All the people on here are jerks. This sounds so f*cking annoying tbh. I would be irritated with it too! I would say something along the lines of “I really like having my own unique style. I am happy that you find the same style pretty, but we should find your child some different stuff than what mine has, there could be things out there you’ll like more. If you’d like I’d be happy to show you some names of some shops and online shops so you can find things in that genre, but still have a theme you truly love!”

She will look back and realize that she was being annoying and feel bad. She looks up to you and thinks you have awesome taste and is very insecure of her own style. I can say it because I have done that in the past and it was pure insecurity.

Imitation is the best flattery.
You’re right you don’t have a trademark on your style and theme. There are more important things and not worth hurting your relationship over it.
Why not just tell her that it took you time to come up with a theme and if you appreciate it if she changed hers.

People copy celebrities/ social media influencers all the time and most people don’t find that annoying. I take it as a sign of flattery and that she looks up to you and if it really bothers you that much, then have you sat her down and talked to her about it? Just be careful to how you word things because you could hurt her feelings and put a damper on your all’s relationship.

How about suggesting to her that you would love to help her find her own styles, things that would suit her. You could be a Interior Decorator or Personal Shopper in the making!! Helping others with their styles!
Ask her if you can help her and make hers different. Don’t look at it as a bad thing. Take it as she thinks you have great taste. Especially if she is a friend and family. I had someone name their child after mine. I thought that was awesome. Life’s to short to be upset about nothing

That’s easy start telling her what you going to do … what style colour etc and that you’ve ordered it differentfrom what you really are gong to get . wait for her to get it then get something totally different… what you were originally intending on getting that will stuff her right up

Try recommending things that you think will fit her specifically and commenting on how important it is to be an individual! It worked for me!
I went through a weird phase where this girl would join the sports I joined, even quit volleyball once I did, started wearing clothes like me and even cut and dyed her hair the way I did!
I was so angry all the time until my mom told me, for some reason, she may not feel confident enough to be herself but she looks up to you. It is kind of your responsibility to help her find herself.
Maybe try to help her. Go shopping with her and see her preferences. Send her links or pics of things that you think she’d like or will compliment her. Tell her when something reminds you of her or show it to her. Some people latch on to those they admire. She is most likely insecure or has had issues with someone telling her things she chooses or likes are wrong. My situation worked out and we ended up even becoming friends. She eventually started venting to me how her father always told her how stupid she was or asked her what made her think the way she did. It made a lot of sense after that. Good luck.

Other than the diaper bag with patches on it everything else is pretty normal. People if similar ages get pregnant close to one another, grey and pink is a pretty basic theme for the nursery. Maybe she thought your diaper bag was super cool and liked it, knew that what she needed would fit. Maybe your SIL is becoming your BEC and you should take a break from them. The stress isn’t good for baby and she should have someone around her that cares for her.

My guess is this gals taste is the same as many, many. Buying all this stuff that her sister in law also is buying. If your taste was less mass marketed it would be more difficult to copy. Millions have the same crap from Target. Homegoods e.t.c. Both rooms are probably dull.

I wouldn’t say anything to her or her husband. She obviously likes and adores you and your style. She wants you kids to be close. She’s not doing any harm is she? If it bothers you that much than stop being friends with her. She likes what you like.theres no reason you should feel any sort of negative feelings about that. If you’re annoyed that she’s copying you thats on you not her. Thats a you problem not hers. You can’t tell anyone especially an adult that you don’t want them to do, buy, wear, decorate something because you feel they are copied. She can do what she wants. Just because someone gets pregnant the sa.e time as you do, or engaged the same way, or wears the same style or has the same baby name or room deco doesn’t mean they are copying you. Ppl will do what they want and they have the right to.
Choose to be flattered instead of annoyed! You’re going to end up being resentful otherwise. There are way worse issue to be dealing with than this 
Takeout as a compliment!!! No need to be petty.

I’d probably find other things to be annoyed about - be flattered that someone else likes your style. As for her getting pregnant 10 weeks after you, do you honestly believe someone would make such a huge life decision just to copy you? Relax and enjoy your family - if this person is family and a close friend just be there to support them. Some people lack their own sense of style and ability to decorate - if you want her to choose differently maybe you could help her with some alternative options - give her some ideas on different styling options - say wow have you seen this colour combination etc and see how it goes - she must look up to you in a sense so try to be less offended.

