Cooper Hiram
Well Cooper is finally here and he arrived exactly on his due date - 09/15/09. My contractions began early in the morning but were nothing to painful so I figured that it still may be a day or two. I had a Dr's appt that morning and the Dr. said I was 3cm. Since I was positive for StrepB this go around he wanted to admit me to get a couple of doses of antibiotics on board. My contractions did pick up but it was still going slow so Dr. Miller broke my water and by 9:56 pm Cooper had arrived. He weighed 7lbs 3 1/4 oz. and was 21" long. His delivery was the easiest on me, 3 pushes. Yeah for mommy! I feel great and am home with the family today. It has already been a smooth transition. Jack is very excited and keeps asking when Cooper is going to wake up. Griffin just smiles. We all are happy Cooper is here safely and love him so much already.
