Welcome . . .

Jude Owen Noble Jude has finally made his arrival after being 8 days overdue!
He was born at home on December 18th, 2010 at 9:26am.
He weighs 8lbs and is 21 inches long!
Much bigger than Ellie who was a mere 6lb 9oz and 19 inches.
My labor was much longer and tougher than I expected, probably because he was so big!!
But I'm so happy he's here, healthy and that I never have to do that again! ;)
Ellie has amazed me with how tender and sweet she has been to her new baby brother.
Here are a few pics.
Birth story and millions more photos to follow.
Ellie thought is was pretty cool that he was holding on to her finger.
All cozy after his first bath.
Student Midwife, Christine, and Midwife Extraordinaire, Val Having a home birth was the best experience! I was so supported and comfortable. He was born in our living room!!!
We've decided he really looks like Drew! Drew even shaved off his goatee this morning to find he has the same little cleft in his chin.
We're very, very thankful for grandparents right now!
