Hello.

I started buying baby clothes and wraps etc (everything is white) about a year ago, when I was TTC, but I haven't bought any furniture yet.

Next week I have my 19 week scan, and I want to know what we are having so we (I) can start to plan the decorating theme for the nursery.

Like almost everyone, the nursery has been a junk room/ office/ sewing room until recently, and we have had to through out so much stuff! We both also pruned our book collections (his science/ fantasy, mine crime novels and literature) so we could make some room for the baby. We have a spare room set up with a queen bed and that's full of my stuff for sewing, so now I have no-where to actually sew....I make such as mess when I'm sewing!

Anyway, I have wanted to the Boori Sleigh for about 12 months, and my husband has been resisting it- he doesn't like the solid ends. If it's a girl, I'm going to insist, but if it's a boy I might be happy with the classic. I'll get the matching change table but will try to get on ebay. The nursery has a BIR and also a jarrah-stained cabinet that I can hang baby clothes in the top and drawers below. Also, I might get the Matilda cradle, as baby's room is upstairs, and ourr is downstairs, and I don't want to have to traipse up and down stairs 6 times a night!

I'm keen to go with a mostly white a splashes of red theme- something suitable for a modern house. I definitely don't want any Pooh or other licensed characters, but imagine I will get some as presents so will do my best to be gracious. Sorry, but I just don't like the Pooh!

Am building a list of what I want so I can bargain best price and buy it all at once and get it delivered. i don't like to pay full price for anything!
