Taking to Instagram, Jana shared the first heartwarming photos of Roman, capturing moments during and after his birth.

They also shared the significance behind their son’s name. "The name Roman really isn't inspired by anyone, it's just a strong name that we both love, but James (his middle name) was both of our Grandpa's names, so that was a nod to them," they explained.
