Just one day after Mike's birthday and one day shy of Valentine's Day our little guy decided it would be a good day for a birthday! Jalen Michael was born today at 12:26 weighing in at 5lbs. 8 oz. , 18 inches long. He made a speedy arrival as we arrived at Strong around 8 a.m., after a fun rush hour traffic drive and a little more than 4 hours later we had him in our arms. He is being monitored for low blood sugar and body temperature regulation, both are common with 36 weekers, but for now they have kept him in room and not taken him to the special care nursery. We are hoping to be discharged on Wednesday! This has been a completely different experience, filled with happy tears and all the "firsts" we never really had with Haley. Below are some pictures that captured some of these moments.
