Kennedy, Wife Head Home From NJ With New Baby

Former Rhode Island U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy and his wife, Amy Petitgout, have left the hospital for home with the newest addition to the family.

Kennedy and Petitgout left a Pomona  medical center Tuesday morning with Owen Patrick Kennedy, who was born on Sunday at 5:30 p.m., weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces.

Patrick Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, married Petitgout in July. Petitgout is a middle school teacher from Brigantine and has a young daughter, Harper, from a previous marriage. Harper accompanied the family as well.

The Arc of Atlantic County, which serves people with Down syndrome, presented Owen with a one-piece outfit before his departure. Kennedy and Petitgout met at an Arc tribute dinner in 2010.
