Because she asked so nicely...

Thank you "Not-Not"

Thank you so much "Not-Not" for coming to help. Chris' mom came up last Wednesday after Cooper was born to help, she stayed a full week, she just left this past Thursday. I have never had help like that before after having a baby. I have to tell you she broke her back helping us, keeping laundry and dishes done every day. Getting up with the kids, and she even kept Cooper in the living room with her at night so I could sleep. It was amazing! Thank you so much for coming to help!

Easter

Cooper Dean is here...

Cooper Dean arrived on April 14 at 2:20pm. He was born at 38 weeks and weighed 8lbs 14oz. We are home and all is well :-) Thanks for your prayers and thoughts!

Tim Hawkins.......Hilarious!

He's reading a King James Version in case you're wondering :)

tomorrow will be here soon....

Our scheduled induction is tomorrow. I can't believe it's already time, although the time has gone by what seems so slowly, it's gone quite fast really. I'm so ready to not be pregnant any more, but its really a bittersweet thing. I know that this is the last baby for us, and so that makes me sad :-( but at the same time, I'm so glad that I'll be able to be a woman again, and not an incubator or milk machine ;-) Anywho, hopefully Chris can figure out this blog thing and post some pictures when he gets home tomorrow after Mr. Cooper Dean gets here.

Barbie's 50th Birthday...

False Alarm

Well, with every pregnancy you must have a false alarm right? I started having contractions yesterday about 5 minutes apart and they went on for about 3-4 hours. So I frantically packed my hospital bag and dug out some baby boy clothes as well as the car seat. Chris and I called a babysitter who is AMAZING and took off to the hospital. I got there and they hooked me up to the monitors. The contractions were registering at about every 3 minutes, and they were begining to hurt, it felt a lot like pitocin when they first start that. They called the doctor who told the nurses to give me a shot of terbutaline which makes the labor stop. That shot burned! But it did its job for the most part and made the labor quit. So I'm home again, hoping to keep this baby in for another week or 2. At this point I'm only 36 weeks and 3 days, so another week or 2 will help a lot.

Oh and for those who don't know, please be sending thoughts our way, Chris lost his job on Monday, he was laid off with about 30 other people. He's looking but hasn't gotten any real leads yet.
