The proud mother said the name Carter “has a spiritual meaning because it embodies leadership, wisdom, responsibility and creativity. It stands for service, ideals and community spirit.”
She added that people with this nickname are “generally” seen as “hardworking, loyal, disciplined and protective, who value security and maintaining close relationships.”
Jules then went on to talk about the many touching references to her son’s middle name, James. James means ‘gift from God’ and is Cam’s middle name.
The nickname is also Cam’s grandfather’s name, her father’s middle name, and is a tribute to Jules’ ‘oldest dear’ friend James Cleland, who has sadly passed away.

Before having her second child, Jules admitted she was worried her battle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) would return after giving birth.
The entrepreneur first spoke about her experiences with PMDD in October, having previously suffered from the condition three years ago when she had her first child, Oliver.
Jules exclusively told Ny Breaking Australia that her PMDD symptoms completely disappeared after she became pregnant earlier this year, but she still fears the symptoms could return after giving birth.
PMDD is a severe, sometimes debilitating form of premenstrual syndrome. It is characterized by extreme mood swings that can significantly disrupt women’s daily lives and put a strain on relationships.
“It’s a bright spot and a blessing of pregnancy that I no longer have PMDD,” said the reality star, who recently released her debut book Ask Jules.
Jules admits she worries her PMDD will return after she gives birth, but she remains optimistic this time around.
The couple welcomed son Oliver in September 2020 and in March this year Jules announced she was expecting her second child
“It’s a little time bomb going off. How am I going to feel? But I’m just going into it knowing that I have so much more education behind me,” she said.
Earlier in June, Jules was surprised by her friends with a wild baby shower before having her second child.
The party was quite lavish, but there were also some spicy games played.
Jules took to Instagram to share photos and videos from the shows, with one clip showing her wearing a blindfold as she She smelled a diaper that contained a brown substance.
The hilarious game where she had to figure out what the mysterious substance was, namely chocolate.
Jules also played a game called ‘Labour or Loving’, where guests had to guess whether photos of women indicated they were in a porn scene or giving birth.
After the giggling group completed their tasks, Jules was presented with a beautiful green ice cream cake.
The room was decorated with flowers, white, green and cream balloons and candles, and a ‘baby’ sign made of blocks.
Just weeks before her due date, Jules spoke to Ny Breaking Australia about her pregnancy and candidly revealed that she is already planning for her third child.
“We want another child,” Jules said enthusiastically, adding, “Who knows? If you believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Jules and Cameron fell in love in front of the cameras during season six of MAFS in 2019, before getting married for real in November of that year
‘Whatever that is, we will make it happen. I said that a few years ago [before getting pregnant the second time].
The red-haired influencer also shared the unique method she used to get pregnant at the age of 41, after three years of trying.
Jules and Cameron considered IVF before she was able to conceive naturally, which she credits in large part to Ayurvedic medicine.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian wellness system that claims to help patients achieve balance through diet, herbs, meditation, yoga, and detoxification.
“I discovered Ayurvedic medicine about two years ago. When I spoke to the specialist, it immediately became clear to me that my body would not be able to make a baby,” Jules explains.
Jules said she “never lost faith” after years of trying to have a child, learning the importance of slowing down and focusing on her own needs during the process.
‘When you’re an entrepreneur and you’re busy, you’re doing a million things, and you’re a mom, I“It’s very easy not to put yourself first,” she explained.
