Grand baby #4 has arrived!

Brandon (son of Rachel and Brandon) was born 6 weeks early today at 7:49 pm. He weighs 4.68 lbs and is 18 in. long. He is in the ICU right now. We will find out tomorrow how long they plan on keeping him there. Brandon is a very wiggly baby and seems to be doing well, he has more hair than Imogen, little Martin, and Lyla combined.   I will post some more pictures tomorrow when I get them.

p.s. this is Shannon posting for my Mom again, she is at the hospital.

Little Brandon is doing great so far! He was actually 7 1/2 weeks early, but right now their best guess is at least 2 weeks in the hospital. Everything is fine with him except his lungs are a little premature, and they want to make sure he can function well enough on his own before he comes home. I'm doing great though, and we're going to go visit him and take more pictures today. We'll keep everyone posted!

Thanks for posting for me Shannon!
Brandon is so very sweet. It is hard to believe how each grandchild is so precious to us. We were so worried on the way to the hospital when Rachel's water broke and we knew Brandon was on his way. When his Daddy texted us to let us know he was born and everything looked pretty good we got very emotional. It is such a joy to welcome each grandchild!
