Wrapped Around Her Finger

I'm slowly beginning to realize that our daughter might be spoiled. The other day we were at Target and walked by a nursery furniture display. I commented that I liked the bedding set (comforter,sheets,etc.). Aaron commented that he really liked the furniture set and was very tempted to buy it. I just laughed because Aaron hates buying furniture, we couldn't really afford it, and we already had a perfectly fine set at home. But, he was seriously wanting to buy this $600 set, and I had to talk him out of it.
Then, a couple weeks later, Aaron woke up one morning and told me he wanted to paint the baby's room. My jaw dropped. NEVER has Aaron volunteered to paint anything, in fact he has often refused to even let me paint! So, I ran with the idea and agreed. He is even letting me pick the color! Then, a few mornings later, he woke up and told me that we needed to switch the baby's room with the boys' room and move all of our office stuff to our bedroom. I reminded him that this would require us to move around about 50% of our house and that I wouldn't be much help being pregnant. He was okay with it. He wanted his baby girl's room to be closer to us. So he spent that entire morning (a Saturday) moving everything, which ended up being a lot more than we thought.
Then, the following week when I was looking at baby bedding online, Aaron told me that he wants our daughter's room to be cute and themed and that I should work my "magic" to make it happen. I just had to chuckle. It's all I could do just to get him to be okay with me decorating other parts of the house when we moved in. I can clearly see that Aaron is wrapped around our daughter's finger and she isn't even born yet. Oh dear, I just might have to intervene to keep her from being spoiled rotten. I'll start right after I've gotten everything I need out of the deal...
