Linden gave birth to Jude Alexander Cornett, born August 22 at 10:52pm. He burst into this world with personality and charm. Linden delivered him after 9 hours of active labor at 8 minutes of pushing. A miracle!
Linden had the baby through natural childbirth, a surprise to us both! She was very strong and very beautiful through the whole process. The doctor and nurses were amazed to see the baby come out so quickly!
When I saw him, I felt like it was an out-of-body experience. Even now, several days later, I have pushed away the feelings that come from watching your own child come into the world. Tests and general procedures took up most of Friday evening. We elected to stay 3 full days in the hospital to talk with the nurses about child care, diaper changing, and best practices.
Today we brought him home to our house. Welcome home, baby Jude! You will be well loved.
I'm sure that we will follow this post with thousands of new parent gushing. Please bear with us. We love him more than we thought was possible.
