“I want him to know that we love him. H\e’s a representation of our bond, our charisma and everything we share plus more,” said Jordan Ward.

Kishana Watson gave birth to her third child, Joshua, at St. Mary’s Medical Center at 3:52 a.m.

“He was due on the 28^th [of December]. I was looking out for a Christmas baby instead of New Year’s baby,” said Kishana Watson.
Watson is entering her new year with wisdom.

“I’m just going to take it step by step. Whatever happens I will just face it and conquer it. You’ve got to have courage, you have to have strength and you will overcome it,” Watson added.
