After about 13 hours of labor, Jackson Bruce Grow was born yesterday at 1:08 p.m. He's already taking after his dad, weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs. 11 oz and measuring 22.5 inches long (Nate was 10 lbs. 2 oz. and 22.5 inches). So far he's the most well-behaved little dude, just sleeping, eating and pooping... and not much crying at all. And when he does find the need to make a little noise, Nate is great at calming him down. At this point, I think he's actually held him more than I have.

As long as the pediatrician gives us the green light, we'll get to home this afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed. We can't wait to get out of the hospital and back home.
