Send up Judah!
We had our baby! July 22nd at 7 in the morning Erin gave birth to Judah Brennan Batstone, after about 12 hours of labor. No C-section! He was 7 lbs 4 oz, and 20 in. long. He started eating right away and slept soon afterward. He's been doing a combination of the two ever since. He is a genius. Just like his father. He is also extremely good looking like his father. Ella is excited, "I'm being a big sister, RIGHT NOW!" she said, when we walked in the door.
Judah means praise or thanksgiving, and we are very thankful for this baby.
Brennan means "smelly hair" and has some other better meanings, and it is my Grandfather's name which we really liked.
Okay, I'll shut up. Here are some pics. First Pic of Judah, ever.
We think his eyes are lighter than Ella's.
At the hospital.
We are taking votes for nicknames. We like Judah by itself, but we are also batting around: Baby J, Jude, JB, Jew, or just duh. What do you think?

I vote for duh... YEAH CONGRATS!! He's a handsome little boy, right out of the cooker. Welcome to the world little duh!
You could call him "Jody", that was the little boy's name in Steinbeck's "The Red Pony". But Kimberly points out that this would be like naming him "Sue". He'll be tough though.

congratuations again! you guys are funny. i liked duh too. :)
wonderful news!! he's just adorable and seems to be quite content with so much love surrounding him... and while Duh is quite humorous and certain to get a giggle everytime you say it (oh i just love it!), i think Jude might have longer lasting qualities ;-)
congratulations!!
Congratulations! And Hey, Jude!
Definitely "duh". That's a winner! You can't use Baby J cuz that's Selah's nickname--from the Joy. He's a cutie! Well done! And well done Erin--get lots of rest lady and we're praying for all 4 of you!
It is customary in Compton that all residents have double-nicknames ie. Day-Day, Tee-Tee, Ray-Ray. Therefore I must write in a nomination for Ju-Ju!
Congrats and God bless.

Definitely JB. all about the initials! less mocking potential, if you ask me :).
Congrats!!!!!
Congratulations on Baby Judah's arrival! So glad you didn't have to have the c-section this time! He's beautiful! What a wonderful family you have!
Beautiful baby! Though I like "duh" I think Jude is the best option. Maybe you can call him Duh at home. Hee-Hee
Congratulations! He is beautiful!
