't wait to get started on it this week. Good luck with your search!
