Jonah had his first road trip this past week. We went to Georgia to welcome Jack Benjamin McAlister into the world. We drove up on Wednesday September 23. Jonah did so great on the drive.It took us 10 hours to get to Lendie's house. Jonah slept the majority of the way, we stopped every 3 hours to feed him and change his diaper. He did not cry when I would put him back in his seat. It's almost like he knew it was going to be a long drive. Before Jack was born we had a blast hanging out and going to downtown Dahlonega.
Jack was born on September 29. He weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. Jack's birth was one of the sweetest events I have ever been able to witness in my life. I was in the room video taping Lendie pushing (nothing down there) and after Jack was born. I was not able to experience Jonah's birth the way that I had wanted to, so it was so special to be able to be apart of Jack being born. Jonah was even in the room when Jack was born. My mom was in the back of the room rocking Jonah while Lendie was pushing. Jonah did not make a single noise the whole time. You would've never known that Jonah was in the room other than just seeing him there. Jack's birth is something that I will never forget and something I will cherish in my memory and heart forever. Also, Jonah and Jack will be able to say that they were both in the room when each other was born (Jack was still in the womb but it counts).Lendie and Jack came home on Sept. 30 and are both doing great!! Today, one of Lendie's friends are coming over the take pictures of the boys. I'm so excited about Jonah getting some nice pictures made and not having to pay for them! We have had so much fun playing with the boys! Jack is such a little sweetheart, it breaks my heart that we have to leave tomorrow. He is going to be so much bigger the next time that I see him. I cannot wait for Jason to get out of the Army, and for them to move back home. Jonah and Jack are going to be inseperable I just know it!!
