Hey Jude!

Well, our new son is here! Jude Russell Allen was born at 8:25 AM on Wednesday, July 29. He weighed in at 7 lb 14 oz.

We're thankful to see that Jude is a healthy little boy. All of the tests have gone well. Because of Jackson's heart condition, the doctors performed an echocardiogram for Jude and his heart looks great. He's breathing well, his heart beats strongly, and we're very happy.

Juliette had a planned c-section this time and it was night and day compared to our experience with Jackson. The operating room was clam and quiet. In fact, we were wondering if it had started when we heard "we see a head". Juliette has recovered well and started walking the halls yesterday. She's moving around slowly on her own now and we're planning to go back home tomorrow.
