Julian's Month

Another July is ending. My mom was with us for Julian's birthday this year. We remembered him with a little cake and some quiet time on the porch on the evening of the 21st, because we were away from Taison at Tanglewood on Julian's actual birthday. That night before bed, I looked back at all of the photos of our first beautiful boy.

I think I'll always think of July as Julian's month. We didn't choose his name based on his birth month; it just worked out that way. I was actually convinced he would come late and would be an August baby. It seems strange now to think that we didn't even know if he was a boy or a girl until he was born. We chose a boy and a girl name for "Baby Bell" in the quiet time of my labor after getting an epidural and before pushing. I can't remember now what girl name we chose. Julian was perfect for our sweet little boy, though.
