Grammi and Grandy (Randy and Pam) brought Anna up to the hospital for the first time on Saturday afternoon. Anna was so excited in the car and couldn't wait to meet her "Baby Brother". She calls him "Baby Brother" and Jackson with an emphasis on the "ck" as if it's an "x". We've been explaining "what's in mommy's tummy" over the last several months, and Anna really started to understand and began to get really excited about having a baby brother and being a big sister. Anna's one-year-old cousin, Brooks, helped her understand that having a playmate her age can be so much fun...and entertaining. Anna has fallen in love with "Brooksy" (as she calls him) and we think that Brooks has helped her realize what fun a baby brother can be.
Back to the introduction....Anna arrived at the hospital Saturday afternoon and Chad greeted her in the hall before she came in. She had her serious face on and was very anxious to see mommy and Jackson. Anna slowly walked into the room not knowing what to expect and was immediately excited to see Jackson and wanted to hold him. She curled up in the bed and had a special moment with her new brother as they were able to meet for the first time. There is no doubt that Jackson is pretty familiar with Anna's voice as he's had to hear her from the womb over the past 9 months talking, laughing, crying(!) and of course repeating all of her funny trademark sayings.
Words can't express what a special moment it was as the four of us sat together for the first time..."our family"...the four of us.
And, of course, a picture of Jackson...
