Mom and baby are doing well. Jude is in the NICU right now because he made an early debut. He is breathing on his own, which is a blessing! Let's all pray that he continues to develop and can come home soon. His hair is really something to behold. He looks like he has the same hair dresser as Lars. It's white-blond and curly. Too cute!!! I think he looks like Jacob although these pictures don't really show it. Christina will likely go home on Wednesday.

Congratulations, Christina & Phil and all of the DeGruys.
Congratulations on Jude!!! I'd heard there was the probability of an early debut but am glad he seems to be doing well so far. Hope he plumps up fast and is home soon.
I don't know how that can be that he looks so perfect for being so early. I can't wait to get a closer look.
Welcome to the family, Jude.
Congrats, Phil & Christina, and big brothers - Jacob and Jackson.
I rushed home from work to see if there were pictures yet. He is beautiful! His hands look very large in the 2nd picture. It must be the angle the picture was taken. Congratulations Doots, Phil, Jackson and Jacob. I know you all are happy and relieved the baby is healthy. Can't wait to see him next month!

Congratulations on the arrival of Baby Jude!!! He is absolutely beautiful. He looks just perfect - maybe a little impatient - but just perfect!!!
Sue-
His hands and feet are both pretty big. I told Christina his feet look like scuba fins. I can't wait to put him in the tub and see if they work!
He is really doing well, the doctor used him as an exhibit with med students during rounds. He is "surpassing benchmarks", 32 weeks and no need for oxygen, he has eaten three times today with success and doing very, very well!
Thanks everyone,
Phil
Wow, how exciting for all of you! I'm so happy that little Jude is doing well as is his Mommy. I think he looks like Janine in the first picture. Congrats to the entire family!
Welcome Jude!
Congratulations Christina and Phil.
God willing, Jude will have a happy and healthy life providing you with endless joy and memories.
