Not Yet Cooper!

-

So today I woke up and just didn't feel right, but I'm pregnant so I never really feel right. By lunch time I started having contractions and by 1pm they were every 2 to 5 minutes apart (too close for comfort)! Thankfully Max was napping at this time so I could put my feet up and chug some water in hopes that they would stop. Anyway, Jeff came and got me and we went to the doctors and my dad met us at the hospital to play with Max. (Dad said that Max flirted with all the ladies...I'm not ready for that.) They hooked me up to this machine to detect Cooper's heart beat and my contractions. We got to listen to Cooper for a good half hour...he sounded so cute! The doc. decided to give me a shot...or to have the nurse give it to me (docs always get out of the mean part of the job). The shot helped stop my contractions from coming so quickly and regularly. He said that Cooper sounds great and healthy and that I need to rest for a few days. Darn, so I guess I can't do the dishes or laundry for a little while...too bad. Mom is going to come and hang out with us tomorrow and Max and I can't wait! Don't worry, we are all happy. We want to meet Cooper as soon as possible, but we want him to be good and ready...so not yet Cooper!

(The above picture is not from today. It was taken when I was in labor with Max...today's contractions were not like the ones in the picture...if you know how to read them.)

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

We Still Love Eachother

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Day 3: July 28

Today was THE day!  Miley Mengcong Bostrom’s Gotcha day!  We woke up anxiously at 5am and waited until 6:30 before going down to breakfast.  Breakfast was wonderful.  There were all kinds of food we had never had before and some that looked familiar like fruit, sausage, and bacon.   We had to wait until 10:30 until finally getting to meet Miley so we walked around the inside and outside of the hotel.  There is a lap pool that is amazing. We can’t wait to swim in it….maybe tomorrow.  We found a bakery that sells the cutest cakes in the shape of cars or cartoon characters.  We will probably buy one for Miley, because tomorrow is her birthday.  We were mainly trying to waist time… When it was finally time, our guide told one family member come outside and get your new child.  Well that wasn’t going to happen, Jeff and I both went with him….and….we….waited….again!  It was probably one a couple of minutes, but sudde...
