More on Henry Folsom Frazer

Henry Folsom Frazer is my third grandson and my fourth grandchild. 

His arrival, six weeks premature, taught me that no matter how many grandchildren I have, each one is special and loved equally with those who came before him. 

Little Henry's arrival gave us a couple of sleepless nights.  But today he is thriving, just like his cousins.  And, we are all mighty grateful for that and for him. 

By his original due date, completely meaningless of course, he should be about three weeks old.  In fact, Henry arrived on March 29. 

Forgive me for sharing these photos.  I'm so proud of him and so glad he is doing so well. 

We've been working on my traditional granddad bonding thing (including plenty of grunts and growls and lectures on the superiority of the New York Yankees). . .seems to be working right well!

Below you can see me and the whole crew, little Henry and big cousin, Wyatt, who has taking an amazing and delightful shine to his youngest cousin.

So, today at about 4:00 p.m., Henry Folsom Frazer entered our world! 

The little fellow decided to arrive a bit early. . .5 weeks early to be precise!  And that caused a bit of a stir for everyone involved, especially Mom, Dad and Brother, Owen. 

He weighed in at 5 pounds 9.5 ounces and measured a rather long 19 inches.  Huge hands and feet like his big brother.  Lots of dark brown hair and, to quote a nurse "a rather calm disposition." 

He will remain in the little folks ICU for a few days to make certain his lung capacity and eating habits are well in order. 

We are so grateful that he is here.  I can't wait to be able to hold him.

Joanna, the mom here, is doing great!  And, Jordan is doing well as the very relieved father. 

Thankfully, our children have good health insurance, something everyone in the nation deserves. 

Happy Birthday, little Henry!  I'll enjoy my granddad "bonding" ritual real soon.  We're so glad to have you on the journey!
