Welcome Jansen Isaiah Watkins!!

We are so absolutely thrilled to introduce to the world our precious baby boy! His name is Jansen Isaiah and he was born at 2:15 am Sunday morning. He weighed in at a whopping 9lbs, 1 ounce (YIKES!) and is doing fantastic. He and mommy are both very healthy and doing well. It is a joy that is indescribable. Oh my oh my I want to share with everyone every picture I've got (approaching a 100 of them already!) and we cannot wait to introduce him to you!! Thank you for all your prayers and support!!!
