We love to read our daughters' blogs. They actually help us keep up with them, and the pictures are fun--we can go back to them whenever we want. And the best part is seeing our granddaughter, Anna-Jane, who lives far away in Colorado. Between the web-cam visits and blogs, we feel a bit closer than just by phone. So, since we enjoy their blogs, we've decided to try blogging, too.

Judah arrives Nov 14, 2009

Although Bree and I woke up b/c she was having contractions, they slowed down so we celebrated a bit of Anna-Jane's birthday with her new kitchen.

The midwife and assistant Dawn came, left for breakfast, then came back. About 11:45 am, labor got much more intense, and Robin and I took turns keeping Anna-Jane occupied. Bree got in the pool around 12:30, and he was born at 1:30pm.
Anna-Jane got to be in the room during his birth and was so excited to see him, saying "Baby, good baby! Baby Judah!" Then she took all her clothes off to try and get in the pool with Mom, but I took her off for a nap. The whole day kinda overwhelmed her--can't imagine why--sharing your birthday with a new brother! Here is Judah Benton Leonard.
Dotti brought him to Bree and Kyle's bedroom; Anna-Jane woke up and got to meet him.
And, like exactly 2 years ago, it snowed on the birth-day. You can see it outside the window.
Bibi and Judah
Judah weighed 9 lb 5 oz, and is 21 inches long with a BIG head--over 15 in. in circumference! He's a sweetie--slept 5 1/2 hrs the first night, and 6 1/2 hr last night. We are so thrilled! Thank you, Lord!
