Why Reece Urban?

"Reece \re(e)-ce\ as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Reese), is pronounced reece.  Meaning of Reece is "enthusiasm". "

We chose Reece at 38 weeks because we knew if Baby J were indeed a boy, he would be full of enthusiasm and energy. He was quite the wiggle worm my entire pregnancy. He danced and kept a steady rhythm each day in Kinderland and kept me up many nights kickin' and squirmin'. In fact, I was tempted to go to the hospital on his due date before my water broke because he was soooo active I thought he was strangling himself with his umbilical cord. He was ready to enter this world and has been all smiles ever since. 

We chose Urban when Reece was 2 minutes old. We debated over using Brent's middle name of Alan and my maiden name of Urban the entire pregnancy. We decided if I were a week late and induced on the 19th, we would use Urban for a boy middle name since my grandfather L.F. "Papa" Urban's birthday was March 19. If Baby J came any other day, we'd use Alan. Well, Brent knew that deep down in my heart I really wanted to use Urban. When the nurse asked his name, Brent said "Reece Urban Jacobson." I cried...go figure! 

I know you are all thinking "And what would the girl Baby J be called?" Well, you'll just have to wait and find out when that day comes :)
