I could not be more proud and humbled at this moment. I have a new son, Jackson Titus King, named by his 2 year old brother, Jameson. My amazing wife Toni, gave birth to him at 12:43pm on April 6th, 2009. Here are his official birth stats:
- Length
- 21 inches
- Weight
- 7lbs 9oz
- Time
- 12:43pm on April 6th, 2009
- Hair
- Brown
- Eyes
- Blue-ish?
He looks a ton like his big brother Jameson did at birth. He has the same King family scowl. He has already taken well to feeding and loves to suck on his left hand. Toni tells me that he loved his left hand in the womb as well and it showed on his ultrasounds. He is breathtakingly beautiful and all the doctors and nurses have not hesitated to tell us that. Yes, I’m sure they say that to every new parent, but I’ll take it ;)
Hopefully we’ll be heading out of the hospital tomorrow. You may have noticed the IV in his right hand. He has been in the NICU for a day now as he had a fever when he was born, but that fever has now subsided, thank God. The only issue now has been a bit of a dip in his oxygen levels when he sleeps, but nothing too alarming. We are stoked about getting home and sharing him with his older brother, who will, I’m sure will put Jackson to the test.
Toni is doing well and healing well. She hates any time at the hospital and has been waiting to get out. Any time at the hospital other than for seeing or giving birth to babies is not the greatest time at all so with that in mind, we are thankful we are here for a baby birth, but ready to get out.
Thank you
The biggest thanks of all go to 3 special forces in my life. First, God. Thank you father for answering every prayer that we asked of you. You have given us a wonderful gift in my wife’s health and our new son. You are awesome. Second, my wife. You are my hero. To see how much you have had to deal with in this high-risk pregnancy for our family and to bring us one more child is amazing. You worked incredibly hard to bring this little miracle into the world and you deserve all honor for your love and amazing motherhood. Third, thanks to my son Jameson. You named your little brother Jackson Titus even when your parents had no clue what to name him. You are going to be an amazing big brother.
Also, thanks to all of you who have prayed for, hoped and wished that all went well in this childbirth process. Thank you for your friendship and kind words.
I’m very happy for you guys! Congratulations and good luck! Love ya guys!
CONGRATS and all the best mate! I’m sure those two little fellas are an immense source of inspiration… Take care!
Congratulation Man!
Good to hear he’s doing well!
Congratulations again, Rogie and crew!
lol! he looks like you jesse lee!
Congats Rogie! My first assumption was the “breathtaking beauty” referred to his hand, which is why it was encased in a hyperbaric chamber to prevent aging (ala David Duchovny in Zoolander).
An IV is slightly less outlandish.
Congrats man! My prayers are with you and the family.
Congratulations! Pretty cool and unique name. I wish you, your wife and newly born all the best.
Congratulations. The miracle of life!
