Baby boys room- update 1

I scored this chair on Craigslist for $50 and just a couple miles away! Amazing right?! It is so comfy and in such great shape. I just wish it had an ottoman that went with it. I love that it is green, well more of a sage color, and looks like it will match his bedding great.


Baby boy is getting Raegan's old dresser and we are ordering a new crib for him. Raegan's old crib is now the headboard of the guest bed and I don't trust Ryan to put it back together correctly and safely. And who knows if all the parts made the move or if Ryan threw some out because he didn't want to move them.

Baby Bear's bedding is Bananafish Nantucket. It is so cute and preppy. Blue and green with little alligators. We are going to paint his room this weekend. The bottom part will be navy blue, white chair rail and then the top will be light green.



We have a little rug, window valance, and a little alligator picture for the wall. We need to decide on a name so I can make the letters to hang above the crib. I'm not sure what other decor we will do. His room is about half the size of Raegan's so luckily we don't have as much wall space to fill.

And the whole name game... I think we might have a name. But I'm still not ready to buy the letters and hang them on the wall. My friend Abbey gave me some very good advice the other day. She asked if someone else were to use that name, either before baby bear was born or if we don't use it and then someone else does, how would we feel? Well that pretty much sealed the deal for me. I would be pissed. I feel like I came up with this name, I'm not really sure how I did because it's not a common. In 2010 there were less than 300 baby boys given this name in the US. It was like 1132 on the SSA baby name list. I don't know of anyone with this name, nor have I ever heard of someone with this name. If you google it, nothing really comes up about it being a name for a person. But Ryan and I really like it. It sounds good with Raegan and it actually works with our last name. The middle name will probably be Ryan instead of Joseph like it technically should be to carry on family tradition. But thats all I am saying for now. We aren't telling the name as of now because honestly I don't know if people will like it and I don't want to hear peoples options on it. Once he is here and that is his name no one can do anything about it. Plus, since it's not a popular name we want to make sure it fits him once we see him.
