Jackson's Here!

Jackson Read Black was born Friday, November 14th at 1:45 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 20 inches long. We are so excited he is finally here and he really is a good baby. I am recovering a little slower than I'd like but such is life with a c-section. Everything went really well though-Jackson had to spend awhile in the nursery with breathing problems and I was going crazy wanting to see him-finally almost 8 hours later they brought him to me. Madison thinks he is cute but I still don't think she really comprehends it all. Unfortunately we have had to keep Jackson away from her since she was diagnosed with hand, mouth, foot disease the morning before he was born. She is healing though and gets really excited when she sees him-I think she is going to be great with him. Luckily Brian's mom, Jolynne is here and she is saving my life! Here are a couple pictures and I will try to put more up soon-I know these aren't the best!

Congratulations,
What a handsome son. It's amazing that you already have a family photo and every one looks perfect. How does that work. Isn't the mommy supposed to have a tummy for at least a week or so. Jami, you are beautiful. And so are the rest of you.

Jamie Smith said...

Congrats on the baby, but you look WAY TOO HAPPY to just have had a baby! I want whatever drugs you got! Maybe, it was that planned C-section! Now you don't have to worry about how you are going to have any more future babies!!! It was so great seeing you guys yesterday!

Jamie Smith said...

Wow, you have put a ton of pictures up since I was last here! I love all the fun things you have been up to, especially since I've gotten to be there too for most of them!
