Introducing Jacob Nicholas, September 14th 2011

4 pounds 7 ounces, 17 and 3/4 inches

On 9/14/2011, Jacob Nicholas Berends was born. He was 7 weeks early and took us by surprise to say the least. We've created this blog so our family and friends can follow us by checking out photos, videos and narrative of our new journey with little Jake. Mom and baby are doing amazing and dad is on paternity leave through November.

We're so happy (and exhausted) with the new arrival and thank you for all your love and support.

Indian Summer in Chitown!
