Melissa,

Oh, I love your nursey theme! It's exactly what I want to do for our little guy due in July. I LOVE airplanes and have wanted to do that for a kids' room since Jacob was born. I'm an aerospace engineer so all of my family has given me a hard time that I'm trying to brainwash my boys :) And teddy bears are just cuddly and sweet, perfect for our sweet peas!

Jenn - I am LOL at "Lil Cletus" - how cute! And I like both Ian and Nicholas [our first would have been named Nicholas had she been a boy]. So, sounds like you can't lose whichever of you 'wins'. [;)]

I love all the "Isabels" too ladies - we have an "Isabella" and it is such a pretty, feminine name! I love it!

Funky cravings? I want green beans, bananas, and MEAT! LOL!

Have you started your nursery? Not doing one this time - we did one way back 10 years ago, and the kids all ended up sleeping with us for years. It was the fanciest non-slept in room in the house LOL!
