Hello Liam!

June 2 and Liam Thomas Jones is now with us—what a wild ride it was! Courtney went in to have labor induced on June 1 in the wee hours of the morning, but nighttime she still hadn’t gone into labor. By the next morning, although there had been some progress she was still a ways from delivering and they wisely decided to have a C-section. Liam was born without incident, but his mother had an infection which landed her back in the hospital the next week. I stayed in Huntington for 4 days by myself in their apartment, helping when I could and coming to visit Liam and Courtney in the hospital. It was a tough time, but we’re tough people and we managed. Our reward is Liam who is the spitting image of his father and was a striking 21 inches long at birth!
