1) My nursery theme is going to be based on the following pic on my blog. I'm just going to build around it, but I really like the neutral colors (actually the only one I've found). Not too boyish and not too girlish. www.onelittletwolittlethree.blogspot.com

2) Girl - Madison Grace (Madi)
Boy- Jaxon James Henry (Jax)

3) For the Boy name, the two middle names is my grandfather and my husbands grandfather that we are both close too. That is the ONLY reason I would give my child two middle names...lol

4) Def. buy a hippopotumus snuggler. They are fabulous those first couple of months. My hospital actually sent one home with us, but I like the ones at BRU better.

5) Diaper genie is a complete waste of $$$. JIMO )

6) Boy

7) Boy

This is my last. I feel so blessed!!!!

JColburn09 responded:
1) I am doing a Winnie the Pooh theme. Mainly cause it can go either boy or girl.

2) Girl - Anna Lynn
Boy - Duane Allen Jr.
Aiden Allen

3) If we have a girl I am naming her after my grandmother. I was very close to her. If we have a boy he will be named after DH.

4) Snugglie is one thing every new mother needs, for the first few months anyway.

5) I will never buy those leash things that you attach one end to your toddler and one end to you. My child is not a pet.

6) Boy

7) Boy

This will be our last child. Between my fiance and I we will have five children.

KLN777 responded:
1) for a boy: sailboats and whales
for a girl: the nursery set I like is like fuchsia jungle-ish

2) boy: James Andrew (the 5th)
girl: Anna Elizabeth

3) boy would be named after DH, his dad, his grandpa, oh, and
his great grandpa... yeah

girl is my great grandmother's first name and my
grandmother's middle name

4) awesome diaper bag that just looks like a super cute purse

5) I agree with pp about the leashes. Similarly, I am so anti slings, and strap on baby carriers. I have no desire to wear my child.

6) boy, just a feeling, can't wait to find out!

7) boy

This will probably be our only child. DH is in the navy and since he is gone so much and I plan to go back to work at least part time, I want to make sure my child doesn't feel like (s)he doesn't have parents.

mommyof3kiddos responded:
1) What will be your nursery theme? I have the cribs picked out. Just waiting to find out the gender. I will pick out bedding once I know what I'm having. I am only going to buy a crib sheet (two or three) and a bumper. Not interested in the rest of stuff with traditional bedding sets.

2) Have you thought of any names and if so list them (if you want)? I have but we haven't made a decision yet....I like Joshua, Violet, Alison, and Sarah. Once we know the gender then we can start really working on it.

3) Are you naming your child after someone? If so, who? No. My ILs are insistent we name a boy after DH. He is a JR already. HECK NO! None of the kids are named after anyone. My ILs might think so but their not.

4) What baby item do you just have to have? I want a Graco Quattro Tour Double Stroller.

5) What baby item would you suggest not to buy OR for you first time mommies what have you heard not to buy? I think fancy diaper pails are a waste. Along with the fancy expensive bedding. Unless you hang up the pretty comforter that comes with the bedding set you don't get a lot of use out of it.

6) What do you think you are having? I think it's a boy.

7) What does DH think you are having? He thinks it's a girl.

Last child? Yes. This is our fourth baby in five years. DS is 4, DD just turned 3, and DD2 is almost 18mos. I am DONE! I expect DH to be "fixed". I am not going for outpatient surgery when he can make an afternoon doctor's office visit.

TJT1980 responded:
1) Since we aren't finding out the sex we are doing a green and brown theme on the walls nothing with charactors or cartoons. Then just buying sheets to match and having my MIL make a bumper to match the theme of the walls.

2) Boy: Jackson Tuffy
Girl: Olivia (don't have a middle yet)

3) If it's a boy the middle name will be the nickname of good friend of my DH, who was killed my a drunk driver.

4) First time mom here so not sure what I just have to get.

5) A friend of mine told me not to get a boppy.

6) I think it's a boy

7) DH keeps having dreams that it's a girl

This is my firs,t I hope to have 2, one of each sex. If I have 2 of 1 sex then we will go for a third. That's our plan at least.

AFP07 responded:
1) What will be your nursery theme?
Girl: I have NO idea...Boy: UNC! (TRUE BLUE fans...even though they suck this season...)

