It’s a boy!

Constantine Jamesson Worden was born on 19 July 2010 at 10:58pm. He weighed a healthy 9lbs 4oz. (4.2kg) and was 21 inches (53.3cm) long. Mother and son are both happy and healthy!
During her long labor the first song Shara needed to hear was Clare and The Reasons song, “You Got Time”. She played the song on repeat… for a looooooooong time. Other artists on the labor playlist were The Living Sisters, Led Zepplin, and Renee Fleming. The lyric’s from Tim Fite’s sing along song “Burn it down” were changed to “baby come on down down down, down down down, please come on down!” and finally after the midwife told Shara that she had to push like she really wanted that baby to come, she cranked Prince’s “The Beautiful Ones” and sang “I want you!!! baby baby baby I want you! Yes I do!”. After 24 hours of labor, Shara and her midwives peacefully came to the conclusion that her big boy needed to be delivered by c-section. After the delivery, the surgeon asked Shara if she had anything to sing and from the operating table came a happy, though quiet refrain of the Hallelujah chorus.
Baby Constantine’s favorite band is, of course, The Constantines.
Congrats!
“Inside a boy, I found the universe… and in his eyes are a thousand stars on a dark sky”
These words must have a whole new meaning to you now..
Congratulations, I’m very happy for you!

Such a beautiful kid! Congratulations, Shara! I hope he gives you much joy, after so much hard work!
Dear Shara, I will never forget the concert you gave, heavily ladden (with this baby boy) at the opera house in Sydney Australia, and you moved so smooth, sang so beautiful, spoke so true. Sending you blessing and peacefulness in your journey as a mama.
I’m going to stop randomly googling soon. But I just wanted to send you my love (every single damn piece of it). I think Constantine will do amazing. In fact, I know it.
Thank you Shara. You’ve no idea how much.
Congratulations on a beautiful baby boy. This answers my question on why you haven’t toured the west coast after your fantastic tour with The Decemberists. Hopefully you’ll make it out to Seattle sometime in the coming year.
Best wishes for the holidays.
