Jude

We had an ultrasound done on Jude's kidney because at birth his right kidney was slightly enlarged, which could indicate any number if issues. Thankfully, I just heard back from the pediatric nurse that his kidneys look great. They are the same size now and there are no signs of infection or other problems.

Sorry it's been awhile, I couldn't find my camera cable.

Hey, Jude

Yes, we know it's in a Beatles' song. No, that's not why we chose the name. But it's a great song.
And now, you will all have this Beatles song in your heads for the rest of the day. (Scroll down for more about Jude.)

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it
cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude,
you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude... 

Jude is 6lbs 3oz and almost 20" long as of last Monday; his first
pediatrician visit went well. One of his kidneys was slightly
dilated/enlarged at birth, so we are doing an untrasound in a few weeks
to determine if this problem corrects itself as his pediatrician thinks
it will. He is healthy and happy and we are all enjoying him.
