Jett arrived in at 7lbs, 7ounces, and 20 and 1/2 inches. Of the delivery, he notes “Jenna was awesome, calm and collected the entire time. We checked in, stayed up all night and watched ‘Sports Center’ and ‘Friends,’ and listened to Mozart during the delivery.”
Stephen’s sister Rebekah, mom and brothers Brent and Andrew all stayed the night to greet Jett, and bandmate Eric Gunderson, his wife Emily and baby Camden are all on their way to meet Jett today. “They (Camden Gunderson and Jett) are gonna be best friends!”
“We can’t wait to take him home and for the whole world to meet him! He’s ready to start instagram-ing and tweeting right away,” joked Stephen.
As for who Baby Jett looks like? “He has Jenna’s lips and my nose.”
