I love babies, they are so cute and innocent…Whenever babies are mentioned, I always remember the look of my baby the first time I held him. I could wanted him to stay a baby for the rest of his life, stupid huh?! This year has to have come with so many blessing for my friends and my neighbors. I have like three friends with buns in the oven and one just gave birth today and to tell the truth, I am jealous in a way, I want to have a baby too..I cant wait to see them and pinch their babies, where i come from when you go to visit a friend with a new born you refer to it as pinching….Ooohh and when i get a bun in the oven too I will let you know. Being pregnant is just the most amazing thing on the face of the earth. I enjoyed every bit of my pregnancy but the icing on the sugar was when the baby kicked, heavenly is an understatement!!!!
So, you have a bun in oven, you are so excited about it and you cant wait to hold your baby…I understand the feeling, I have been there..You want to decorate your baby’s room, here is how to go about it..Sometimes we dont have extra rooms in our houses and there is a baby on the way, worry not…You can always move some things from your bedroom to other rooms and create some space for the baby’s cot and some few small things…
If you are not a first time mum, your older baby’s clothes and other things can be used. you dont really need to spend a lot of money on things that you already have. That money can be used for something else that is more important. Accept clothes and other hand me downs from your neighbors and friends, they will go a long way in helping you save a dollar here and there…
Just buy the things that you need and leave the rest. For starters, a crib is the most important. There are some cribs that come as cribs, can change later to toddler bed and still be used as a full size bed. Well, these could save you alot and if you are not yet done with babies, they are a good investment. You will only need to buy just another single bed and you will be good to go. 
The next thing that you will need a lot is the changing station. You dont really need to buy another table if you already have a dresser in that room or a dresser thats not been in use. You will only need to place a changing pad on the dresser and you will be good to go. Once the baby is old enough, you can remove the dresser and you will still have a good dresser where you can place decorations, pictures and other things that the baby’s room will need. The dresser that you pick should be wide enough to accommodate a few things on the top like diaper bag, hand lotions and all the other things that you will need when changing the baby…
A glider or a rocking chair will also come in handy because most of the time you will be on that chair trying to rock your baby to sleep. The rocking chair would do you some good if it had some nice comforters. a nice table will also come in handy to place your phone, a journal, a book or just something that you might need when you are in the baby’s room.
Soft carpets will be good especially when baby starts crawling. Babies are prone to fall when crawling and it will be all good to have them fall on a soft surface. When decorating the ceiling, some colored covers will do the baby good when he starts recognizing and following things. Some few moving toys will also be good on his crib so that they can keep him or her busy although some experts say that the mobiles will distract babies from sleeping.
A gender neutral room will always do the trick.
And oohh, an extra bed in the baby’s room will also be a good asset. Once in while you might not make it to your on bed and it will feel good to watch baby sleep. Its also a good spot to read a good book or a place to reflect on whats has been happening….
