One Week Old
I'm sure many more will follow.
My mommy prayed I'd have a sweet disposition and here it is.

Jude's First Bath
Jude Meets Grandparents Rotman
After six hours of seclusion in our birthroom with no cell phone coverage, we started calling our family with the good news of Jude's arrival. We found Sam and Deborah waiting in the lobby of the hospital. Auntie Sarah was so anxious for the news that she had already rescheduled her flight to come in from Washington first thing Friday morning. Uncle Simeon was thrilled to hear it was a boy named Judah.
A proud new dad makes the call to Santa Fe where Grandparents Helen and LeRoy were eagerly awaiting the news. Helen and LeRoy were overjoyed, to say the least. They look forward to making the trip to Houston soon to meet little Jude. Aunt Holly in Denver was estatic about becoming an aunt for the first time and said she was so excited for Jude to meet his cousins Cebo, Dacia and Danika. Uncle Conor in Washington, DC said he looked forward to making many memories with his new nephew.
Jude Arrives
At 7:50 pm, following nearly 20 hours of labor, Judah Rotman Sanchez made his debut. Almost all predicted a little girl, including our incredible midwife Titi. As you might imagine, mom and dad were pretty surprised when she was a little he.
Jude, as we call him for short, weighed in at 7 lbs., 6 oz. and is 19.5 inches. Thanks to the skillful coaching by midwife Titi, Dad caught Jude on his way out and put him on Mom's chest.
Our midwife Titi coached Anna to a smooth, all natural birth. Titi was raised and trained in the UK and was a wonderful blessing. Titi later said to one of her fellow midwives that Anna had one of the most beautiful births that she has witnessed in 23 years. This is not to say that birth was easy by any stretch. Bryan told everyone after that he had never seen such human strength. He's pretty impressed by his bride. He was very proud to administer oxygen to the breathless mommy during the final and arduous stages of pushing.
Grandparents Rotman Arrive in Houston
Sam and Deborah just off the plane. They received the call just after 5:00 am and made a 7:50 am flight. When Sam answered the phone, clearly in a deep slumber, Bryan said, "Sam, this is the call you've been waiting for."
Grandma and Grandpa Rotman arrive just in time to see Anna and Bryan off to the hospital. Anna had been in labor since 12:30 am and active labor since about 6:30 am. Anna was pretty uncomfortable in this photo.
