I’m pretty behind on blog posts. Because, um, three months ago this happened:

Leif Alexander Carlson Wilhelm was born on July 13, 2015, weighing 6lb 3oz and measuring 19.25in long*. He made a surprise arrival exactly one month ahead of his due date (causing us to miss, among other things, our own baby shower!). He spent the first 8 days of his life in the NICU at Comer Children’s Hospital but since coming home with us has been healthy and growing quickly.

* why ARE babies measured in long, instead of tall?
