Hyde Maxwell

My brother Jerod stood idly by while his wife, Anne Frederickson, pushed this 7 pound 9 ounce rat through the tunnel of life. After a 21-hour struggle, Hyde Maxwell Parkinson took his first breath of sterilized hospital air on Nov. 23, 2004, at 11:02 p.m. EST.
I have 26 nieces and nephews from AnnMarie’s fam damily (she’s the youngest of nine), but Hyde is the first nephew from the knotted branches of the Parkinson's side of the family tree.

(I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture of the bed wetter as well, so stay tuned.)
