Jebby was counting Johnny's Push Ups!!! Jeb wasn't too impressed with a measly three...

  

But Johnny Exhausted himself...

John Thomas Monroe has Arrived!!!

   John Thomas Monroe's much awaited debut was December 16, 2014! He was 8lbs and 12oz!! A Big little fella had to spend a couple days in the NICU for lung issues but is perfectly healthy now!!

After two days in the NICU, I got an extension on my hospital stay to do one night room-in with John Thomas before they sent us home! The Big Brothers were Super Excited to finally meet their little brother!!

  After day 3 in the Hospital we were allowed to go home with Our Newest Little Ballard Boy...
