Charlotte Martin welcomes son; introducing Ronen Joseph
Singer/songwriter Charlotte Martin and her husband, producer/mixer/artist Ken Andrews, have welcomed their first child, a son, on Sunday, May 4th at 6:49 am. Ronen Joseph Andrews arrived a little late, as he was due the end of April, and weighed in at 8 lbs and 21 inches long. Below, Charlotte shares all the details — including the reason for would-be baby Max’s last-minute name change!
Well, he’s here. All 8 pounds and 21 inches of him. And we’ve changed his name. I had my closest family in the delivery room. It could not have been more perfect. After meeting him on Sunday, May 4th at 6:49 am, he was not Max. Strange to have been so certain he was Max for the last 9 months, even longer. We picked out the name before we even found out I was pregnant … but after looking at his sweet face and meeting him in person, we decided to name him Ronen Joseph Andrews.
RONENGender: Masculine derived from Hebrew(ron) meaning "song, joy"
We are in love, overwhelmed, and exhausted all at the same time.Thank you all for your support, prayers, cards, and messages throughout this journey. As many of you know, I miscarried May 2007 and recorded ‘Reproductions’ to help me deal with the loss. Even though I had to go through all that heartache and hell, I am grateful to have been blessed with the happiest of endings … little Ro.
I hope this encourages you. Whatever you’re going through, whatever losses you’re dealing with … hang on. It will all get brighter … just hang on.
SOO much love,Char xoxo

This is why I don’t get celebrities who annnounce the name months before the baby’s born. And now they have to explain to everyone that he is not Max (like all their fans will believe he is).
But, I’m glad they changed the name. I like Ronen much more than Max (a bit too popular for my taste).
