Around SBN: Jon Jones, Rashad Evans Reignite Rivalry

And the Winning Name Is...


Jonathan. Yes, the BB baby decided he had enough of his mommy pumping him with aderneline the last two games, and decided to show up before the Kanas State game, 17 days early and exactly one year to the day of his only cousin (a fellow UCLA legacy). Yes, you read that right, my in-laws' grandkids have the same day, which is the day after my father-in-law's birthday.

 

However, little Jonathan won't be able to enjoy much of his first game, part because of the time (9 pm may be past his bedtime) and because he is getting some therapy for jaundice. It's nothing serious, but he's required to spend most of his time on a tanning bed in his crib, and can only get up for changes and feedings, and can only wear a diaper. However, his dad is quite resourceful, so he won't go totally without a game.

 

That also means, I won't be able to get a picture of him in his UCLA gear until the Stanford game, but the most important thing is that, jaundice aside, our little guy is healthy and his on his way to being Bruin.

 

P.S. I mentioned that Mr. BB is resourceful. When he came back to the hospital after getting his last night of uniterrupted sleep for a while, he brought Jonathan's "UCLA 101" book and we have a picture of us showing it to him.

Don't be surprised if he is a basketball player

I didn’t contribute the height genes, but Mr. BB is 6’3", and Jonathan already has long legs. Right now, any sport scholarship to UCLA would be very welcomed in this house.

Hope is middle name is Ogden...

What a blessing. Enjoy the time in the hospital. It is hard at first to let the nurse do stuff but bank some well deserved sleep now. YOu’ll need it later.

Congrats!!
