Baby Bedding

So for now, the baby is going to be sharing a room with me and her father. So (his idea) was to order her leopard/cheetah bedding with pink accents. So to bring the theme of the room in, we ordered ourselves plain leopard bedding, and we are going to get some pink sheets, and a pink bed skirt, along with pink pillow cases for the back pillows. Also, her bedding comes with window valences, and were gonna get all the decorations that go with her crib set. What is every one else doing for their theme? (:
Is it tacky that were trying to make the room a theme? I didnt like the idea of her having a corner or an area of the room to herself, and having it look all scattered and I figured the best way to feel like were still decorating a nursery is to incorporate the whole room. This way when we move in August, she can take all the stuff for her room, and her nursery will be complete, and we can get other items for ours.
Is this a dumb idea?

    Not at all! My son shares a room with me and my husband for now and we did kinda the same thing only no pink. Lol his is the jungle theme and we got our bedding to match the colors of his. Then the rest if the room is done in his theme. We are now having another girl and they will be sharing a room. My oldest will be going away to school so we are taking over her room. After great deliberation we have decided it will be the jungle theme as well. My very awesome and creative mother is going to make the bedding set to match my sons but with a more girly spin on it. I'm just going to miss having my son in my room. :(

    Momma2joe Yay Im glad I am not the only one! & I know what you mean, she isnt even born yet and I already can picture myself missing her. Lol. My boyfriend thinks were going to be fighting over her all the time, and she is already spoiled as can be. I cant picture myself ever leaving her or putting her down, but I know I will have to. Lol. Im sorry that youre feeling sad already ): Im sad for you. But atleast he has a little sister to share a room with, and you and your husband will get your room back. (: The jungle theme sounds super cute! We originally thought we were having a boy, so we bought a jungle crib set and even set the crib up, then found out she was a girl, so we ordered pink flowers and butterfly bedding, but then he had the wild idea of the leopard, so now that is what we are sticking with. Plus, this way he feels included (:

    Lol we were Co sleeping until he was 15 months old. He's only really been in his bed for 4 months. My husband keeps trying to convince me not to breast feed this time because he wants to feed her. I know he was jealous of the bond that I had with my son. Plus I never went anywhere without him incase he got hungry. He is afraid the same thing will happen again. I am having them share the room because I was afraid my son would feel replaced if I put her in my room and him in his own room. I had thought about having them both in my room but that is just silly when my oldest will be away at college and not in the room. Now she feels replaced! I just can't make anyone happy! It was her choice to go away to school though. I would rather her stay here and just drive to school but she insisted.

    Btw I know I'm all over the place with my thoughts but in my defense I have been up since 3 and its 530 now!!

    Momma2joe haha! Thats funny because my mind must be right where yours is because i am following you completely. I plan to breast feed this baby. But since she is my first, I want to also pump so my boyfriend feels included, but my brothers wife didnt ever introduce my neice to a bottle soon enough, so she wont drink them at all. & My mom keeps telling me to introduce her to breast, and bottle right away. But in birthing class they tell you to wait 4 weeks or there could be nipple confusion. So I really dont know what to do at this point. ):

    How did co sleeping work? I kind of want to try that. I have heard lots of success stories with it, but I have also heard it doesnt work for some.

    Im sorry that your family is playing tug o war lol. Thats the hard part about families, can never please every one at once. Lol.

    My son had the bottle and breast at the hospital because he had jaundice and the quickest way to get rid of it is for them to eat. The lactation specialist at the hospital was against bottles or pacifiers but I just wanted to take my son home since I refused to leave without him. But after we got home he refused to take the bottle or the pacifier. I think everybaby is different. My other two girls were both breast fed and had a bottle if I wasn't around. No problems my son just knows what is best. Lol Co sleeping is great. There are alot of studies that support it. I think it also helps the father bonding. I am not sure how its going to work this time around. I want to co sleep with her too but not sure how im going to feel not having my son in the room all alone. Its much easier on everyone while breastfeeding too. Breast fed babies eat more often than bottle babies. Good luck

    Thanks! Its good to hear the positive stories! It makes me more hopeful (: If I dont end up co sleeping, then her bassinet or pack n play will be on either side of our bed, and I will pump before bed so if she wakes up in the middle of the night and my bf wants to feed her, he has an option. (:
