Heather, mom’s closest friend was in the delivery room with us. Jacob, my 13 year old, was in the waiting room with the family. Watch Jacob become a big brother, right before your eyes:

After 30+ hours of labor, 4 hours of pushing, baby Jackson entered the world. He weighed 8lbs, 7oz, 20″ long with a 14″ head (ouch). About 15 minutes later, Jacob, his uncle Randy, Randy’s wife Keilene and Heather’s boyfriend Mark all came into the delivery room. Jacob ran right to his step-mom first, gave her a big kiss and said, “how are you?” Next, he turned around to meet his newborn brother. Tears flowed all night. It was a PERFECT experience!
Mom suffered some complications shortly thereafter, but will be fine and as I write this, remains in the hospital for observation. Soon, we will be home and begin the next phase of our lives together. Thanks to everyone for their support and love.