On baby #3 here 
I’m always copying my girlfriends or neighbors or family with things I like that they do or that I think are smart:joy: I wouldn’t necessarily call it copying but exchanging ideas with other mamas. My neighbors and I always joke around that we are both keeping up with the Jones’s cuz we do one thing and then the next day they are doing it too or vise versa. Maybe you are thinking of things she hasn’t thought of yet. And as far as the timing she got pregnant… you cant decide when you get pregnant, it’s in the Lord’s hands. I mean you can plan and try to get pregnant at a certain time but when it happens isnt up to us. I agree with what another mama said, may be pregnancy hormones adding to the irritation. But if you guys are family and friends, try to let it go. Especially when it comes to baby items cuz alot of them you are gonna have the same things (the newest greatest carseats, the same brand diapers and wipes, etc.) We want the best for our babies and sometimes taking hints from other mamas is the most helpful 
try not to let it get to ya

I have learn to rise above it but i had the same but with a friend with my name for my little girls she also copied the nick name maiya moo as moo didt come into it till she was one she took convulsions fights so on way to hospital in ambulance she had a wee cover had moo moo cows on it and the lady said awe thst dose rhyme maiya moo she looked at her mee name in cover in a bad time she made it just a tad better but friend sister got pregnant 6 months after she was born and called here little one maiya moo when was so close and personal to me and my daughter was our wee thing ass I seen on fb was maiya moo this and that but rise above it as not worth ur time getting upset over she mite like every one els just liked way ur doing things to prepare I had to as was end up gonna loose a friend over a name instead of accepting it is what it is and can’t change the fact she has same name as my little one xx
Ummmm I’m really hoping this is just your hormones talking for you………
Maybe this mama loves and adores everything about you and the way you and your family live your day to day life. Maybe she’s just insecure and just feels lost in this overwhelming world and she finds a certain happiness in how you approach your life and hopes that maybe she can find hers, maybe you should try to be a real friend to her and like you said, but be so petty.

I completely understand how that could be aggravating. Especially if its a constant. Yeah copying is flattery but to an extent. It gets to a point where its almost an intrusion on yourself as an individual. If its as bad as you say it is it could be a sign of borderline personality disorder on her part. And it may be a compulsion especially if you are also good friends. Unfortunately after a while it is very off putting. And there’s not much you can do on your end to stop it. I know most won’t see it that way and say to take it as a compliment but there comes a point where its draining. I hope it works out in the end.

Ummm…its kinda a petty thing to complain about, I mean, if she names her baby the same as yours, yeah that would be serious but a crib and some paint?? Her 1st baby? Maybe since your such good friends you should take it as her thinking you bought good stuff and wants to do the same?
I mean, does she cut her hair like you, maybe drive the same make and color of car, bought the house next door??

It may be that she feels you know what you doing while she feels unsure of herself. She trusts and values your opinion. Hence the copying. It actually tells how high she puts your opinions… instead of saying she copies you she’s showing you in her opinion you know what you doing…

You’re obviously an innovator, not an imitator. Yes it is very annoying to be constantly copied, but………try to see it as a big compliment that they follow your ideas and trends, they’re not competing with you, just following……….

Just ignore and don’t let it bother you. I used to get very frustrated when people blatantly copied me. Now I just ignore and accept that obviously they like my taste and style so just take it as a compliment.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Consider it a compliment and let it go!
I’d take it as a compliment! My and my roommates used to copy each other and then argue about who copied who first! If it’s cute it’s cute!! Lol maybe she has trouble draining and finding her own style and just loves yours so much so models after it! It if you want to say something without “actually saying something” start buying y’all’s kids matching outfits and say well they match with everything else so I’d thought I’d get them matching clothes…… I personally would love that.
Instead of it bothering you, take it as a compliment. You must have good taste if they want to copy everything. That’s what I did with my neighbours and once it stopped bothering me….I stopped noticing
I feel you on this just say my ex sister in-law herd the names I wanted to name my sons and she named her two boys the two names I mentioned that I’ll be naming my
Boys 
I had a friend just like this. Didn’t really bother me at all, took it as a huge compliment, I obviously had great taste. Also everything that people have its because it’s been copied from someone else.
She likes you and loves your taste in decor. If you would just chill out you would probably have a great relationship with her.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery… Maybe they just look up to y’all
So both babies are girls?
Send her some cute nursery pics on Pinterest and be like omg isn’t this adorable!? Or what an amazing nursery!! Maybe she’ll want to switch?? Idk
It shows she likes and looks up to you.
Instead maybe offer different insight.
Like I did this but why do you think about this one or another?
Ask her what she likes and help her find it.
