Buzzard Boy #2 is Born!
Yesterday, right when we got home from gathering with the church at our 11am service, right when we turned on the 49er game, Taylor’s water broke. It was just like in the movies: sudden, stunning, exciting.
Since the contractions weren’t bad yet, we watched our team score a touchdown or two, we made some calls, we finished our lunch, then we made it to the hospital down the street at 2:30pm.
Just over 3 hours later, at 5:56pm, Taylor was holding our new baby boy.
Labor went so smooth, so fast. Once Taylor was dialated to 9cm she got an epidural and then she stopped pinching me so hard.
As we looked at Hudson we thought about the tears from earlier this year and praised God for our son’s life. Then I held my son.
We named this little guy Hudson John Buzzard, naming him after Hudson Taylor, a man who had a profound impact on my life when I first read his biography 10 years ago.
It took a little while to get Hudson breathing properly, but that’s all under control now.
Hudson has a lot of hair, Strawberry Blonde hair like me. Hudson is also rockin’ the conehead look for the next few days. When I introduced my son Cru to his new brother Hudson, Cru said, “Hi baby brother.” You should’ve seen the look on Cru’s face when he met Hudson–a look of excitement, shock, and wonder all mixed into one.
My dad, mom, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew drove from Sacramento to be present for Hudson’s birth.
Huson John Buzzard STATISTICS:
Weight: 7 lbs. 4 oz.
Height: 20 in.
Future position: Strong Safety, or maybe Tight End
Congrats Buzzards! Cute kid…what a great blessing.
Here’s hoping that he becomes a QB or WR…that’s where the Niners really need some help.

Congratulaions on a beautiful – and growing – family! I don’t think it’s really that fair that Taylor looks better after just giving birth than most women look normally, but I’ll forgive it if Mike Martz can can put Hudson to good use.

Hudson looks like you. So now it’s even.
Let Joanna and I know if you guys have needs that we can help with. That includes baby sitting.
Justin, Taylor and Cru,
Congratulations and praise God for blessing your family with this precious gift of Hudson.
Thank you for displaying that “the deepest meaning of marriage–displaying the covenant love between Christ and the church–making children disciples of Jesus.
Good marriages make good places for children to grow up and see the glory of Christ’s covenant-keeping love.” May Cru and Hudson through the grace of our Lord love what they see in your marriage.
Congrats on baby boy #2. Try to focus for the next 6 weeks.
