It’s nearly impossible to capture anything coming close to the birth of your child in a silly post, but wanted to capture the photos of the day.

Jude was born April 5th, 2023. Some highlights I recall:

• As always, Maureen being amazing
• The birth was induced, as Jude was past his due date
• The labor lasted about 5 minutes once it started- the little guy was ready for the world!
• The feeling of holding Jude for the first time was different than Odin. With your first, you can’t possibly understand the signficance of what you just stepped into. However, when holding Jude the first time, I was able to immediately understand what this meant and the joy (and terror) to come.
