For all of you who thought we were ... let's say "quirky" ... for naming our little boy after our street -- this news will verify our "quirkiness." We changed his name to Oliver! I couldn't help but shake his Oliverness since we've been home from the hospital. Call it a mother's intuition, or maybe post-partum "quirkiness," but this guy has been an Oliver to me since the day that I finally got enough to sleep to comprehend his amazing arrival into our lives. Fortunately they give new parents 45 days to make any changes to the birth certificate. So we went to the county birth records desk and made it official. (The lady said that this happens a lot.)
Happy 1 month birthday: Oliver Truman Olson. It's so perfect -- just like him :)
For fun, here are some things that he won't have to hear when he grows up (that mommy and daddy have actually heard, btw):
*Drexel? Sounds like an antihistamine/sleeping pill.
*You have the same name as your street, oh for Pete's sake!
*What's your name? What?
*Oh, like the University?
*Where did your parents get that name from?
*I'm going to call you Avenue.
*At least it's not as weird as Apple.

It will be hard to not call him Drex but we think his new name is cute! Great story for elementary school too. "My name used to be..."
Shoot.
That means I have to come up with a new nickname? I LOVED "Av"!
Welcome baby Oliver Truman Olson. Oliver the peaceful one! As your life unfolds, may you always be blessed with love and look forward to unlimited possibilities!
I went through some of the stages of grief with Drexel. I finally got to acceptance stage last week. Now I'm back to denial. My therapist is going to be a rich man.
I wanted to let you know that your photo shoot was beautiful. Oliver is so darn cute!!!
