Jackson!

Surprise - we had our baby! Little Jackson Noah was born 3.17 at 4:04pm 7lb
1 oz 22 inches...
few fun facts over the last 4 weeks...

1) J went to doctors 6 times in first 11 days of life because of dropping weight!
2) we discovered the joy of wubbanubs (wubbanub.com) - jackson has the red dog
3) Labor was 23 hrs and 20 stitches (ahh!) but luckily he came out healthy and ready to party
4) For the first week - frank and I took photos every 5 minutes ha
5) Frank has been gone last week to Boston and is gone this week in Cleveland...I have a whole new respect for single moms! I can't wait for him to get home Sunday finally!!!
6) Jackson is already just growing...he's a whopping 7 1/2 lbs...(give him credit, he lost a lot---too much-- at first)
7) We now watch really dorky shows like wheel of fortune and price is right
8) If you have a baby Shannon and Carrie make you AMAZING meals so it's not a bad side affect
9) My mom is currently rocking Jackson and looks so happy :) aweee -- she's staying the night
10) It's amazing how fast you can shower when you are waiting for the baby to start screaming in their bouncy seat
11) Despite walking 4-5 miles a day I still don't dare try on my real pants yet
12) Still crazy to realize we are our own little family
13) Below is the most recent video I made for Frank while he's away... *since most people have seen the photos on facebook*

Yes, I did spend all of yesterday thinking it was the 17th. Someone corrected me this morning when I wrote 4/18/09 on something. So pretend I typed that birthday note today!
