“When their design team asked me what I was feeling, I immediately just felt like a Colorado nature theme just felt right. All three of my kids were born in Colorado, and Colorado is very special to me and Eric,” says Jessie, who is married to former Denver Broncos player Eric Decker.
Noting how easy the process was, Jessie says Crate & Kids was able to match the theme perfectly. And she wasn’t alone in the journey — her husband was involved “quite a bit.”
“That’s kind of how he and I are, we both have our strengths. So he was really helpful as far as making sure they had the proper measurements and the proper layout of the room and made sure when we had people come to paint or do certain things, he was really hands-on on the technical part of everything so I was really appreciative,” she explains.
When designing the space, there were a few things that the expectant mom knew had to make it into the space.
“I think it was the color scheme,” she begins. “They presented the color scheme, but I knew once I had seen the vision. I had to have the terracotta, I had to have an olive green. It just felt right and it really just went with the vibe.”
As for things she didn’t think she’d need, the musician drew on her experience with her other three kids.
“I think because I’d done this so many times, I definitely knew what was necessary and what wasn’t necessary,” she says. “But I think if anything, what has been the biggest surprise is all the new updated items that they continue to come out with that didn’t exist when I started having babies 10 years ago.”
As her family has snowed in the past few days due to a snowstorm in their hometown of Nashville, Jessie has been using her snow days to add the final personal touches to her nursery.
“But we hung it yesterday and it was the last little completed piece to put in his room and it just felt so right and it was just beautiful.”
“They’ve been such a big help,” Jessie shares. “What I love about this is they’re really aware of what’s going on. Before, whenever Forrest was born, they were still babies themselves and so they knew what was going on, but not to this level.”
“He tries to hold my hand when we’re going up and down stairs or puts his hand on my back and gets worried, or he will not let me carry anything heavy because he’s just paranoid,” she remembers. “He’s like, ‘I got it, Mom. I’ll carry this.'”
As she gets ready to welcome her little one, the proud mom says she’s been feeling “out of breath,” but the hardest part has been dealing with pain in her hands and arms.
“But other than that, I’m just excited and I’m just so ready and I cannot wait to meet this little guy. And I just know we’re going to be all so obsessed with him.”
