Nursery

[lkaykirk]

So my mom is making all the bedding and curtains for the baby's room. And my sisters and I along with hubby have made the decorations.  Like a canvas with his initials and a pretty framed mirror.  And so I got a text this morning from my sister in law asking what the theme of the room is so she can start working on our present for the baby shower. Well I told her and that the baby's room is already taken care of.

Has anyone else had people make things for the baby's room and given it to you without talking to you about it first?because we don't have anymore room to hang stuff in his room. And she has no clue what we already have. Should I just let her waist her time? My hubby thinks I should.

Maybe take some pictures of the room and send them to her/text them to her.  The burn on gifts is that the people giving us something feels good doing it.  And we have to be gracious when accepting it.  It's a good idea to maybe make a couple of suggestions of 'something' that can go in the room from a caddy for diapers (she could get a wicker basket and paint it), to something to go over the dresser or changing table, etc.  

good luck hon

Whatever people gift is a blessing and thoughful if she didnt offer you might wonder why. Besides babies like to puke and pee snd poop everywhere so multiples of things are great to have!

She lives 6 hours away. But our dresser doubles as a changing table. And by the time she sees the room it will be too late because it will be the day before the shower.

Invite her over to see the room so she knows what you won't have room for.. And she will make you something you can put on the crib or dresser.

I think my issue with it is that she isn't asking she is just doing. It's our first child. We should be the ones to have a say in what goes in our kids room not whatever people give us.

I would just let her do it. It probably makes her happy to be making something special for the baby You can always find a place to put it, even if its in the closet when she's not around.

My mom made the changing pad stuff too. I guess I'll just let her do it. But I did let her know everything is done. I even posted it on facebook. So Idk.

Communication..just tell her your room plans and act like you totally spaced her whole present text lol

[Mommabanielle]

Maybe she's just making a changing pad cover or something that you'll want to use every once in a while. I say let her do it. She's just trying to be thoughtful and I think it might come off as rude to tell her no, because you're basically telling her to get you something different for the shower. Sounds like your nursery is adorable! And good luck!

I would tell her that you guys designed an original theme and it's already done. Maybe she can gear her gift to something else...or fill you in on her idea to make sure it works.
