New nursery bedding

I can remember going to see my cousin last summer before she had her baby girl, and gently teasing her for having a PINK nursery that was incredibly girly. She laughed and said, "ya know, I never thought I would have gone so girly, and it did not start out that way. But once we knew it was a girl, things kept getting pinker and pinker..."

I think Jesse and I are in the same boat. We started out incredibly gender neutral, in case our little girl popped out a little boy. But after the last ultrasound, there is no question that it is a girl, and now things are beginning to get more girly...starting with the nursery.

We changed from the Patchwork Pooh bedding to this design, called Blossoms. In the original package, it comes with a decorative fitted sheet, but I don't like the sheet. So, I went to Target and got a plain green sheet, and now it fits our taste much better.

There are multiple shades of pink in the new bedding, from a light, pastel pink to a cranberry pink, but mixed in with the greens and whites, it is not too overwhelming. Once we get everything hung up (the valance and the blanket), it will all be spread over 3 walls, which should even it out some against the green walls.

We are officially going girly! Who would have thought?
