Unexpected arrival!

Announcing a bit late, but our [name_f]April[/name_f] baby came [name_f]December[/name_f] 27th at only 22 weeks! His name is [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and we’ve been calling him [name_f]Mali[/name_f]. He will be 12 weeks tomorrow (34 weeks adjusted gestational age) and had a rough go at the start, but now is thriving and growing. We hope to take him home from the NICU soon!
