Well, it seems as if my previous post was a little premature. Attached is my e-mail notification...
"On March 19, 2008, at 11:52 AM, Anders (Ahn-ders) Christian Jones was born. He weighs 6 lbs 13 oz and is 18 3/4 inches long. This was a little unexpected, as his official due date was April 17, but we had planned to bring him into the world on April 4, so he was a little early. He is a pretty cute kid, but we've had some additional unplanned outcomes. We learned shortly after birth, he most likely has downs syndrome. We will not know for certain until we receive the genetic testing, potentially as early as Monday. Soon after his birth, he (just to prove he can be just like his big sister) had a brief non-breathing spell, so he was admitted to the NICU. Fortunately, he is doing just fine now and may be able to come home with us on Saturday.
Kara is doing well and Anika is excited to be a big sister, yet slightly perturbed that she can't go into the NICU to see her baby brother.
All in all, it has been an experience of unknowns, but with unknowns come surprises, and last time I checked, most surprises can be a good thing."

Congrats on the birth of your little guy!
Kayla was also 6 lbs 13 oz and she was 18 1/4 inches- too funny :)
I hope he's doing well and you're settling into life with a newborn at home.
Thanks for your comment on my blog; sorry I didn't get a chance to comment sooner - life with an infant in the house cuts down on the computer time! :)
