Why we picked the name we did....

So I have been asked a bunch of times why we picked the name Reegan for the baby. So, I thought I would explain.

Here we go:

At first I didn't even remember (is that really sad, or what!!??), but then my sweet hubs reminded me.... He has liked the name Reegan for a long time.  I think we have known what name we were going to use for a girl for so long that I just forgot why we liked it.

Eric comes from Tampico IL, which is the birth place of Ronald Reagan. Yep, the 40th president of the United States. However, I did not want to name the baby "ray-gen" So, I decided to change the spelling so that it would be easier to see that her name was "rEE-gan." Thus, the name Reegan came about.

But, then, the problem of a middle name came about. We couldn't think of anything that we really loved the sound of, that went with the name Reegan. We toyed with names like Charlotte, Noel, and a few other names, all of which seemed to go well, but we were not convinced that they were right. Charlotte seemed to long, Noel is Eric's cousins middle name and the others we thought about just didn't fit together well. Then, one day, Eric and I were taking a walk, and I thought out loud, "I really like the name Grace, what do you think?"  Eric thought for a second and said "I like that name." And there we had it!! We had picked a middle name!! Woohoo and a name was born... Reegan Grace Zigler.

We are so excited that Reegan is almost here... Only 3 more weeks until my due date... Let's hope she makes her entrance into the world sooner rather than later, that is what I am hoping for, atleast!

Until I can put up cute baby pictures... let me leave you with a few pictures of our very adorable puppy dog, Cooper!...

Cooper wanted to go to bed so he snuggled into the clothes that were waiting to be folded on the bed!
