Is it a Girl.... Is it a Boy?

It is a BOY!!

Austin Alexander has come into this world with a smile on his face and chic-chatting away. He was born at 4:29AM on Sat. August 16th. Just because Jennifer is a small girl does not mean she cannot delivery a BIG baby. He weighed 9 pounds and 4 ounces. With a height of 22.5inches. He is doing well but has a slight fever. He hung out with Mom and Dad for about fifteen minutes then he was sent to the NICU for a while until his temp. goes down and is given anti-biotics. Jennifer is doing GREAT!! She pushed for only 50 minutes before Austin was ready to show his face to the world!!

Pictures to come soon!!

Much Love and More Peace
Aunt Chelle

Jen & Drew:

HUGE congratulations to you!!! And a big welcome to Austin. I can't wait to meet him. I'm sending up lots of prayers that his temp comes down fast, and that all three of you have a smooth adjustment time.

Please, please, please let us know if there is anything you need.

Only 50 minutes, what a relief after that long wait. Hope you are getting some rest and enjoying your baby boy. Can't wait to meet him.
