window shopping.

So I've been doing some online window shopping. Looking at furniture. And bedding. I know, I know, cart way before horse Ashley. But I promise I am just looking and daydreaming, not actually buying anything yet.

Here are some of my favorites so far.

Bedding for a boy:


Bedding for a girl. Same pattern obviously. What can I say, I just really like geometric, modern designs:


As for furniture, there are a few cribs that I've found that I like.

Option #1:


Option #2:


Option #3:



I have to admit, it's been fun browsing online at this stuff. I guess this means I've been getting more comfortable in my pregnancy and am actually starting to believe that this will be real. I can remember looking online at baby stuff when we first started TTC. After a while, it just got to be too painful, so I avoided it completely. It still almost feels taboo to me. Like I shouldn't be doing it. Like I could be jinxing something. Ahh, the joys of IF.

I think I've also decided that I just want to paint the future nursery a neutral color. Probably like the mocha brown color our bonus room currently is. Or some similar shade. Although who knows, I will probably change my mind a zillion times.

  2. I like option 1 the best. I know how you feel about avoiding looking at baby stuff-i can remember the feeling and it was many moons ago. I kept my daughter's birth certificate with me for several years after her adoption-I was afraid someone would try to say she was not mine. Painful-yes, paranoid-yes--but gradually your feelings will change. ss

  3. We have al JCPenney's furniture too. You know, yesterday I thought that I should remember to tell you the next time we see each other--that I am happy that you are looking at baby stuff. I just think it means you've won the positive thinking battle. I don't think positive thoughts end in positive outcomes at all. But it sure does make for a better life.

    I bought stuff early. Probably around where you are i started buying little stuff. Because, for *me* i just felt like i knew i'd be devastated whether i had a diaper bag or not, KWIM? We bought furniture at 6 or 7 months. I bought a new car at four months-a mom car.

    I am just happy that you are as hopeful as i am that you this baby is meant, and you are meant to be it's mother.
