Today is December 30th. I feel good. Much better than I thought I would when I had tried to imagine myself at this point. Jackson was born by c-section 48 hours ago. It’s been a fatiguing two days, but I’ve handled the surgery and, so far, recovery much better than I did nearly 4 years ago with Rebekah. Jackson is very good at nursing and has stimulated the production of milk earlier than either of the girls did. I am relieved that the feedings through the night last night seemed to have produced better results for him than on the first night since he’s getting the real deal now!
Thanks to all of you who have called and visited us as we are being cared for in the hospital. We are doing well and I am beginning to wonder if we might be discharged as early as today. I wouldn’t mind staying one more night just to be able to send the baby off to the nursery between feedings and get as much rest as I can.
I will put some pictures on here when I get home.

It’s good to here that you are doing so well and that Jackson is too. The girls and I have prayed prayers of thanks for “Rachel and Bekah’s baby brother!”
