Prior to getting pregnant, we used the nursery as a spare bedroom and a place for our cats to escape from the dog. The room was cream in color and pretty boring. Once we found out we were pregnant, we weren’t sure what we wanted to paint in the room, so Vicky found a very very pale ice blue color for the nursery walls. It’s a soothing color, and it was the only color Vicky really liked.
We didn’t want a “cookie cutter” nursery that everyone else had, so Matt came up with the idea to use stencils and create our own wall border instead of using a pre-made border. (We also didn’t want the room overly pink and girly). Vicky went to Michael’s and picked up stencils and different color acrylic paint and spent hours painting the nursery with butterflies, dragonflies, and bumble bees. It took Vicky a little longer because she was about 7 months pregnant when she began the project. We think the results were worth the time and effort.
Madeline still isn’t sleeping in her crib yet (today is the first day she’s taken a nap in her crib for longer than 10 minutes without crying), but she still spends plenty of time in the nursery. Since she still has reflux, she doesn’t want to sleep flat very often so she still sleeps in her swing. Here and there she’s beginning to sleep flat, so we’re taking that as a good sign that the medication is really helping her out.
