'Teen Mom 2' Star Jenelle Evans Talks Pregnancy, Reveals Her Unborn Son's Chosen Name
Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith revealed on Monday that they would soon welcome a baby boy into their family, and Tuesday, the Teen Mom 2 star dished on the pregnancy and announced the child's name.
"I was happy either way no matter what we were gonna have, but Nathan was especially excited because he's a boy, so he was like jumping for joy," Evans revealed to Us Weekly on Feb. 4 of their gender reveal. "He's really, really excited to spoil him."
Evans and Griffith's son will join Evans' first child, 4-year-old Jace, who is currently under the care of her mother. In 2009, after welcoming Jace, Evans deemed herself unfit and signed over custody to Barbara Evans. Although Evans is no longer Jace's legal guardian, she does visit with him regularly, and says that he is excited about his new brother.
"[Jace has] been talking about how he can teach him little boy things now," Evans gushed. "He said he can teach him to play football, he said, 'I can teach him how to put on his clothes,' because we were talking about how he's gonna get Jace's old clothes when he grows out of them. So he's really excited to help out."
At the beginning of her pregnancy, Evans struggled with intense morning sickness, but now, a few months in, she's feeling much better - aside from the everyday stresses of life.
"Recently, I've been tired," Evans said. "I have to power through the days, because I got to school now on Tuesdays and Thursdays for medical clinical assisting."As for the baby's name, Evans and Griffith decided on Kaiser for their son.
"We were basically searching for baby names on the Internet, and we came up with a bunch of different unique ones," Evans revealed. "We didn't want something that everyone else had or had even heard before, even us. So we wanted something different, and we ended up looking up Kaiser."
In a Feb. 2 report by In Touch Weekly, it was said by a source close to Griffith that he and Evans had decided to name their child Kaiser Griffith if it was a boy, and Lydia Marie Griffith if it were a girl. Thus far, no middle name for Kaiser has been chosen.
