It's Official: We Are The Jackson 5

Wow the months of July and August will definitely go down as one of the most memorable 60 days of my life. Talk about an emotional roller coaster... wife pregnant, daughter sick, loss of a love one, labor, birth of a son, kids starting school... "aaahhhh can I get off this ride, STOP". I told my wife the other day, "man this is hard, I can see why some men walk away from their responsibilities.. that's the easy way out. Not having to deal with all the chaos." Mmmmm... naaa, not me, I'm not a quitter, never had, never will, it's not in my DNA. Tell me I can't and I'll tell ya I can. As hard as it is, I thank God that I'm here, still standing, still a black man with TREY babies... and I love it.

Speaking of babies, let me introduce you to the latest addition..making his grand entrance into the world on July 20th, at a whopping 7lbs and 13 ounces, and a height of 19 inches.. it's Westley Davis Jackson. Yea, that's right! We have officially been deemed the new "Jackson Five" (WE NEED OUR OWN REALITY SHOW, CALL ME). After being down this road twice before, I can honestly say this birth was a piece of cake. Notice how a man is speaking on the behalf of the woman who did all the work.. shame on me. But it was. Westley has been great. He sleeps all day and stays awake all night. I really think that's from his mom watching way too much "True Blood" during her pregnancy. As for the other siblings welcoming him into the household, mom and I are constantly reminding them that he's not a toy, he can't walk nor talk, and him jumping off the couch or being used as a hurdle is never an option. In other words, they love him.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I'll keep everyone updated on BMHAB. Thank you to everyone who's done so much for us, our family is truly blessed to be part of the village.
