Welcome to the World


After a long, long day, Jack William Collins was born at 4:58pm EDT. He weighed a whopping 9 pounds 2 ounces and measured 21 inches in length, suggesting that he’ll be an NFL star after he finishes his Economics PhD at Princeton.

Both mother and baby are doing well and safely resting for the evening. Jack has a healthy set of lungs and voracious appetite. Attached is a photo of Jack minutes after his entry into the world.

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes and messages of support.

CONGRATULATIONS! He looks just like Kelly. Now...is it too early to discuss the Midwife's projections of his size?

Have a wonderful time. Enjoy every second.

Jack and I are bonded by size. I was 9lbs 2oz when I was born! Congratulations. He is absolutely adorable! Hope everything went smoothly.
