Too many choices...

Life has become a whirl wind of work, photography, and baby. If it doesn't fall under those three categories then I have either forgotten or haven't thought about it. Thomas is getting a little frustrated with my forgetfulness but I just say "hey, blame it on the pregnancy brain." But with that pregnancy brain comes stress from getting ready for the baby. I never realized how many choices there are in this world when it comes to cribs, strollers, bedding, bottles, and on and on! Thank goodness for all the help registering... I would have never made it out of the stores alive.

I am currently stuck on the crib/bedroom decor decision. My mom and Thomas's mom offered to make the bedding (because in all those bedding choices I couldn't find anything, sad I know) so I have been hitting the fabric stores from Memphis to Montgomery and even Eclectic Alabama. And of course I am still suck on the first fabric I saw. Typical I know, just like a wedding dress when most brides buy the first one they tried on after the other 100 they try on after that. The only dilemma with my fabrics is the choice of crib. Thomas and I finally narrowed it down to one crib (after a month of debating) but it comes in several colors. I was looking for something a little more fun and funky so I picked out the "sea mist" crib and Thomas picked the traditional brown. But the problem occurs when the fabric that matches my choice is more blue and purple and limits room color and accessories. The fabric swatch that matches Thomas's is more my speed in bright yellows, pinks, and lime greens. (Did I mention this is not the typical pastel baby room??)
Side Note: That was my plan, baby pink and grey. Well until I walked into a yellow nursery at a friends house and decided I want a bright nursery too!

Anyway, below is the crib and fabric swatches. What do you think? Green and funky or bright and cheery??
