On February 29, our family welcomed baby #3. Jude Aaron Jeffrey was born at 7:40 am and weighed a whopping 9 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. Needless to say, I am glad he was delivered c-section!! We came home on March 2 and have been adjusting to life with three kids.
I have been so blessed with a wonderful husband who has shouldered a lot of responsibility with Abby and Micah. The kids had a little trouble adjusting to Jude, so Josh has been giving them extra attention. In addition to this, Josh has also helped with all domestic duties, which is not his favorite thing to do.:) However, he has done it all without complaint. I hope that our children observe their father. I hope Micah and Jude treat their wives with the respect and love that Josh treats me and I hope Abby chooses a husband that models her father. We are all so blessed to have him in our life.
In addition to Josh's help, I am also blessed with fabulous friends and family. Mom has been a tremendous help. She came over every night tnhe first week to help with Abby and Micah. She also cleaned the house and cooked. My sister (Stephanie), sister-in-law (Pam), Jayna, Renita, and Jessica (great friends) have all helped to keep the family fed as well.
Abby and Micah LOVE their brother. They always want to know where he is and if they can hold him. Micah is constantly saying "I like my Jude."....then quickly follows that statement with "He's all of ours". Abby likes to mother him and help me with him. I am so glad that they are excited about him. Although it is hard to share mommy and daddy's attention with someone new, they have actually adjusted well.
My life is blessed beyond compare with my husband, kids, family, and friends. I am so excited to welcome another beautiful boy into our chaotic but fun and happy life. Welcome to the world Jude! You are loved more than you will ever know.
