Baby Max is here!

Well, our 9.4 pound little bundle of joy has arrived. He made his debut on 09/09/09 at 9:22 am and was 21.5 inches long. He had a few health issues and stayed in the NICU for 4 days, but we are all home now. My delivery wasn't too bad. In fact, I was texting people to keep them up with what was happening. The texts went like this:
8:09 am "I just got the epidural, and I am 6 centimeters, should happen sometime this morning".
8:57 am "I am 9 centimeters"
9:40 am "He is here!"

Here are some pictures, because I hear someone begging to be fed!

jackson gets the news...part 2

Here is Jackson again, trying to understand about the new baby. Little did we know at the time that he was right about his prediction that it was a boy. He just cant seem to "wrap his mind" around the fact that the baby in the sonogram is not him or his brother. Now he seems pretty thrilled about it all.


The plan is to have this little boy, Max, in 3 days on Wednesday, 09/09/09. Wish me luck. My blog widget is off by four days, so we are really only having him about 8 days early. But if you were as uncomfortable as me, you'd wonder how I made it this long.

I am looking forward to this next step in our lives and wondering just how great it is gonna be.

Is Jackson ready to be a big brother...again?

I have been trying to upload this video for months. I think it finally worked!! I'm so happy. I took this video when I was about 12 weeks pregnant and we were telling Jackson. I think Jackson's reaction is pretty funny. But the friends I have showed it to, think Shaun if funny too. Let me know if you laughed.
