Sweet girly dreams...

As excited as I am to be having a girl, I'm surprised that I'm not going nuts wanting to decorate her nursery. When I was pregnant with Lukas, I poured over bedding set after bedding set and took WEEKS to narrow down the possibilities, emailed everyone with the possibilities asking for input, and after much angst, finally decided on a set. This time, I recently thought to myself, "Oh, I probably should start thinking about her bed and room." But this time I think we'll do things a lot differently. First of all, we hardly used the quilt that came with Luke's set since it was so big and bulky. Instead, we use one of 2 quilts that were made for him by my mom and a family friend. My mom's planning on making a quilt for this baby girl, so I think I'll just buy some pieces (sheets and such) and put together my own "set". If I'm lucky, I'll come across some great finds on craigslist or at a garage sale! Can't beat a good deal. :o) Oh, I know... what a downer. But I think it can be cheap and still cute.

I told my mom that I'd find some pictures of things I liked and we can start planning and putting it together. So, the internet browsing begins! I'm finding myself drawn to combinations of pale pink, lime green, yellow and orange. Here's what I've found so far...

This one I like, but I wish it had another color or two in it and I'm not too keen on the hot pink with polka dots. My favorite colors are pink and green, but it could get a little monotonous...

This one's not bad, but some of the colors are paler than I'd like (like the green and maybe the yellow...)

This one I think I like, but I wonder if, in person, it looks a little too much like some slightly ugly sheets from the 60's or 70's...

This one is my favorite, (just ignore the fluffy skirt). BUT, it's $160!! Sheesh!...
