The wait is over...

We decided on a name for Baby Perry #2 a few weeks ago and have been "practicing" it for some time now.  We've been trying to get in touch with our parents and siblings to tell them first before announcing it, but with time differences and schedule conflicts, it was a little difficult.  Sorry to be teasing you for so long.  The wait is now over and our baby boy #2 will be.....

MILES LEE PERRY to be exact! 

(sorry, I didn't have enough blocks to spell out his whole name & was missing one more "E" to get his first and middle named together- so this will just have to do).  

Miles was a name we've had on our list since the beginning and just kept going back to it.  Lee is Brooks' middle name (and his dad's)!  We're really excited to finally have picked a name and we love talking about him as "Miles".  We giggle every time we mention putting something in "Miles" room or Gavin likes to kiss my tummy and he tells Miles hi!  It's precious & so surreal that we're having another baby.  

Back story... for those interested.....we had several names on our list that we really liked, but were having a hard time making a choice.  We ran into a conflict where we wanted this baby to have Brooks' middle name, but the first names we were picking wouldn't go with Lee (remember Brock?).  Then, we would pick first names that had disaster written all over them if he was given nicknames.... for example, we liked Harrison, however, if people called him Harry (which we really wouldn't want) then his name would be Harry Perry.  Yikes.  Not to mention, we considered the name Titus, but my older brother made one comment and that name was GONE!!!  We also liked Hudson, but if/when we have a girl, her name will be Brooklyn, NO MATTER WHAT (for Brooks and Lindsey put together)... so we really didn't think it would be appropriate to have 2 children's whose names seemed to be devoted to the state of New York (thanks mom and dad for that realization).    We got lots of ideas from friends and family and appreciated all of you who took time to offer us suggestions.  We honestly took them into consideration.
