Y'all know me- I'm a craft girl. As you can imagine, I'm ready to do baby things. I've known I wanted to put his/her name above the crib in wooden letters and had considered buying them one at a time with the 40% coupons from Hobby Lobby, starting with R and Y since both letters are in the names of the boy and girl.
Well, wooden letters are 30% off this week, so in an insane moment, I went to Hobby Lobby on lunch and got all the letters for both Bryson and Riley. The way I see it, buying them at 30% off and returning the necessary letters after next week's appointment makes way more sense than driving to Hobby Lobby (nowhere near work or home) to buy them at 40%.
This makes sense.... right? haaaahahhaha
Re: I'm completely irrational...
Hahahaha! That isn't irrational at all! In fact, it makes sense when there isn't a Hobby Lobby close anyway.
I'm a crazy planner...so, I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to manage decorating and such without finding out the gender until birth and I think we'll probably have a few "personalized" items ready with each name and then just set it up when we bring baby home.

LMAO!
I can tell this is going to be an interesting pregnancy. ;-)
The names are definitely set in stone. Now if we could come up with a middle name we like for Bryson, we'd be set. We've thought Kade, but aren't set on it.
I don't foresee a real theme until we move. I can't paint or anything at this house. I know we're doing a pink and light gray for a girl and a navy and gray for a boy, but no real theme.

What an awesome girl's name! I might be a bit biased though!
And, your logic makes total sense, maybe just don't tell your H
. Mine doesn't really understand shopping logic, anyway!
I'm totally on your side. I most definitely would have done that. Friends of ours did that too with their baby girl. He drilled holes at the top of each one and they're hanging by a light pink ribbon above her changing table.
P.S. Bryson Kade Stoker has a perfect flow/ring to it
P.P.S. the first middle name that popped into my mouth when I said Riley was Riley Ann.

Sometimes time saved is way better then money saved. And they were still on sale! I totally understand your logic especially if Hobby Lobby is out of your way! There will be plenty of other things to save money on too.
I am stressed about planning a nursery when the time comes. We are planning on selling our house and moving after the baby comes so I really can't go all out until we get a new house. Its going to be hard. H hardly lets me put holes in the walls to hang things now!
Anne is my dog's middle name (Bailey Anne). Ha. Riley's middle name will be Grace.
Ha. I thought you might like it!
That is a great name!
