Jude Maxwell Jenner achieved the special honour of being the first baby born in Mackay for 2024 when he arrived on 2nd January, five days after his due date of December 28.
While his older sister Tatum, who is two and a half, was a little disappointed he wasn’t a girl, parents Kellen and Tori are thrilled with their new arrival and feeling much more relaxed the second time round.
“My waters broke prematurely a few days ago, so I needed antibiotics to guard against infection and needed to birth in the maternity unit for that reason,” Tori said.
“I was due to come in today for an induction, but labour started last night, and we came in to the hospital about 2am.”
Jude Maxwell arrived soon after at 6.09am weighing 3600g (7lb 9oz).
Tori was grateful for the care of her Mackay Birth Centre midwives.
“My midwife Julie was on leave, so I had Marion looking after me,” Tori said.
“But Julie came in for the last two hours to be with me, so I had care from both midwives, and they were wonderful.”
Welcome to the world little Jude Maxwell and congratulations to the Jenner family of Walkerston!
