Jude!




First pic is Jude and I at about an hour and a half after birth, and the next two are this morning, after the transfusion and about 48 hours on ice. GNOME WARRIOR!

What a perfect amalgam of Jon and Amanda! He's proven himself to be a fighter already, and as a nanny I can promise you this kid is BUTCH. Welcome to the world, Jude - you're already kicking ass. God bless you guys. Xoxo.

Jude is absolutely adorable! He is one lucky little boy to have the coolest and most responsible parents I have ever met! We are thinking of you all! Deborah and Brian

Jon & Amanda, Jude is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for posting the pictures and sharing with us. He reminds me of our new baby Wyatt. Matt, Amy, Wyatt and Roger and I are sending you our love and sending baby Jude our strength. It is obvious Jude is a fighter and that God's healing hands are upon him! Take care and let us know if there is anything we can do.

All our love,
Rainy & Roger

Hey guys!

Your new little edition is just adorable. He really does look great, and I am praying for you that he continues to become more and more healthy - with 10 fingers and 10 toes!

Hey, Amanda and Jon, Jude is such a cute little one. He seems so big for a new born. Gonna be tall like his dad. Hope all 3 of you are doing good. It is so sweet of you to share like you have. Thanks for posting the pics. Hang in there. We love you all. Granny Jean and Aunt Lolita

What a beautiful baby boy, and what great news! I've been praying for him and for you since I first read your labor-blog. I'm sure you two can testify to the truth of this quote from Katherine Hadley:

"The decision to have a child is to accept that your heart will forever walk about outside your body."

Best wishes and prayers, from one of Brendan's elementary school teachers,
