Joe and I got to the hospital just as Sarah and Dave arrived. (Tom arrived a little later) Dave dropped Sarah off at emergency and I dropped Joe off at emergency so he could walk her to her floor. Dave parked his car and I parked my car. I was in the elevator heading up to the Maternity floor and saw Dave running down the hall. I held the elevator door for Dave and in minutes we were all together as it was confirmed that this was the time.
How does a person say what this moment is like? You wait and wait and wonder and wonder what this little baby is going to be like. We had seen the ultra sound pictures and video and this little baby had his own little presence before he even entered this world. Even in utero he had a peacefulness that could be seen and felt.
Grandpa, Joe and I waited with your daddy little baby until it was time for him to go be with mommy. And, it wasn't long until you were born! How very beautiful you were!
(Tom recorded gramma meeting baby for the first time)
Welcome to my world Jackson Toby!

He sure is perfect!!! I was mentally prepared to wait until the 23rd and was honestly surprised when my water broke! It all happened so fast! And it was totally worth it. Jackson Toby is just so wonderful! We are blessed!

Mom forwarded on the pics of your new grandson. How wonderful. Congrats to you all. :)
I also read a few pages in your blog... the castle made me laugh. We do that often too. He usually calls it a truck or a tent. But yeah - all the pillows and blankets that aren't tied down. Aren't messes so much more fun when they come from toddlers? I also loved the Mother's day post.
Yes, I do know that all of my utensils are in the sandbox or toybox. That's a given. This morning, Zarrie was laughing at me as my eggs were cooking and I was scrambling around looking for my favorite scraper. "Silly Mommy!" he said.
Please pass on our congrats to Sarah and Dave and hugs to the new baby and big brothers. Love M
You have the BEST blog I have ever seen - because I am one of those people who LIKE to watch other people's home movies!
Oh your excited voice when you first met Jackson Toby! And to think I have told my sons to have puppies instead of children...
I still want to move to Ireland.
Can a woman and her two dogs (or Dan can keep them) move there?
Where does Joe suggest I go?
I have to go back to your blog and continue the picures of the girls.
love, Lois
