What's In a Name..A Word from Mommy

Now that it is September and our little guy, Jaden, has decided to stick it out longer than we expected, we wanted to take a moment and recognize where his name came from and why we chose it!  My husband's name is Jason so we liked the idea of Jaden since it is similar but not the same.  We went back and forth about spelling but ultimately decided on Jaden so it is different from the girl version of the name.  Matthew means "god's gift" and this little guy is truly a gift to us.  We are blessed to be having a boy since boys are not plentiful in our families.  This little guy is a trooper; I have been sick so many times throughout this pregnancy and he has stayed strong throughout! The focus the entire time was on him being early and so far he has made it 36 weeks!  We are blessed to have a little girl with so much energy and love to share and also now with our son that is soon to arrive.  They are both determined little fighters.  We also all share middle names that begin with the letter "M" so that was another contributing factor to why we are naming our little boy Jaden Matthew Christie.  Can't wait to meet you little guy!
