We've Picked a Name!

After mulling over names for a while, we came up with a list just like we did when trying to decide with Lydia.  I was already tired of names after a couple weeks and didn't care anymore.  Kelvin seemed to fair better in that regard.  With Lydia we had 2 different names and finally I think it was a couple hours after she was born we chose one.  I thought we would be the same with this little guy because I have decided I like to see my baby before I name them.  Everything was getting a little stressful for me in the name department but Kelvin really wanted to have a name long before the baby came and I could completely understand his point. 

So after narrowing the list down to 2 names, we decided on Jason Leroy Bailey.  Kelvin REALLY likes the name Jason and loves the fact that it's Greek (Lydia is also Greek).  For those who don't know, he kind of has a small obsession with Greek mythology and stories.  Okay, maybe it's not an obsession, but he loves things that are Greek (except the food oddly enough). 

Leroy is Kelvin's Great Grandfather's name and was more like a father to Kelvin's father.  He is a very special man to the Bailey's and after learning more about him, I thought it was appropriate.  We want our children's names to have meaning not be just a cute name.  Lydia is named after my mother and now Jason will be named after his Great Great Grandfather.  I thought it was interesting that we kept coming back to that name even without knowing the history behind the man.  We knew a little bit but learned more when we announced the name.  For some reason it kept sticking in our minds even when I had turned it down once before.  I'm not saying it was inspiration or anything just that from what I have learned about this man, I hope my son can be like him and am excited to have a good strong name passed on. 

Needless to say, we have already done a little shopping for Jason.  Both of us are VERY excited and waiting in anticipation for our little one to come.  Me especially because I can already tell that this baby is a lot bigger than Lydia was (and she was really big for me).  He is strong and I am starting to get worried that he will break one of my ribs or something in a few months when he is 3 or 4 times the size he is now.  It's definitely the Bailey's genes coming through on their birth size. 

Kelvin got both of these on his birthday.  He chose the one on the left and got the one on the right as a surprise.  He loves them both.  He will hold the little onsie's up to his face and get the sweetest expression.  he is very excited to be a daddy again.

I got to chose this one.

And my mom sent up Kelvin's birthday present (thank you mom) and along with it sent these onsie's!  ADORABLE!!  I love them!

So we will keep you updated about the progress with this baby and hopefully all the complications will not be an issue or work themselves out.  But no matter what happens, Jason Leroy Bailey is going to be very loved!
