T-Themes

So I have tried to avoid the whole "theme" thing when planning stuff for the baby.  But I am such a thematic person.  I think it has to do with the fact that I'm a teacher.  I guess I will just have to deal with the fact that everything I "design" will have some sort of a theme.  So here are the themes I have started or  planning...

Today we began our registry. To use a teacher term, what we have now is a very rough draft.  We have some of the basics, but left a bunch of stuff off.  However, I did pick out the pack 'n play and car seat/stroller system.  And they happen to have the same theme.

Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Newborn Napper Elite - Elefanta

Graco Stylus LX Travel System Stroller - Elefanta

I knew I wanted this specific style of car seat because it was the top rated in my baby bargains book.  And when we saw this pack 'n play I knew I had to get it since I do not want to buy a changing table and I was struggling with whether or not to get a bassinet or co-sleeper and this solves all problems.  

When it comes to the crib bedding I am having a really hard time finding exactly what I want.  I do know I want primary colors-mostly red and blue.  But I don't want a boat or sports theme.  Nearly all primary color bedding sets have those two themes.  I would just like to find an argyle or plaid that I like with primary colors, but those are hard to come by apparently.  So I have come to terms with an ABC bedding theme.  But all the ABC themed primary color bedding sets also have animals all over them.  So who knows what I will get!  

I have already started collecting some "old school" toys to decorate the room with.  I know I do what a very "antiquey"feel in baby boy's room.   

And the last theme surrounding the pregnancy (for now) is my baby shower theme.  I have found some pretty cool ABC baby shower themes on pinterest.  Being a teacher, how could I resist??

I'll keep you updated when we find bedding and other things for baby.
