He'll be coming home tomorrow afternoon. Thanks to all who have commented. Until you become a parent, you just can't imagine the extreme amount of pride and I'm already feeling it. He's not even 2 days old yet either.
He got Alexander from his deceased uncle, my 3rd brother (I'm 5 of 5). It was his middle name and he was quite proud of it. This is just a small tribute to the best brother I could have ever asked for. He crossed the finish line at the Little Rock marathon 2 1/2 years ago and that was it. He collapsed and his heart had given out. We recently got a letter from Harvard. They are studying his case to try to make improvements in sports medicine so they can make the Boston Marathon better and safer. He also competed in the Boston the year before, finishing in the top 700 or so.
Oliver was originally supposed to be my middle name, but Dad nixed that idea as he didn't want me named after any tractors. Fast forward a few years and I rebuilt my grandpa's 1600 and have a slight case of meadow green fever. It only seemed natural to put the names together.I love the name Oliver and while I wish it could have been mine, I'm just as proud to give it to him instead.
