Introducing Jonas Robert Young!

And then there were three...plus one! Here's what happened on the night/early morning we met him:

4/7/18, 9:05 pm: Jaimie's water breaks, 2.5 weeks early (Jonas was due 4/24)
4/7/18, 9:06 pm: Jaimie freaks out and enters a state of shock
4/7/18, 9:15 pm: Jaimie and Jonathan rush around the house to pack bags while trying to calmly update Josie that her life is about to change forever
4/7/18, 10:05 pm: Jaimie and Jonathan arrive at the hospital
4/7/18, 10:07 pm: Jonathan complains Jaimie's feet stink and tries to cover up the alleged stench with foot powder as he was concerned for the doctor's welfare 
4/7/18, 10:08 pm: Jaimie gets mad at Jonathan and insists her feet smell FINE
4/7/18, 10:09 pm-4/8/18, 5:36 am: Lots of other things happen, Jaimie eats many cups of Jello
4/8/18, 5:37 am: Jonas is born, but not named
4/9/18, 12:00 pm: Jaimie and Jonathan FINALLY decide on a name for their sweet babe

Jonathan and I proudly present our tiny FINAL addition: Jonas Robert Young. Jonas was named after his Papa, paternal grandfather Robert. He was an eager beaver, surprising us 2.5 weeks early. Thankfully everyone is healthy and doing just fine, albeit wildly sleep deprived.

Jonas' birthday stats: 7 lbs, 2 oz, 21 inches; born April 8, 2018 at 5:37 am; newborn in clothing (a size his sister leapfrogged), size N diapers 

And one month later: estimated 12 lbs, still 21 inches, size 0-3 months in clothing, size 1 diapers

         

His tricks and language are pretty limited right now, although he is fairly strong and can lift his head as well as intentionally move a toy in his jungle. He is also EXCELLENT at staying up all night long. Like potential gold medal excellence.

Josie has been wonderful with Jonas and has earned MANY special treats as a result.

                                           

Jonas has met several other key stakeholders in his life including both sets of grandparents.

Grammy and Grampy from Florida came last week to meet him and help us.

In addition to baby snuggles (pictured above), Grammy also contributed home decor. She made the cool letters for above his crib and painted an adorable llama landscape. Hopefully the next blog will feature a tour of the nursery.

Grandma and Papa from Texas by way of California are at our house almost daily. Grandma has been taking care of Josie and periodically keeping Jaimie sane with daytime walks and Jonas care.

Since then baby Jonas has met many family friends and other family members. 

Here he is at his first brunch!

I've always said it but I truly believe it takes a village and we've been so thankful for all of the love and support we've received from ours.

Until next time!

Xoxo,

J Quad!
