Alexandra O. Hudson’s Post

He’s here! Our newest joy, our son, Sebastian John Pascal Hudson, made his grand entrance into the world at 5:03 a.m. on Wednesday, September 18, after a quick (but intense!) three-hour-and-forty-five-minute labor. He’s a healthy 20.5 inches long and weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz. We’ve cherished these quiet few weeks with our family. His big brother, Percival James, and big sister, Sophia Margaux, are absolutely over the moon for our Sebastian—our Baby Bash. 🤍
