So do you like how I just slipped his name in there like that? Did you notice? We've been calling him Oliver for about a week now but only just decided tonight that we couldn't imagine calling him anything else so it is officially his name. Oliver has been on my list since I was pregnant with Lily. If it was a girl I wanted her to be named Lilian and if it was a boy, then Oliver. Our list had gotten a lot longer since Lily was born and it was hard to rule out all the other wonderful names we've both added to it over the years. But in the end, I just couldn't get Oliver out of my head and whenever I looked at him I just saw Oliver. Devinder also likes the name and agrees that it would be strange to call him anything other than Oliver now. Lily calls him Elevator and Nadia calls him Alwer or something like that. Still haven't 100% decided on a middle name, but we still have 18 more days to do that!

Oliver's Due Date
Seems strange to think that I could still be pregnant. Oliver is only 12 days old but it's like he's always been here and I couldn't imagine life without him.

That's so funny! Our first is Lilly (Lillian) as you know and Oliver is on my list of boy names for our little guy who should be here in ten days or so. It's not number one on my list, but it's there. I just find that funny.
Your little Oliver looks adorable! I'm glad things are going well.
I *LOVE* the name Oliver - always have! I think it was on my 'list' too. Hooray, I'm so glad the little man has a name, and what a perfect one at that!
