Boho blush

The Bohemian style carries over to the nursery when you add floral print wallpaper with hints of pink. A rose-colored canopy also adds to the eclectic nature that’s characteristic of this motif. Also, in place of drawers, a set of decorative baskets would provide handy storage and a rustic touch. Another positive aspect about a Boho-themed nursery is that it can easily transition into a child’s playroom/bedroom.

Mini-minimalist pink nursery

Simplicity can go a long way when creating a minimalist pink nursery. In fact, minimalist cribs, changing tables, and other furniture are so easy to find and would match well with delicate pink walls and a simple rug. For additional cuteness, you can also include some black-and-white photographs or sketches of baby animals.

Classic rose

What if you could find the most beautiful crib that has railing that resembles the antiques of past eras? And can you imagine classical artwork in oval frames adorning the walls? With a soft rose hue, you’ll easily capture the look of a vintage-inspired, classic pink nursery. All you’ll need to add are some cute Mother Goose or fairytale figurines on floating shelves. And don’t forget a Velveteen Rabbit in a child-size rocking chair.

Modern magenta and hot pink

Another great idea that’s a refreshing, modern take on the pink nursery is an ultra-bright pairing of colors. For instance, you can create an accent wall of hot pink behind white or pastel pink, built-in shelves. Or you can combine teal or aqua with magenta for a super unique room that’s inspired by abstract art.

Plus, your baby will love the visual stimuli. Better yet, with this color combo, you can adapt the look to suit an older child with bold bedding, framed artwork, and a playful area rug.

Ballet slipper inspiration

This early in the game, it might be a stretch to assume your little girl would love ballet, but who can resist a pink baby nursery that’s inspired by Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty?

You can achieve this motif by finding curtains and bedding with prints that consist of dancers, teddy bears in tutus, or ballet slippers. By adding tulle trim around the edges of throw cushions on a rocking chair, and around the bumpers and the hem of the dust ruffle, you’ll complete the ballet theme that’s a class act.

The pink princess castle

You can also create a pink princess nursery that’s fit for royalty. The focus of the room can be a crib that’s white or beige with metallic trim. When you place a dust ruffle at the bottom and pink bows on the outside, the baby’s bed takes on a whole new look that resembles storybook illustrations. For additional castle-like decor, you can also install a small, crystal chandelier light fixture on the ceiling. An accent wall with pink wallpaper with metallic fleur-de-lis or swirls completes the regal motif.

Fun-filled combos

Likewise, pink comes in many shades, which makes it such a versatile color to mix and match with other hues. For example, pastel pink combines beautifully with mint green. You can also add some paisley print curtains or crib bumpers to tie the pink-and-green combo together.

Other fun colors that pair well with pink include:

  • Brown for a “sprinkled cupcake” look
  • Black for a whimsical yet sophisticated look that lasts for years
  • Navy blue for a unique accent wall that offsets the pastel pink
  • Gray (with a hint of silvery-blue) for a tone that offsets any metallic accents

Playing with different paint swatches to find the best combination is half the fun of creating a pink nursery. As you can see, the rosy tone goes with just about any other color.

Overall, pink is a fun color to utilize when planning a nursery. With so many shades to choose from, you can come up with some adorable and functional ideas for a pink nursery. So, whether you select pink as the main color or just for an accent wall or for the trim and furnishings, the result will be a peaceful abode where your baby can play, nap, and dream.

Do men get paternity leave? Here’s what you need to know
We know women take time off for having a baby, but do men get paternity leave?

When a woman finds out she is pregnant, part of the initial planning is figuring out maternity leave, from when it will start to how long it will be. While we immediately think of the time the mom will take off work for the baby, what about the dad? Do men get paternity leave? Here's what you need to understand about dads taking time off work for the birth of a child.
If men get paternity leave, here's how they can take it

There are a few options for the dad to take time off work for the birth of a baby, and it's all pretty similar to how a mother would take maternity leave. There are types of leave dads can't take since they aren't the ones having the medical procedure or going through the actual birth, but there are some workarounds.
Take FMLA
FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) allows mothers, fathers, and non-birthing parents to take up to 12 weeks off work to care for a new child. The time off is unpaid, but your position will be there for you when you return. There are rules and stipulations to use FMLA depending on where you work and for how long, and you may not qualify to use it under certain conditions, so talk to your employer as soon as you find out your partner is pregnant to know your options. FMLA is amazing if you qualify, but please remember it is unpaid. 
Use your PTO and vacation time
Another way to take some time off (and still get paid for it) is to use your PTO and vacation time. The second you know your partner is pregnant, start saving up your time. Talk with your HR department to see how much time off you can stack together and see if they will work with you on how to best use your time. If you can't use it all at once, see about peppering days off throughout the week to get you down to only working one to three days a week so you can still be home quite a bit.
Use unpaid time
Another option is to talk to your HR department about unpaid time off. Depending on how long you have been with the company, you could be entitled to an extended unpaid leave or a sabbatical, or your work will let you take time off for certain things like a medical issue or the birth of a child. This is another unpaid way to take time off, so you need to plan appropriately.
