Hey Jude

Well, hi!  11 days ago we welcomed our son, Jude Rhodes!  It was a fast and furious labour: 4 hours from the, "Ow!  These contractions are actually 5 minutes apart, I think this is it!" to the moment he was born.  It has been quite the week and a half and we are positively smitten with this dear boy.  We have stories to share of these precious first few days with him as a family of 4 but first, this mama needs some lunch.  Our bodies are oh so weary, but our hearts are overflowing.  What a ride.  What a sweet, sweet ride.  More soon!

"So let it out and let it in, hey Jude begin..."
