MY NEPHEW has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!

After nearly twenty hours of labor, my sister Jeanine and her husband Josh became the proud parents of their baby boy Hudson James Russo. He arrived at 9:57pm CST weighing 7 lbs 11 oz. stretching to 22 inches tall.

Jeanine was induced at 3AM on Tuesday morning with very little progress. Throughout the day she was slow to dilate but eventually made it all the way. Due to being in labor for such a long period of time, Jeanine began running a fever. Once the nurse and doctor began examining Jeanine and getting Hudson to move around, it was just a few moments left before his grand entrance. The nurses explained this is a common thing when women are in labor for such a long time, but they watch it carefully because infection can set in.

The doctor asked them how they felt about forceps, and Jeanine and Josh were willing (I think just ready to have him out) so baby Hudson does have a little bit of a cone head for now, but naturally will go down.

Thanks to the power of technology I was able to meet my nephew for the first time over the Internet through a web cam and talk to the family and proud parents just shortly after the birth. "It was the second best thing to being there, and can not wait until I get to meet him in person."

Pictures are posted below of Jeanine and Josh introducing Hudson to their uncle Dillon for the first time last night. WHAT A BLESSING. Feel free to email them a congrats at jeaninerusso@cox.net
