Introducing Auden!



Introducing Auden Taylor DuBord,
born 10.24.2008 at 1:42 am,
9 lbs 4 ozs and 20 inches.

Jen started feeling contractions at 10:00, we dropped off
Simone and the dog, crossed the border, and we were at the
hospital by 11:00. Jen was already 7 cm dilated and gave
birth 3 hours later, just before 2:00 am.

Dr. Sanchez, the pediatrician on call at the hospital, said
that we had a very healthy boy whose only problem might
be that he is a little too big; Jen concurs. It begs the question,
how do two small people like us get off having this chunker?


Moments after birth...

We thought that we had really chosen a unique
name, at least based on the number of times
we have spelled it, but Jen's aunt Phyllis
added Auden to the electronic family tree and found that
there was an Auden Taylor DuBord born in Connecticut in 1963.




Simone has taken surprisingly well to Auden
and seems to be have accepted him as a permanent
member of our family. She keeps pointing at him
and saying "BABY, BABY!".

Hooray! Congratulations to the DuBord family.

Is Auden pronounced ay-den, ow-den, ah-den?

For all those interested, Auden is pronounced ah-den. We will be spelling and pronouncing it a lot for people, I think, based on the last week!
