At the end of the post is an explanation of the crazy name changes that have been going on with this little guy.
A little about his name drama….
We have officially, (as in applied for the legal name change), chosen Caleb as this baby boy’s name. I don’t know why it was so hard for us to decide. Ok, it was hard for ME to decide! We went through several names and every time I would decide on a name, it would feel wrong. Blame it on the stress of pregnancy complications, hospital bed rest, a c-section, and constant severe tension headaches since his birth, and you get a mom who just can’t decide on what name is right for her baby. One name was too trendy, one was too similar to Adam and Abby, one was Nat’s favorite that kind of grew on me, but then just seemed wrong. Caleb is a name that I have liked from the beginning but that Nat didn’t. After lots of discussion and tears, he assured me that he was ok with the name Caleb. I am finally at peace! We went to the local Health Department building and changed his birth certificate. It will take up to a month for the change and then we’ll just have to get a new social security card, notify the health insurance and doctor and we’ll be good to go.
So….Caleb Mark Gardner is finally here to stay!

Congrats! Love the name!!! Naming children is really difficult for me as well. I need to feel at peace with it!
I shouldn't have laughed, but I did :)
Caleb was my going to be Caroline's name had she been a boy, so I obviously love it. He is soooooo cute!
Darling pictures! I love all his peach fuzz. He is such a handsome little guy. I'm so happy for you and your family and I'm glad everything worked out well.
