The hubby and I spent another Baby Sunday yesterday doing things to get the baby girl’s nursery ready, and I must say it looks adorable. However, I am more convinced then ever that men just don’t understand the purpose of preparing the nursery. My hubby was great about hanging the shelves and adding a couple of little wall decor items here and there but when I told him how much I loved it and how I thought I was going to cry his response was, “you know she’s not even going to notice this stuff for months or maybe even years.” Ouch. Thanks babe for that little dose of reality. I guess he’s right that she isn’t going to care what color her room is painted or appreciate the work that went into the little details. She’s going to care about being warm, being fed and feeling secure in her new life outside of my tummy bump. However, I still think that prepping the nursery is an important part of the preparation for welcoming a new member into the family. I guess with my hormones and the fact that I carry her around with me 24/7 I just get a little more into those details and hey I’m a chick…. it’s what we do.
So how ’bout you mamas? Did you have a hard time getting your hubby into the excitement of prepping the nursery for baby? Leave ChitChatMom a comment and tell me your nursery story.
