BABY B", as my doctor knows him, has now been given a name. After MANY hours of random Internet name searching, exploring every baby name book we own and then some, from top to bottom, and creating a name poll, we keep coming back to this name! I think the reason we struggled so much, besides the fact that BOYS' names are just so hard to decide on, is because we were feeling the pressure to RHYME their names. We want these babies to feel like they have their own identity and we thought creating special and unique names for each child (that didn't rhyme) would be a great start to making that happen. I mean, is it really necessary to name them Faith and Hope or Mickey and Ricki???
As of last night, we finally decided that our second son and hopefully our last child's (sorry Darren) name will be Jaxon Reid Bolling. We really LOVED the name JAX, but felt that Jaxon had a little bit more substance to it. So, we will be calling our little man "Jax" for short and when he gets older he can decide if he wants to be called Jaxon or Jax. I think both names are very handsome/GQ. In addition, you know me, I wanted our son's name to have five letters in it since Lilah's name has five letters in it. And yes, that is the way we are spelling it!
Jax's middle name is a family name. It's Darren's father's name. We thought it flowed wonderfully with the name Jaxon. We considered a biblical name, but it just seemed like nothing went well with the name Jaxon other than Reid. So, Grandad, we hope you feel honored!!!!!!
Tomorrow, I will be 7 months pregnant. I only have less than 9 weeks to go. YIKES. I have my glucose testing tomorrow, on top of another sonogram, so please keep us in your prayers that everything goes smoothly. I plan to take some belly shots this week, too, since this is week 28. For those of you who haven't had an opportunity to see me lately you will be quite surprised at how quickly I have grown!!!! It's quite disgusting if you ask me, although, it's still only 21 pounds. I guess that's not bad for having two babies, two placentas, and two sets of amniotic fluid inside of me.
Stay tuned....

Kristin you and Darrin have choosen a great name. One of my dear friends has a little boy named Jaxon (spelled the same)as well. Boys names are so tuff, because you want something different and unique. I wish you the best of luck on your glucose test tomorrow. Again, Congratulations on your Miracles (Jaxon, Lilah, and Tyson).
