We have had this name for a while. It is always hard to say it because I wonder if there is some crazy reason why I would change it. I am 99.9% sure this is it! Balen is the only first name we have agreed on since the beginning. It has really grown on us.
Balen means brave. James was known for his righteousness and piety.
Knowing he is a boy and actually getting to think of him by name has been really special for me. It makes it all so real. After losing one, it has been difficult to not worry or think something is going wrong this time around. As each week passes, I am realizing that it really is happening and how amazing God is. I am now in my 21st week and I am still loving every second of being pregnant. We can't wait to meet him!
