Chris and I had the most wonderful experience of our lives this past weekend- the birth of our son Jackson. What an amazing little miracle he is. The whole experience was life-changing and one we will never forget.
We are so blessed to have a healthy little baby boy.
Things I love about Jackson:
* I love his full head of soft, dark hair
* I love when he raises his eyebrows at me
* I love when he squeaks when he cries
* I love when he scrunches up and snuggles on my chest
Coming Home!
Wow, that was scary. We go into the hospital just me and Chris excited about what is happening. Then we spend two days with a wonderful nursing staff showing us what to do and how to do it. Then at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon they tell us "Your free to go home whenever you are ready..." Now, I was looking forward to going home and sleeping in my own bed (which still hasn't happened very much), but then we pack up this little 7 lb boy into his huge car seat and walk out to the truck-the three of us. It has been quite an adjustment, and we forgot to bring home the owner manual so we have to figure this all out on our own. I must say I think we are doing a pretty good job. Nana has been a huge help, too, we are very thankful that she is here spending the week with us. We are so incredibly happy to be home and are enjoying every minute as Mommy and Daddy.
