Is it a Girl or is it a Boy?

We've gotten lots of questions lately about baby. Most have been whether it's a boy or a girl. We still don't know yet, but we're supposed to find out in just a few weeks (as long as baby cooperates, of course).

Meanwhile, we haven't done much more to prepare for baby. We've cleaned a little more, and our living room is finally relatively normal, but that's about it. We have lots of projects we'll need to get to before baby comes, but fortunately, we still have a ways to go.

The other night, though, we did do one thing that was super fun... You see, I haven't started any sort of baby registry yet, but I have started researching various baby products and picking out colors and such. Brandon and I wanted to keep the bedroom a neutral color scheme, so I found a bedding set I loved online at Babies R Us. We stopped by the store after work the other night because I really wanted to see it in person and show it to Brandon.

We found the bedding set, and the good news was I absolutely LOVED it (and so did Brandon). Bad news was it was on clearance (ugh!) and there were only two sets left in the store and one was damaged. Better news? Because it was on clearance, it was marked half off. After thinking about it for a while (we lounged around in some gliders to discuss our options), Brandon convinced me we should just pick it up. It was such a great deal, and he could tell how much I loved it, so he didn't want to wait and risk us not getting it later on.

As such, we now have a theme and color scheme for the nursery!
It's just precious! It's green, yellow and white mostly, with chocolate brown trim. It features these cute little monkeys, elephant and toucan, as well as some giraffes, a lion, tiger, rhinocerous and crocodile! I just love it, and I'm glad we splurged!

I'm going to buy some fabric in a complimentary green color so I can (someday) make some curtain's for baby's room. And that's about as far as I've gotten so far, but hey, it's a start!
