Here's Jackson

Today, Jackson Caulfield Grove was born in Columbus , Ohio's Riverside Hospital. A scheduled C-section, Dr. Vanek delivered. Weighing in at 9 pounds, 9 ounces and measuring in at 20 inches, Jackson is healthy by all accounts.
With a head full of curly blonde hair, this kiddo screamed his way into the world, but is sleeping peacefully after breastfeeding like a champ.
Dad and son.
Mama is doing well after a rather unpleasant bout of nausea about 6 hours after the surgery. The itching from the morphine is enough to drive me mad, but even that is subsiding now.
Today, he met his Grandpa Grove & Charlotte and Grandma Wehage, plus his big sister Eleanor. Nora really wasn't sure about him at first, but then balked at being more than a foot away. I think they will have a very special relationship.
