Adding a New Branch to the Family Tree

Today at 6:04 AM my daughter, Liz, and her husband, Roland,welcomed their second son into this world.  It was quite a surprise to all of us because she was only 32 weeks into her pregnancy.  She went to the hospital from work yesterday hoping that the contractions she was experiencing could be stopped.  After a few hours, it became apparent that we were going to have a baby.

Andrew Zoltan Varga
So let me introduce you to my second grandson, Andrew.  He was doing well enough at birth for his father to be able to take this picture within the first couple of minutes after his birth.  He weighed 4 pounds, 13.6 ounces and was about 16 1/2 inches long.  He was able to breathe on his own from the very beginning. The nurse assigned to him initially thought that his due date had been miscalculated as he was doing so well for a 32-week baby.

So we are feeling very blessed.  Hopefully, Andrew will continue to grow stronger and be able to join his Mom, Dad and big brother, Ian, at home.

He is a miracle!

    Welcome to the newest member of the family. He must have rushed a bit knowing what a grand clan he was joining. Congratulations and best wishes to Andrew and all who were waiting for his arrival.

    Congratulations! He looks great. I never would have known he was born at 32 weeks had you not said it.
