My name is Jonas
Jonas Kaito Hegge arrived early Thursday afternoon weighing in at 3.34 kg and 52 cm tall, much larger than predicted by our many ultrasound visits. Born happy and healthy despite a rather stressful incident near the end of delivery involving his neck and the umbilical cord (five million years of human evolution, you'd think we could have worked this one out). Masako and Jonas came home last night from the hospital and Frankie is absolutely in love with her little brother, as are we all.
Huge congratulations Mark & Masako! Happy to hear that you are all well and healthy and that Frankie has a little brother to torment. I love the name. Another member born into the most photogenic family that ever lived. ;)

I have been waiting for this!!! 3.34kg sounds big especially for Masako`s small hips but i am glad to hear mother and child are both healthy.

Mark and Masako, Congratulations.
I second Martine's comments about the completely photogenic aspect of your fine family. Perhaps a new word could be used- "Photogenetics"?
