Picking a baby name can be the easiest decision that you ever make as a parent if you've been drawn to a name for a while. Or it could be one of the hardest choices if you have no ideas and your partner isn't sure, either.

While Kate was a big fan of the name Genevieve, and of course that is the name that she and her husband chose, they didn't have the simplest time deciding on a baby name. She said Justin had "name-commitment issues."

6 6. She Gets Real About Post-Partum Hormones

Kate Upton appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and got real about the hormonal changes that she has been dealing with since giving birth to her baby girl. She said, “The hormones after pregnancy, for me, were crazier than when I was pregnant, and it took forever to calm down."

This is something that every new mother experiences, and it's really important that she's having a conversation about it. It's especially great that she and another famous mom, Kelly Clarkson, are using their platform to have the discussion.

5 5. She Doesn't Pressure Herself

As soon as a celebrity gives birth, it seems like people are immediately wondering about one thing: when will they lose the baby weight?

This is really a shame as it puts so much pressure on new moms when they're already dealing with so many things, from not sleeping enough to breastfeeding to figuring out their new life. Kate Upton is awesome because she doesn't put pressure on herself. As she wrote in an Instagram post, "Getting in a little cardio with a family beach walk. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you I’ve been working out and eating healthy. It’s so hard over the holidays. Traveling and enjoying time with my family! I’m trying not to get down on myself. Instead use it as motivation to get right back at it!"

4 4. She Celebrated Mother's Day In Style

When Mother's Day came around this past spring, Kate Upton was celebrating the holiday for the first time. What did she do?

According to People, she and her husband went out for dinner after she hung out with her sister, which is so sweet. She said, "My sister gave birth to a little girl, as well, three weeks after me, so we’re spending Mother’s Day together. At the end of Mother’s Day, I’m going to meet [husband Justin Verlander] up in Detroit and we’re going to have a nice dinner.”

3 3. She Brings Her Baby To See Her Husband Play Baseball

Since Kate's husband is a famous baseball player, it makes sense that she would bring Genevieve to games to see her dad play. When she brought her to see the Houston Astros play in Game 4 of the World Series, she even dressed Genevieve in a tiny jean jacket that said "Verlander" across the back.

Kate Upton often talks about her exercise routine, and so of course, people are wondering what she's doing and how she's fitting that in after having her baby girl.

When she was on the cover of Health magazine, she shared that she exercises from home. This is often a great way for new mothers to fit in that movement since it can be really tough to find the time to leave the house and head to the gym or a workout class, not to mention finding childcare and working around an already busy schedule.

1 1. She Forgets The Scale
