Justin James Wilcox Arrives!

Very little Justin James Wilcox has arrived! The firstborn son of AJ & Jessica, Baby JJ arrived on the scene nearly 3 weeks early! After some early breathing problems and a couple of days in the NICU, Baby JJ improved quickly and was able to leave the hospital with his Mom, right on time! Both Mom and Baby are doing fine!

Mama Yahwee and Papa Wob are both delighted to have another grandchild and our first grandson. We are thrilled that his health has improved and he is home in his own room! There are pictures on the Wilcox' blog, so go there to see this cute little dude. He was only 5lb 8oz and 18 in long, but knowing his Dad, I'll bet he grows up to be bigger than I am!

At times like this past weekend, it is hard to be 600 miles away from where the action is happening. We wanted to be there! News from Orem Community Hospital just wasn't coming fast enough. For us in the desert, it was a humbling lesson in patience! Laurie will go and spend about 11 days starting July 25, her birthday. What a wonderful birthday present for a new grandma, the chance to hold a brand-new descendant!
