Here is the newest addition to our family! Jackson Robert Glas was born 1-24-08 at 3:24 PM. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 inches long. He was about 4 weeks early, so we are glad he didn't go longer. He would have been huge! Labor was fast. Mikelle started contractions about 10 AM, and Jackson was here less than 5 1/2 hours later. Mikelle was glad it was short though because she wasn't able to get an epidural because of the Heparin she had been on during the pregnancy. Even though Jackson was so early, he is perfectly healthy. He had a little jaundice, but most babies do. The doctors weren't worried. We are both trying to adjust to having a newborn around. Luckily Mikelle's mom came for a few days to help us get adjusted. She spoiled us, so we're not sure what
we will do now without her. Maybe try to grow-up and get used to being parents. One day that will sink in, but as for now it seems surreal. It has only been 8 days though.

Ah Congrats Mikelle! He is a beautiful baby!!!! And I'm so sorry about the epidural. Ouch. You are a real woman. And I absolutely love the pictures of you when you were pregnant. I wish so so much that I had done that now that I see yours. You look so gorgeous! Wow.
Congrats!! He is a beautiful baby. We are glad to hear that everything went well for both mom and baby.
