He is here!!!


Jackson Michael Arndt arrived January 5, 2009 @ 4:36p.m.

He weighs 8lbs 2oz and is 21 inches long. He has dark hair and blue eyes and is perfect in every way!
Labor and delivery were quite a breeze, thanks to an epidurel.
We were induced at 7:30a.m. and started pushing around 3:45p.m. I had discomfort for just a 1/2 hour, otherwise I was feeling "great". I wish I had the epidural today, as I am a little uncomfortable...but easy to forget when I am holding this perfect little boy!

Here are some pictures from yesterday. These were all taken within 30 minutes of his birth.
We will update with more pictures throughout the week.

Mike & I are very proud of our amazing little boy!
