A new little man has entered the world! And I may be a bit bias but hes perfect! he entered this world on August 19th, 2010 at 12:23pm...he weighted a whopping 8lbs and was 20 inches long with a 13 inch round head!
That night I never really fell asleep, around 2:00AM I started feeling contractions but they were light, long and not very frequent. My mom woke up and checked on me and told me if I was it was ok, it would be a while and I should try and fall back asleep...and so I did...around 5:45 I woke up mom and dad and told them "they are getting really strong" so mom got in the shower and dad sat with me while we timed my contractions...when mom got out of the shower dad said "umm they are like a minute apart" and so mom rushed to get ready and we headed to Littleton Hospital! we arrived at 6:30. When we got to the room the nurse hooked me up to the monitors and said we are gonna monitor you and maybe have you walk around a little...when she left mom and dad watched my contractions on the monitor and said wow they are strong and close!? another nurse came in and asked if I had been checked, she checked me and said "wow your dialated to 7 cm, we need to get you that epidural!" we got the epidural and then I stayed dialated at 8cm for a while so they added petosin to my iv to push me over! I pushed for about 30 mins and Dr. Abman came in and delivered Cooper!
The past few days have been fun and amazing! We have had many visitors and we are getting use to this new and exciting world! We are now working on getting on a schedule (we might have day and night a little backwords because we are eating every 2 hours at night and sleeping for 3 or more hour stretches during the day!)
