Hello World, My Name Is Jackson!

I was born on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 2:55AM at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, Texas. At birth, I weighed 8lbs 15.4 ounces, and was 20 1/2 inches long. My hair is brown (which I get from my daddy) and my eyes are blue. I have big hands and feet like my mommy.

Living in Houston is not too bad - warm like my mommy's belly. Most of the time I sleep and eat and sleep and eat some more.

I have had many vistors stop by to meet me. Grandma, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Kerrie, Cousin Hayden, Tyler and Penny, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Anna and Uncle Kevin, Aunt Joy and Uncle Jeff, the neighbors and gosh, a ton of people. What was really cool was when I got to see my grandpa in the computer at the hospital. Something about a web-cam, I think.

Well, time for a nap. Talk to you soon!

It's Almost Time

Today mommy is 38 weeks pregnant. I now weigh just over 7.5lbs. Mom and dad are very proud of me because I've been such a good and healthy baby so far. I'm making my way to the birth canal and can't wait for my parents to hold and play with me! My due date is scheduled for July 21st - which is daddy's birthday. Dad says it's OK if I'm born on his birthday because he has had enough of them already. Daddy's funny.

Mommy's co-workers threw her a surprise baby shower today. Now I'm bouncing around mommy's belly enjoying the sugar from the cake and punch. Mom has such nice friends and co-workers.
