I think I'm nuts (nursery theme)

elviebird · October 2011

So, we had a Seuss themed nursery all planned out for awhile now. But then DH shows me this website and I LOVE it.

It would be just like us to have a microbiology/biology themed nursery, too. (DH is a microbiologist by schooling and I am a wildlife biologist. We're both giant nerds. In fact, we spent last night listening to a lecture about nutrient transfer in the Amazon).

Would it be really weird to decorate our nursery with plushie copepods and plasma cells?

I say go for it! I mean, yes, this definitely isn't the norm, but I think it's important to do what makes you happy.

Nothing wrong with being a nerd, imo

I LOVE IT! But that'd coming from a fellow nerd! I'm an epidemiologist and we have these little plushies all over the office, representing all the various outbreaks we've worked on!

Just be careful of the ones with the plastic eyes, as they could be choking hazards for little ones.

I think that is a GREAT idea. It's original, and it's very YOU GUYS, you know? Because the baby doesn't care how his/her room is decorated. It's totally for the parents, especially the mommy while she's nesting.

So I say if you love it, go for it! They sell mini microbes too... if you're very crafty I bet you could make yourself a mobile out of them.

A friend of mine, whos husband is a scientest has a bunch of those- they are so cute!!

I say go for it. It's unique and meaningful to you - what a great idea!!

Oh wow, I need to hide this from DH or I'll end up with a periodic table themed nursery! LOL

I wonder if this will turn our kid into a hypochondriac. Stick out tongue

Unique, but go for it if it what you both want.

nicole0066 · October 2011

It's cute! Definitely unique, but it would be something meaningful to you two so I say go for it!

JennyJensing · October 2011

I agree with PP's. It's not like they're creepy looking or anything. Go for it and PIP!!

This is an awsome idea! We have some of those and depending on which ones you got you could make a really cute mobile.

I think you'd have a very unique nursery. There's a good chance baby is going to grow up with a deep interest in your fields. I also think that it's great to think outside the box and have something special to your family.

I would definitely do this!

We're both Early Childhood Education majors and you better believe that's seen in our DS's bedroom. He loves it. He's also really huge into science and you can find that in his books and the posters on his walls.

We have no nursery plans just yet but I'm sure it will be reflective of our field in some way, shape, or form.

I think this is the most unique nursery idea I've seen... and I absolutely LOVE it!! How perfect to have a nursery theme that shares both of your interests with your LO!

I love it! But again, fellow nerd here, though an engineering/math one. Now I'm wondering if I could do a number-themed nursery..hmmm

I think it's fantastically different! Why not? One of my friends is doing a vintage sci-fi theme and someone else I know has squirrels as their theme.
