Jackson David is here!



On December 20, 2007 at 7:35am our little bundle of joy, Jackson David Meyers was born at Meriter Hospital in Madison, WI. He weighed in at 8lbs and was 21 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well after 17 hours of labor and ending with a c-section. Jackson's head was sunny-side-up and according to our doctor, only 5% of women's pelvis's are built to deliver a baby that way. We fell in love with him right away and can hardly believe that our little guy is already 7 weeks old. He's already very alert - constantly staring at you with his big eyes. He's a very vigorous eater and sometimes gets himself so worked up when food is available that he almost chokes on it. He's also just starting to realize that he has hands so he's been using them to touch his face and push your arms away if he doesn't want something you're giving him. We love his little smiles (he's especially happy just after waking up from a nap and then his joy turns to anger because he wants some food right now!) and the other cooing sounds he makes. Parenting has been awesome - Dave and I could just stare at him for hours and not get bored. Plus, he gets funnier all the time.
