Grandson #4 or grandchild #7 better known as Jackson Everett Thompson decided it was time finally to come and introduce himself to his family but he certainly was a bit stubborn about it.
His due date was Feb. 2. Well, I put Feb. 2 in my calendar to remind me of his birthday since babies come when we want them to come, right? He decided not to come then. Back home from the hospital Laura and BJ went. They waited and waited and still no Jackson. He wasn't ready. Teachers at Lily and Ben's school were asking, "do you have a baby brother yet?" and the answer was "not yet." Laura and BJ conferred with the doctor and decided that they would give him a few more days to make up his mind BUT he was going to come that next weekend.
So back to the hospital Laura and BJ went. I should mention that Cindy and I were babysitters for the other grandkids while everyone waited.
Finally on Saturday, Feb. 10th at 9pm, Jackson was ready. He came and has already made himself at home.
Welcome to the family Jackson. We love you.
