Nurseries, and strollers, and play yards oh my!

Well with baby Blake's arrival approaching quickly we are nesting! I am now about 36.5 weeks along and feeling very large and very HOT. We (I) have been researching every baby purchase possible, I told the husband yesterday I can not possibly make one more decision about anything for at least a couple days. The nursery is complete I think although I could be missing something huge and not even know it. My husband who has always given me reign of all decorating decisions was adamant about the color scheme for Blake's room, he insisted on brown and blue and so I figured I could work with that. The furniture looks very similar to our bedroom furniture and I love it. My mom had the shelves just hanging out in her study and she felt that did not go with her decor and so we lucked out when she handed them over, they are so cool, the perfect espresso wood color and they are modular so they fit in all different configurations. My sister painted the canvases over the dresser to match the bedding, which is hard to see but is relatively modern elephants, numbers, and geometric patterns. My friend Laura painted the nursery including the stripes which really add to the room, I think. It is definitely a boy's room and although I am sure he won't be spending much time in there for a while, hopefully he will know we put a lot of thought and time into making the perfect space for him. It has become apparent the baby stuff takes up a lot of room, our downstairs closet has now become baby stuff central, and with all the deliveries of play yards, monitors, strollers, bouncers and my beautiful diaper bag, we needed a space to store it. My hopes are that we are able to cope with all the stuff hanging around the house as my husband and I are both some what of "unclutter" fanatics. Krayton especially does not like stuff laying around unless it is in a designated area, I have a feeling Blake will soon be breaking us of that habit rather quickly.
