INTRODUCING!!!!

Mr. Jay Allan DeYoung

Jay finally decided to enter the world 10 days late via c-section on Wednesday, April 30th. There were some concerns that came up Monday and Tuesday that turned into a scheduled c-section for Wednesday. He arrived at 12:46pm, weighing in at... are you sitting down?... 10 lbs 14 oz! He is so healthy and Mommy and Daddy are doing great and are sooo in love with this precious blessing of a little man. Praise Jesus for a healthy baby boy!

The last picture of Jay before he came out... How the heck did he fit??

And introducing Nanny Kiya who wants to attend to baby Jay's every need.
