I've been meaning to post about the nursery for awhile, it was actually the one thing that was completely ready before Madden arrived!
In deciding what to do for his room, I knew I wanted a nursery that wasn't baby-ish and could grow with him. I also didn't want any theme since I figure as soon as he gets older he'll want sports or jungle or some cartoon theme bedding. Now is my time to have his room anything I want and I wanted more of a color combo theme than anything else.
Since starting our journey to conceive I've looked at baby bedding, there's not a lot out there that appealed to me for either gender. However after looking at lots of bedding I find the boy bedding I loved early on, by time we finally got pregnant and hit the 20 week mark to find out the gender it was on clearance and being discontinued. I was lucky enough to at least get the bumper, sheets and blanket just in time before it was all gone. So I was able to do the nursery in the color combo I wanted, navy blue and lime green.
Paper Lanterns - www.paperlanternstore.com, they were very inexpensive, fast shipping and the colors are pretty ideal to what it on the website.

It's my favorite room in the house now. I love being able to sit in the chair either to read, rock to sleep or nurse my lillte man. I find the room and colors to be comforting and relaxing.
