Amber and Greg, my niece and nephew-in-law, had their first baby today. They had a little boy, which makes him my first great-nephew. He was born at 6:40 pm CDT. He weighs 8 lbs. 3 oz. and is 20 in. long.
His name is Jared Walker Hansen. He’s named after two of his three grandfathers, Greg’s dad and Amber’s dad. I really want to call him Walker so I don’t have to differentiate between a brother named Jared and a great-nephew named Jared. There are already too many double names in my family–two Karens, two Brittanys, three Bretts (spellings are different, though). But, everyone else is going to call him Jared, so I guess I’ll conform too … maybe.
Amber and Jared are doing great. In fact, Amber’s doing more than great because Jared came on his due date and she was worried he wouldn’t.
Congratulations, Amber and Greg!

Thanks LeAnn! Have fun calling him a name he’s not going to respond to— but it’s up to you.
There’s another picture on our blog; I’ll post more tomorrow— still recovering and all…
We love you guys!
Maybe, I’ll call him Jay then. At least that’s closer to Jared…. No, I think I’ll stick with Walker. I think that’s a cute name!
