Caroline Crawford Patterson, who co-hosts the Honey We're Home podcast with Nicole Pellegrino, explained in an episode on Tuesday, April 2, that her mother is currently decorating a nursery in her home for Crawford Patterson and her husband John to stay in when they have a baby.
Describing how she currently has "baby fever," the 29-year-old says that her mom is somehow "unknowingly manifesting a boy" for her.
"She’s decorating a nursery right now so that doesn’t help. Like for me," Crawford Patterson says.

“In what room? Her house?” Pellegrino asks.
Crawford Patterson explains that the nursery will be in her mom's house, in the room where she and her husband usually stay.
“You guys, long story short, neither John or I have bedrooms in our homes when we go home. Haven’t for years," Crawford Patterson says. "All of our other siblings have bedrooms. We just don’t."
"My sister, who still lives in Charleston but doesn’t live at home anymore, finally when she moved out, we had a room to sleep in," she continues. "And now it’s being turned into a nursery and I’m not even pregnant? Where am I going to sleep?”

Crawford Patterson agrees, saying that she'll always want to come home because she knows her mom has a special place for her baby to sleep.
“That is cute though. I think it’s really cute when grandmothers, well I guess mothers and mother-in-laws get really excited about the baby," Pellegrino adds. "And get a crib and make a little nursery."
"Like Mike’s mom has that in their house. And she decorated it like safari themed," Pellegrino says of her husband's family. "'Because you guys went on safari!' But it’s like…my sister-in-law’s kids sleep there now. But she’s like, yours will when…it’s just like a rotating nursery.”
“That’s cute because she’s thought about you too. Because I think I’m the only person that’s going to get a personalized nursery and then everybody else is just going to sleep there," Crawford Patterson says of her siblings' families. "But I’ll be the first to have a baby so it’ll be kind of tailored to what me and my mom do together.”
