New Addition to the Family

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had a little boy yesterday. So I have another nephew, Sebastian. He was a month early so I was pretty shocked to hear he's here already. He's in the NICU so I can't hold him yet. He's not on the nursery net yet, so I'll link in an image later.

My brother's son, Will, is due in a month, hopefully he sticks it out. My mom is hoping he'll be born on her birthday, but he's due a few days before that.
