All is well!

Jackson is about 34 hours old and all is well! He is a healthy little boy and we love him so much! So far, the experience has been great and about as opposite as when we had Anna. To start, Jackson was late - Anna was right on time (born on her due date). Jackson arrived with a full head of hair - Anna had none! Jackson seems to be laid back and has barely cried - Anna cried the first 48 hours of her life (non-stop!). All he does is sleep and eat...which is what babies are supposed to do, right!? We have really enjoyed our time with him these past few hours...getting to know him, welcoming him into this world, and into our family (more to come on that subject!).

Small details aside, we can't look beyond the fact that we are incredibly blessed to have two healthy children. We're so thankful to God for Anna and Jackson.

These are a few pictures we thought you'd enjoy....we'll post more over the next couple of days. Stay tuned to see how Anna did when she met Jackson for the first time!

Congratulations Chad and Mandy!
We were praying for your family during this exciting week. I'm glad to hear that Jackson has been easy going and content. God bless you!

Ah...he's just precious! We loved meeting him and I'm looking forward in the next few months to stopping by for 5 minutes or so just to hold that baby!! I'll need a newborn fix:)
