Jordan and Elijah said the staff at the hospital were fantastic.

Emerson was a few days early, originally due on Jan. 3, but both parents said everything worked out for the best.

They said they were surprised and delighted that Emerson was the New Year’s baby.

“Luckily he came out right at 12:02 and we were really happy,” Elijah said.

Jordan said she is feeling well but Emerson did spend some time in the NICU due to low blood sugar levels but overall he is healthy.

“We have a lot of help from our families and from his sisters, who all have kids, so we’ve leaned on them a little bit and trying to be the best prepared as we can,” Jordan said.
