Welcome to the world... Elias Julian Ekern!

We have finally settled on a name for our little one... Elias (pronounced e-LIE-us) Julian Ekern! Since the day we layed eyes on him, we thought he looked like a kid that needed a name that started with an "E". Mom loves Elias, and Dad loves Eli... So everybody is happy! His middle name is given to him after his Great Grandpa Julian Ekern.

Little Eli and Mom are doing great... The only minor problem was his low blood sugar, but they hooked him up to an I.V. with sugar water (you can see the wrap around his hand in one of the pictures) and he is starting to overcome this problem. He should be fine! The nurses are taking excellent care of Eli and Mom (and Dad) and we're hoping everybody can come home soon!

Here are some more pictures of the little peanut...
