OH gosh! Don't feel guilty! He won't care one wit about not brand new stuff for him. Now if you had pink frills everywhere in his room I might encourage you to get some boyish stuff but room decor is far too expensive to be buying new every time. You will have loads of fun finding cute clothing for him. That will all (necessarily) be just for him. And toys. He will most likely want something with wheels and dirt. :)

Of course you can re-use everything - I'm doing that (ok it's easier for me because two boys), with the exception of the bedlinen. I haven't even bought any new clothes because some of the bubby's really small baby stuff was hardly worn, because he outgrew it so quickly. So far the only new stuff I've bought for new baby, are new bottles, new bedset (ocean theme i.e. turtle/octopus/fish etc), matching laundry bag, and new dummy's. That's it so far. Might get one or two outfits that are new, just so that I can tell them apart in their early 'going home from hospital' photos later!

Not only should you re-use everything (just think of all the extra money you'll save for cute boy clothes and a pedi for YOU!), but it makes it even more special for them to share it. You should save the little quilt from that set and pass it down to their kids one day...

I definitely think you should use it! It's way too cute to keep in the closet!

I don't see anything wrong w/re-using everything. To make it feel like "baby boy's"~buy a couple pics that go along w/the theme & hang in the room. That's a cute bedding set, btw :)

Don't feel badly, Hannah! You can always incorporate some more "boyish" things into the crib bedding and decor that you'd already bought for Olivia. I think that it would be silly not to reuse it! Gosh, I remember you posting that picture when you were pregnant with Olivia. Seems like yesterday!

I say definetly re-use it. It wouldn't even be re-using it b/c Olivia really never used it....so I think it would be way cute! It will be exciting for Olivia too - sharing something with her little Bro!!

That decor is SO cute. I would feel guilty not using again. I'm sure you'll find some great accessories, though, to make his nursery all about him!

I have a feeling your little boy is never going to hold it against you that he never got his own special baby bedding. A girl might...but a boy...no way. Plus, I have a feeling your little guy is going to get plenty of his own things.

I wouldn't feel guilty. He is going to have a big boy room and he can have all new stuff then!

Like you said it's gender neutral and your doing other stuff in your little guy's room to make it his own.

It's sweet your kids are sharing.

ohhh i think that bedding is just too cute for a boy... you have to let him use it!! and do what GFF said... go get the nails done girl!!

I love that bedding!! And if Olivia never used it, whose to say that he will? He might be a bed sleeper, too. So don't feel guilty at all. If it were pink and unused, you'd probably feel torn about buying new that he might not use since Olivia didn't use hers. Right? (sounds good anyway! LOL)

Sweetie...why does that bother you? She never used it...and most probably he won't either (I know where you are coming from since my kids also always shared our rooms until the were 'big kids') If you buy him new stuff, you most probably won't use it either

I completely understand your feelings because I would feel the same way too! But then I would hear my dear friend tell me that I was crazy if I didn't use the things! lol!
