Baby Bean Gets a Name
Names can be really tricky, especially when it comes to naming your first born. When we found out we were having a boy, Ryan and I thought we had the perfect choice ready to go. Then, we saw how popular it was becoming and decided it probably wasn’t the best option. So, back to the drawing
