All is well, and although he arrived early, he weighed 6 lbs., 1 oz. and is 19 inches long. He’s a handsome little guy with a lot of hair! Baby and Mama are doing well and went home on Tuesday. We will keep them in our prayers as Joanna recovers and they adjust to their new routine as a family of 3!
