Baby Nursery

If you're planning to have more than one child, it might be nice to stick to white or another soft pastel colored walls (someone mentioned taupe; grey would be nice, too), and choose the "soft" decor that can easily change to blue, too. It's easier to change blankets & hangings than furniture. If you're really sold on the photos, I like the third one down, first post (also the second one down on the left, first post).

Blondie93 makes a great point about baby clothing! As much as I coo over those "itty bitty" clothes, I always buy something in the 18-24 months size. One that goes over particularly well for girls is a denim jumper, with long- and short-sleeved tops. And always, a gift card for diapers!!

Ditto on that. When DH was born, he was a big baby and went straight into 6mo clothes - MIL had to return or exchange all the newborn clothes she got. Also, people don't always keep in mind that seasons change, and that a baby born in early summer isn't going to get a lot of mileage out of a newborn-sized winter snowsuit.

When my best friends have babies, I often knit baby blankets for them. Baby blankets don't have sizes. Blankets can be reused for subsequent babies, used in doll beds, incorporated into larger blankets, or handed down to the next generation.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm partial to sugar plum...I like lavender

Also my sister-in-law (to be ) uses the sugar plum design in her daughter's room and it's really cute. I like the butterfly details it works for little girls.