2) Have you thought of any names and if so list them (if you want)?
Girl: Hannah Grace
Boy: Alexander Penn

3) Are you naming your child after someone? If so, who?
Hannah comes from 1 Samuel-She prayed and prayed for God to give her a child and He did!
Alexander was my great-grandfather's name. Penn is my DH's dad and grandfather's middle name.

4) What baby item do you just have to have?
Nothing really...I wasn't attached to anything with DD that I HAD to have it...

5) What baby item would you suggest not to buy OR for you first time mommies what have you heard not to buy?
Despite previous comments...I SWORE I would NEVER buy a leash...but when we went to Disney World back in November and DD had just hit the "Miss Independent" stage HARDER, we got her a monkey backpack, whose tail served as a leash...She LOVED it and it was nice not to have to lug the stroller around since we knew she wasn't going to sit in it. She loved having the independence...
Wipes warmer was a WASTE of money...TOTALLY dried out all my wipes!

6) What do you think you are having?
BOY!

7) What does DH think you are having?
He's not sure, but he's good with whatever...Secretly, he REALLY wants another DD...LOL!

Is this your last child and if not, how many are you going to have?
We haven't decided if this is it for us. We've talked about having 3, but we haven't COMMITTED to having 3. We're leaving the door open until I'm around 35 (he'll be 45 by then...). If this is a boy, we're most likely done, though. HE has already committed to getting "fixed" when the final decision is made, though. He says I've taken enough for the team (carrying the baby and having c-sections) -- isn't he SWEET?!?!?!

UGAmomof2 replied to AFP07's response:
I have to admit to the leash also..lol. I SWORE I would never use one and then DD came along and she is WILD. I've never had a child that could disapear in a second and the first time it happened I went a bought the doggy back pack right away. Reese loves it and actually wants to put it on, esp. since she has found out that she doesn't have to stay in the stroller...lol.

UGAmomof2 replied to mommyof3kiddos's response:
OMG Christine, I totally feel the same way about DH having the big V...lol. I just don't understand the big deal. He has decided to do it only because I refuse to get a tubal and he's done having kiddos after this one.

JeanellCox responded:

1) What will be your nursery theme? "Nursery" will be in our room, so mainly just bold colors, are walls are green with white chair rails, and crown molding.

2) Have you thought of any names and if so list them (if you want)? Not set on anything for sure except middle names, well sort of.
Charles or Ross for a boy's middle name
LeeAnn or Marie for a girl's middle name.

3) Are you naming your child after someone? If so, who?
Charles is FIL first name or Ross is DH middle name
LeeAnn Lee my Dads middle name and Ann is MIL and my sister's middle name or Marie is my middle name.

4) What baby item do you just have to have? A baby swing.

5) What baby item would you suggest not to buy OR for you first time mommies what have you heard not to buy? I agree about the diaper genies, and if you don't have room for a changing table don't stress. A bed or a floor and a blanket work just fine.

6) What do you think you are having? Boy

7) What does DH think you are having? Boy

Is this your last child and if not, how many are you going to have?I think so, but I'm not going to due anything drastic just yet.

Megkate3 responded:
1) What will be your nursery theme? I will keep it classic winnie-the-pooh. We did that theme so it would be okay boy or girl.

2) Have you thought of any names and if so list them (if you want)? Not at all!!

3) Are you naming your child after someone? If so, who? Not sure. We won't starting talking names until after the big u/s (which is a week from Friday)! )

4) What baby item do you just have to have? I want to get a double stroller.

5) What baby item would you suggest not to buy OR for you first time mommies what have you heard not to buy? I will not buy Johnson and Johnson products for a newborn again. It totally dried out my DD's skin. Aveena is the best! Now that she is older and her skin isn't so sensitive I can use J&J, but in the beginning it was a waste.

6) What do you think you are having? Girl, but hoping boy. Only because I want DD to stay to baby girl and daddy's girl and all that!

7) What does DH think you are having? He doesn't have any thoughts and doesn't care (last time he desperately wanted a boy but is so in love with DD that he wouldn't mind having another girl) . . .

Is this your last child and if not, how many are you going to have? Probably not. I'm thinking 3 . . . maybe 4 (depending on how old I get) . . . we won't have #3 until DD is starting school.

Fun poll!!
