Welcome to the World Baby Akmese!

We welcomed our baby boy into the world on Tuesday, April 28th at twenty minutes past midnight! He was a hearty 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches in length.

We named him Elias Wayne Akmese. Deniz' grandfather on his father's side was named Ilyas so we went with the more American version of Elias (we call him Eli) and My grandfather on my mother's side was named Edward Wayne but went by Wayne. It was so hard to pick a name! We were set on Jacob until we saw him and both thought he didn't look like a Jake. It took us a few days (and pressure from the birth certificate people!) but Deniz and I finally found the perfect name!!

He's a beauty, check out some of his first photos below and at this link:
