And the word from the proud father himself, months later:
"Sophie Isabella Jackson
Born 7:14 PM, Tuesday August 4th 1998
Weight: seven pounds, twelve ounces
Length: 20.5 inches
Cute as button
Parents and baby healthy, happy and sleepy."
Sophie is much larger now, of course.
Years after this page first went up, she is a big sister, too:
"Oliver Henry Jackson
Born 4/20/03, at 9:41 PM
8 pounds, 6 ounces
11 days overdue, but sure in a hurry to come out!
Labor was short, came on rather subtly, built in intensity alarmingly, and we are so glad he wasn't born on the West Side Highway. As it was he was born a scant five minutes after we arrived at the birthing center!
Mother, baby, big sister and dad healthy, happy, and glad to be home."
By the way, I didn't even know Martha was pregnant until I got the email. I love Ben.
