I FINALLY ordered (and decided on) Liam's crib sheets!!
We ended up going with the Navy Kasey from Pottery Barn Kids with the navy chambray sheets, the airplane sheets & the train junction sheets (the last two were on clearance!) - and I LOVE it!
We didnt want to tie ourselves into a theme or a distinct color, we wanted to be able to decorate and change things around with things we can add in his room as he grows and changes so we just went with a nice array of blues and khakis that we can obviously add our own little touches - like the trains and the airplanes but not trains and airplanes ALL the time. I wish they had some sailboat sheets that matched also...
And I normally dont talk about prices or amounts but we got all of his bedding for $110 simply because I used a wedding gift card we got from Pottery Barn (I could NEVER find anything for that amount since everything is so costly there...) and Liam's Baptism gift from Matias' family. I'm really happy that we didnt have to pay an arm & a leg for this stuff cause although it's all cute and adorable I just cant stand paying a ton of money for it all - this way it worked out really well! Now, if shipping & handling wasnt over $20 that price would have been a lot lower!
We should be getting it all early next week & I just cannot wait to get his room all set up - I just think it's going to look so adorable against all the white furniture & new fresh walls! Our next big thing will be introducing him to sleeping in his crib & I am not looking forward to that. He's on the verge of being way too long for his cradle but I'm the one not ready to have him in another room, just yet. I'm sure it will be nice to have our bedroom back to ourselves but I do like having him in there...sigh...
We still have to get some window treatments - I've picked out a few but Matias hasnt chimed in yet on which ones he 'approves' of so we havent bought them yet. And I know which light I want from IKEA so I just have to run over there and get it (not paying shipping!) and it's a great price too!
There's still a short list of things I want for the room though:
white & blue frames for his pictures
white shelves for his "stuff" (I think I can get these at Michaels or ACMoore and just paint them myself for cheaper than buying actual white shelves...)
a mobile (I think we can hold off on that since we have a thing that attaches to the inside of his crib but we'll see once we get him in there)
a night light (right now we leave a lamp on in there all the time since he doesnt sleep in there it's ok for night time changes but that will stop once he's sleeping in there!)
And then 3 months AFTER he was born, his nursery will be ready :) It was funny, the dude on the phone at PBK asked when I was due...I said "3 months ago" and he laughed but then I explained how we didnt know "what" we were having so we wanted to wait and see and discover what kind of little boy OR girl he OR she was before deciding on their room decor.
