Okur Family Welcomes New Arrival

Congratulations to Mehmet Okur and his wife Yeliz on the arrival of their son Yigit. I smile every time I hear Memo talk about his family, you can tell he’s crazy about them.

From memo13.com:

Mehmet Okur is at the St Marks Hospital with his wife Yeliz, daughter Melisa and new born baby boy Yigit Mehmet and his close family from Turkey who arrived in Salt Lake City for the birth of their newest member.  Dr. Jennifer Kinghorn brought Yigit Mehmet to the world on February 19th at 01:04 in the morning.  The newest Okur weighed 8 pounds and 2 ounces, and was 21.5 inches tall at birth.
