Cooper at 1 Month

Here are some photos when Cooper was turning 1 month. That week my mom came down for Easter and stayed a few days and then Jackson's mom Karen came to stay with us for a few days. Cooper had Grandma overload!!! He loved it because he could be held all the time. It was a great time! Some pictures are of Easter and the Grandma visits.

Catching up with Cooper!

I have been so distracted by being Cooper's mommy that I had forgotten my blog. I never really got into before so picking it up after has been a challenge but I really want to keep track of things and update my friends and family that don't live in Dallas. So here are some pictures of Cooper during the first couple of weeks of life. We had so much fun getting to know him. He truly brings a different kind of JOY to our lives and makes up put life in perspective. We think God everyday for our little miracle.

Jackson's first spit up moment! If he only knew what was coming that wouldn't have been that big of a deal!

Cooper's Arrival March 13th 2010

So since I let things get past me once again I guess I will start with Cooper's arrival, which was 5 months ago! Sheesh I can't beleive he has been here that long. He is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He is alot of work but all worth it when he smiles at me and looks at me with those bright blue eyes.

Coopers eviction notice

Me right before going to the hospital

I guess I will begin with my labor. We decided to induce b/c I was only 2 days away from my due date and my feet/ankle swelling was getting worse. I was induced with Cytotec on March 11th  two days before my due date. I came in to the hospital that night and they gave me 25mcg of cytotec around 9 pm and I was only 1/50/-2. I didn't really feel much until they placed the 2nd dose of cytotec around 1am. I started feeling some cramping and wasn't able to sleep through it. They decided not to place the 3rd dose of  Cytotec b/c I was pretty much already in labor contracting every 2-3mins. By 5am I was ready to get some sleep so my nurse Rhonda gave me some Nubain and helped with the pain a bit and let me sleep for about an hour and a half. Then I was 2 cm . Around 730 or so Dr. New came in and checked me and broke my water. He said I was 3cm. They did not need to start pitocin because I was laboring myself. Around 9 or so I was 4cm and decided it was time for the Epidural. After getting the epidural I was 5cm. Then we waited. I was completly dilated around 2pm I think. We decided to labor down until he was lower and I started pushing around 430pm. My nurse Colleen stayed 2 hours past her shift til he was born at 535pm on March 12th. He was a healthy 8lbs 2oz and 20 inchs long. We stayed in the hospital til Sunday morning around 1130am. When we got home we had my mom and Tom there to greet us. Here are some pictures from before going to the hospital, after delivery and at the hospital. It was an amazing experience and I'm so glad I can understand my patients better by going through this. It was alot different being on the other side of things but the whole expierence flew by faster than I thought too.

Holiday Catch Up!

The girls with Jayden at Cheesecake Factory

Wow it has been a long time since I've blogged! I think the holidays got to me and I found myself busier than I expected. I guess I'll start with November and catch everyone up til the present. My birthday was the first week of November and Jaimi come down to visit with Jayden. We traveled to Abilene for a day to visit and then came back to celebrate my birthday with Terran, and Amy (who came down from Kansas). We had a blast going out to eat and shopping! It was a little different this time since we has a 15 month old with us but we managed to still get our shopping on. :)

Thanksgiving was uneventful because I was scheduled to work, but was fortunate to get cancelled which means I didn't have to go in but I was on call if they needed me. So my poor husband had to settle for Boston Market mashed potatoes and stuffing since I wasn't planning on being home and making anything. It wasn't to bad because my Mom and Tom came into town that weekend and we made our own Thanksgiving dinner. We also filled our holiday tradition by going up to the attic and getting down all the Christmas decor and putting up the tree. I like doing it right after Thanksgiving that way I can get my whole month in of looking at all my pretty decorations. I love Christmas time and everything that it brings, well maybe not the shopping traffic or poor drivers, but you know what I mean.

Jackson and I were blessed to have Christmas off from work, so we went to Edmond, OK to visit with our families. We were able to do the four Christmas's bit where we had hopped from one family members house to the next. We really did have a wonderful time with each and everyone of them. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends and I just wanted to tell people how much they meant to us. We came back to Dallas after what we felt was a short week in Oklahoma to more work. I worked til 7pm on New Years Eve then we went over to one of our friends house to eat a delicious dinner they had prepared for us and play games with them and some other friends from our life group. It was a wonderful way to bring in the new year.

This month we have just been trying to adjust from the post holiday rush and settle back into our normal lives. We are getting back to our life group every Tuesday, which we love getting together with our friends and learning more about ourselves and God. We are planning a trip to Las Vegas in the first week of March to see Jackson's family and have a mini vacation. That is it for now. Here are some of the pictures from the holiday!
