We added a new little one to our little family today! Joanie Grace Jackson was born today at 4:12 PM. (sounds like the beginning of an obituary but I couldn't think of how else to start it.) So she surprised us by being a little bigger than expected. Wombat and the Hurricane both weighed in at 6.14 and 6.7 respectively and but little sister was 8.14. We have already moved her up a weight class for her future wrestling classes.
Marie and Joanie are both feeling great and doing well. Joanie has so far shown her disposition to be calm. She has hardly made a peep, she eats her dinner without complaining, and seems so far to be the infant version of Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way.

Just so, so happy for you guys! Congratulations on adding another beautiful little one to your crew. Hope all is well.
Love you guys so much!
And Jim, thank you, as always, for making me laugh. You never fail me.
And P.S. I LOOOOOVVVVEEE the name Joanie. It's perfect.
Love the name and love the new little one! Congratulations!!!!
YAY YAY YAY! she's beautiful...and you already know what i think about that name...it's perfect! look at your beautiful little family! love this update...can't wait to snuggle little joanie.
(ps lainey's hat? she's adorable and getting way too big :)
When we shared the BIG news (wow Marie - 8.14 - talking about moving up a class. I've always considered way above Jim, but now you've managed to even surpass "Marisa" status in my book)... anyway, when we shared the news with the boys they all ooohed and awwwhed like girls at book club. Then, all of the sudden, Noah piped up: "Hey wait... Romney already HAS A SISTER! Why does he get two??" (short period of silence filled only with the inaudible sound of six-year-old brain gears churning)... "Maybe... we could trade for Baby Eliot!"
We then reminded Noah that he loved his baby brother, which happily (for both us and Eliot) left him recanting his previously ingenious and only slightly troubling idea.
Bottom line: Marie rocks, Joanie rocks, the name rocks, and that sweet Central Laundry outfit dated February 11th rocks the hardest.
Love to you all - Dave
Congratulations to your whole family! She is lovely and so is her name. I want to meet her this summer when I'm in Utah! Love to you all!
So very, very happy and excited for you guys!
You have to get to the computer earlier than Dave to share those perfect Noah quotes :-) I'm so so happy for you guys! Way to rock delivery, Marie! Love you guys.
I'm so excited for you guys! Congrats!!
Congratulations!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! CONGRATULATIONS! She's just gorgeous and all of you together look so amazing. So happy for you all. XO
Congratulations Jacksons! She is beautiful and I love her name! Please let me know if you need help with anything while you are getting adjusted - I am available all day everyday except from 2-4 to run errands, watch kids, etc. So excited for your family =)
So sweet! Congratulations! Can't wait to meet her :)
Yeah! Congrats! And when you get a second, we want to hear the WHOLE story. Drugs or au naturale?
So excited to meet to Joanie! Popping out an 8 14 baby is no small feat - way to go, Marie! She has proud siblings too..the pictures are so cute. You are amazing and we want to come down and meet her soon. Hope you are recovering well. Love you guys.
I want her. The original Joan had some excellent Bay Area years, so I'm expecting this Joanie to come our way as well. Spurred by the news of Joanie's birth, Nat asked if we could have all our "Utah friends" come to a party at our house.
All of which is to say: we miss you and congratulations and hooray for a new baby born into one of the best families that ever was.
adorable. love it. can't wait to meet her.
I agree--She, the name and your announcement are ALL practically perfect in every way. Love from China.
