I hope he is still a BOY!

I sure hope we do not get any surprises when we have our next ultrasound. I have heard of this happening to people and it did not concern me until after we ordered our bedding today. We returned to the same little "hot spot" where we got Emma's bedding today and met with a designer to get Gavin's room started. After a couple of hours, looking at thousands of fabrics & tossing around ideas, we finally found something that we are very excited about. We picked out 4 beautiful fabrics and the type of bedding we liked and then looked at accessories. All of the bedding is being made, so I don't look for us to have that for about 8-10 weeks. We are totally okay with that, because we would like to keep the "itty bitty" in her baby bed until February 1st. It feels good to have colors & a theme picked out, now we can get started on crown molding and paint.

We purchased the following 4 pictures today that are so cute and they are hanging by different shades of really pretty ribbon.

We also purchased this rug for his bedroom which looks great with all of the fabrics we chose.

I had to have this little nursing pillow that looked so cute with all of the other stuff we picked out.

Of course, every little boy needs a soft blanket...so we got this one trimmed in ivory, the blues did not match all the way.

So, our nursery colors will be desert sand, burnt orange, heritage brick, forest moss and jamaican sea. The bedding will have stripes, giraffe print, solid, linen fabric and the bumper will be the boxed style with cording. I can not wait to see it. We were really pleased with Emma's, so I am hoping we will be as satisfied with Gavin's. Oh, we also had his initials monogrammed on the inside bumper and there will be big buttons on the outside.

We actually bought some paint today and a large canvas that we are going to let the "big sister" finger paint. Yes, I mean take all her clothes off, give her the paint and let her do it all by herself. That will make for some great pictures and blogging material. After she is finished, we will take it to a lady and have her put Gavin's name on it in very large dark brown letters for one of the walls.

We plan to use the same rocker and ottoman we used in Emma's nursery that is brown and corded in green. All that we are lacking now is a lamp, picture frames and some little decorative stuff. I ordered extra fabric to have the curtain and diaper genie cover made. Let me not forget the 5 foot giraffe I found and fell in love with today. He was a little pricey, so we are going to search for him somewhere that is a little less expensive. I think he will be so sweet at the foot of the crib with his long neck looking down at Baby Gavin.

The fun has begun...I can not wait to see the final product and share it with all of you.
