Pregnant after a Loss

Opinions on Nursery Decor

So, PgAL brain has been flaring up a bit as I get closer and closer to my loss anniversary.  In an attempt to thwart PgAL brain, I have been trying to focus on the joy and happiness of my little guy by planning for his arrival.  I am currently in the process of trying to decide on nursery bedding and wanted to ask you lovely ladies for your opinion.  So, which set do you prefer?  I will post pics of the 2 front runners in the comments.  That way you can just "like it" to vote.  Thank you ladies for your input!

  • I voted for the peek a boo monster set. We almost went with that set this time so I am a little biased. :)

    I vote "Monster Buds" because of the ability to use the bright colors as solid crib sheets, also.  I checked out both on amazon and it looks like they have equal opportunities to buy things piece-meal instead of a big set.  I tried not to get distracted by the quilt, since that will probably just be thrown on a chair.  Quantities seem limited though!  
    @Qfrump - I also like the bright colors because I feel they will transition for a toddler room, too.

    The mobile for the peek a boo set freaks me out, too.  Not going to lie.  I like the 4 danglies on the other one compared to one big thing.  

    I laughed too hard at this. I see what you are saying. You don't really need a mobile, to be honest. They are usually super cute but we aren't using one this time (had one with DS1 and it was never used).

    @princezjk, Sure! I ended up, basically for lack of wanting to spend money on a set, having my mom sew us a set so she made all of our stuff. I really love the color scheme gray, teal and orange so those are the colors (we have black nursery furniture and gray walls). The teal fabric has little elephants on it. So it ended up being kind of elephant-themed but more of a color scheme. Let me see if I can find some pics...

    We never did mobile either, not to mention it seems silly to me that the monsters are "looking" at mom/dad/caregiver.  So baby only gets a crotch view of the monsters. 
    LOL, "crotch view"!

  • I voted Monster buds based on the colors. 

    I also think mobile's are unessaray, we had one for DD and it was barely used we won't have one, this time.

    I am not planning to get a set, but instead pieces from Etsy that go with my colour scheme. This way I have some flexibility :)
    @jalara48 - any thoughts on color schemes?

    I like the overall feel of the colors in the first one better. Those are such cute, cheerful little monsters! I think that gives you something good to work with for a toddler transition, too.


    I'm not planning on choosing a set. I'm trying to figure out how to explain my colors to people. My mom has already had friends ask about our colors so they can make us something, but I don't have a super defined color scheme. I want it to have lots of animals and plants. Kind of Cabinet of Natural Curiosities themed without being creepy with it (erm, no taxidermied animals on the walls or preserved in jars....). Not exactly a popular theme, and something with lots of colors. Just nothing really bright or too pastel.

    How do I explain this without sounding too weird and/or picky? If I say woodland colors, does that sound like a "thing" that people understand? The nursery will be relatively gender-neutral so that, if we want to, we can re-use it in the future. Honestly, I'm just grateful that people will give us stuff, and I don't want to sound like I don't want it if it's not just the right colors or something. Should I just pick two or three main colors so I have something to tell people?

    Sorry for hijacking this thread a bit! Any input appreciated, though.

    @MrsDeo‌ - Not hijacking at all! Your theme sounds awesome, but probably will confuse people too. If I hear woodland colors my first thoughts are brown and green. I agree you should think of 2 or 3 colors you'd like to have as a focus. You could always tell people you are open to accent colors, too.
