Adalyn’s Blush Nursery

Posted on April 18, 2018January 22, 2021 by TheBraveLittleMama

Is there anything sweeter than picking out the details of your new baby’s nursery. Every detail we chose was so personal to me- what sheets would she lay her little head on? What glider would I nurse and rock her to sleep in? What artwork would grace the walls of her room? I always said that I didn’t want a pink nursery for a little girl, but with all the gorgeous florals that are in style right now, I couldn’t resist. Going towards blush instead of a typical pink is my last protest against pink! Like all good things, finding everything for her blush nursery took a lot more time and effort that I originally thought it would. The end result makes me so happy and her blush nursery is now my favorite room in our house!

I have always known that I wanted to be a mom. Some of my friends think that I am crazy, but 5-year-old me couldn’t wait for the day that I would get to be a mama. Don’t get me wrong, I had other dreams and ambitions as well and wanted to have my life in place before becoming a mom, but I always knew the end goal was to be a mom.

In April of 2015 we found out that I was pregnant with our first child, who turned out to be a little boy. He has been the center of our universe since he first made his appearance in December of that year. Being the mom of a boy has been so much fun. He was an easy-going boy, he loves to dance and he gets along well with other kids and adults. He is adventurous, playful and so loving towards us. I have loved being a mom to my little boy.

We we found out that I was pregnant again, I couldn’t deny that I really, really, REALLY, wanted this second child to be a little girl. I tried not to admit this out loud because if it ended up being a boy, I wouldn’t want that little boy to ever feel unwanted. I would have loved any baby that came our way. Monday we had our anatomy scan and immediately we could tell that baby #2 was a girl!!! Insert tears, cheering and me doing a mental happy dance.

Immediately I started thinking about all the adorable clothes and accessories that baby girls get that baby boys do not. Tutus, head bows, shoes with rhinestone or glitter!! I can’t wait to have fun with all of the fashion choices that are out there. On a more practical note, I am excited for the mommy/daughter relationship that I will get to build with her. Everyone always talks about how boys are yours until they get married, but that baby girls are yours forever. I have no idea if there is any truth to it, but I am so thankful that I get to opportunity to also be a girl mom.
