We Had a Baby!

So we went in for our "planned c-section" on Monday and in a matter of hours we had our new baby boy! Everything went perfectly. The stats:

2-22-10 at 10:21 am (sharing a birthday with the great George Washington)
Cooper Danny (Danny is my Dad's name)
8 lb. 10 oz. (17 days early - glad we didn't wait any longer!)
19 inches (shortest baby we've ever had)



Previous kiddos:
Breckyn - 9 days early 7 lb. 8 oz.
Kyra - 3 days late 9 lb. 1 oz.
Ryder - 10 days early 8 lb. 13 oz.

Considering the past 3 children's deliveries this one was by far the easiest. I've done it all now - 1- au natural, complete with dimmed lights and yoga music playing softly in the background (way overrated in my opinion!), 2- last minute epidural followed by almost 4 hours of just pushing, 3- emergency c-section after a day of hard labor and finally 4- a planned c-section. For me, and the way I have babies it is definitely the way to go! Recovery is going well, even better than the last time I'd say. So thankful for our little guy and that it all went well.

Valentine's Day Picnic

We hiked up to one of our favorite rocks for a lovely Valentine's Day picnic. The sun was shining so bright and we loved soaking it all up. Happy V-Day!

Breckyn derygweenmaker (Dairy Queen Maker)

This artist wants more than anything to work at Dairy Queen when she grows up, (at least that is what she says this week). She's been practicing making cookies and cupcakes with playdoh all week. She's totally into drawing fairies and mermaids right now. I may be biased but I think for a 5 year old she does pretty well.
