Ugh, everyone wants me to act "normal" and be happy and excited and thrilled about this baby, but when I mention anything baby related, I get shot down. I mentioned to my husband, and word has gotten around, that if I have to give up my craft room for a nursery, I'd at least like it to be a Beatrix Potter theme. I grew up on her books, and I have seen several nursery items featuring Peter Rabbit and her other characters. I even have a lamp that would be perfect.
I have now heard things from "Is that really a good nursery theme?" to "What if the baby doesn't like that bunny?" (That last gem being the mother-in-law's.) If it wasn't a good nursery theme, I wouldn't have seen blankets and bassinets and wall hangings and all this other stuff. There was a whole set at Goodwill once. And I really doubt the kid's going to walk out twirling its umbilical cord like a cane and saying "Hey Ma, make sure you paint my nursery black with red butterflies, 'kay?" (My other idea, but I've never even voiced that one to my husband.)
Sorry, just really needed to rant. God, I wish people would make up their minds!

Screw what the rest of the world thinks, and do what you want.

I don't even know if people will be going in there, honestly. I know with my sister, during the day if anyone came to visit, she was either up with my mom, or asleep on her mat on the floor. I don't recall anyone going in her room at any point other than my mom.
It's just got me feeling like I can't win for losing, really.
I might just have to do that!
Thanks to you ladies, I've also seen pieces that i haven't seen around here, many of which look better.
I know for sure she won't be taking me baby shopping. The only person I will allow to take me is my husband.
Edited because bump is being bitchy.
I LOVE the Beatrix Potter theme. Don't listen to the naysayers, that's classic, timeless, and so awesome.
