So after much debate.... We had narrowed down the names to Jaxon, Wesley, or Kaleb. By the time we got to the hospital I had thrown out Kaleb, but I was still not sure which I liked best. Wesley is my Great Grandpa's middle name. I really liked it. And thought it was kinda neat that my mom had considered the name for a few of my brother's. Also, I really like the movie the Princess Bride! haha! I know I am cheesy. Derek was leaving it up to me to decide and it was starting to stress me out. I really liked both and I thought that both seemed to fit him well. After a little hormone break down I pleaded with Derek to just pick one. He picked Jaxon because he said he has liked it longer. (It was a name we had considered naming Lukas.) So right as we were being discharged I wrote down his first name... Jaxon! Jaxon Joseph Ritchie. We like to have the middle names to be a family name. Joseph is my Mother's father's name.

I love how you spelled Jaxon. Good choice.
Congratulations Krista and Derek.
Wow, almost 9 lbs. I think he was ready to come. How fun to have Casen and Jaxon so close together.
Now, we will wait for Kim....three
boy cousins added to the band of boys. How fun.....Ruthann
Congrats! Your naming story made me laugh because I had exact same breakdown naming Casen the week before, and I made Ryan pick between our top two. It's so stressful when you don't have THE name all picked out beforehand. I can't wait to meet the cute little man!

I hope the blessing went well! Sorry we couldn't be there! I was up in Utah... Congrats again!
