More pictures of Jackson at 7 weeks!

A recent picture of Jackson posing for Aunt Joanna!

A picture of Jackson's first trip out to the doctor with me.

This was one of Jackson's first pictures! The nurses had just finished cleaning him up and putting a diaper on him.

Wow! It has been a long time since I've updated our blog! The past couple of months have been a whirlwind. Jackson Ray James was born on May 24th and 5:22 in the morning. He weighted 8.6 pounds and was 20 inches long. He is now almost 8 weeks old and continues to change and grow so much everyday. Over the past two weeks he has started to smile more and we think we heard a little giggle the other day. Here are some recent pictures of Jackson talking to his Nana and smiling!

Jackson's room is ready to go! We have a few small things to add which we will have time for. And although my due date is almost a week away my doctor seems to think I have a few more weeks to go! Jackson will come when he's ready!

Waiting on Baby Jackson to arrive!

Derek and I have been so busy the past month I haven't had time to update our blog! We had our last two showers, finished setting up the nursery and have had lots of errands to run to get everything done for the arrival of our baby boy! I am now 38 weeks pregnant (starting my 39th week today) and anxiously awaiting for Jackson to be here. Here is a recent picture of my ever so big baby bump and a pic from one of my showers. We have been blessed with lots of gifts and love from family and friends.

Our 2ND shower for Jackson was over the weekend. A group of my really good friends hosted it. It was wonderful! The food was great and the decorations were adorable. I am blessed to have such good friends. Jackson got lots of new clothes, books, toys and blankets (just to name a few). I am so excited to use all of them with him soon. Especially the Tuckie Duckie (to be used for bath time).

I am 34 weeks now and as many people call it I have started my "nesting". I have probably been doing that for a few weeks now but the urge to get things organized has definitely intensified. Derek seems to be getting more and more excited. I just can't wait for him to hold Jackson! I really think his daddy instincts will kick in then. As far as mine, I feel like they already have!
