BABY TIME
So we made an appointment to do the C-Section today, April 22nd, at 8AM. This is 6 days prior to Harper Grace Jackman's due date (OOOPS, DID I SAY HARPER GRACE JACKMAN??!?!??!?) We got everything ready last night and the plan was to get up at 5AM and get to the hospital in time for our 6AM check in. Of course, baby Harper had other plans. Erica has been having some contractions since Saturday and around 3AM she got out of bed because they were getting stronger and more frequent, to the point where it was keeping her up. At 4:10 her water broke, on our highly fluid resistant leather couch (THANK GOODNESS). It was odd to rush to the hospital, but at the same time just grab all of our stuff which was already packed. By the time we got there Erica had dilated to 5cm. The hospital staff was like, GET THIS BABY OUT. So they did. Check out some sweet photos below. Video and more photos possibly coming up later today and/or tomorrow. For now, admire at how amazingly beautiful and hairy our little girl is (8 lbs. 1 oz | 20"):

What a BEAUTIFUL baby girl!!! We are so excited for you guys, and so excited that everything went well! Harper is a great name and such a beautiful baby! I can't wait to meet her! Hope everything is going well!!
Congratulations!! She is so beautiful!!! It seems as though she just couldn't wait to get out and meet lucky mom and dad. I love the name choice BTW.
Wow! She's sooooo beautiful! I can't wait to hold her!
So - share the history behind the name!!!!
Congratulations to all three of you!
Congratulations! I love the name Harper and can't wait to meet her! Let me know if you need anything!
Congratulations! She is SOOOOO cute! I can't wait to see more pictures. She is really adorable, look at all of that hair she has!
I'm guessing she is named after Harper Lee, author of the greatest book about a lawyer of all time. Are you going to give her the nickname "Scout"? She is a beauty, and she must have wanted to make sure SHE was in control here, not some doctor picking out her birthday for her...
Congratulations.
i love that little baby already!! and the girls at the salon want me to tell you that they LOVE her name!! what a freakin doll, i can't wait to squish her!!
Judy, I don't know if you're right about Harper Lee - but I agree with you - so that's what I'm hoping for! And what a legacy!
Congratulations on your new little one! That's so exciting! :-)
Congrats!
yay for another jackman! can't wait to see baby jackman at law school!
