Cooper is here!

Cooper arrived last Friday weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. 21 1/2 inches long. He has lots of brown hair. We had a planned c-section and it went well. Cooper has been such a great baby and we are so excited to have him join our family. Brody is adjusting great so far. He keeps giving Cooper kisses and wants to help out all the time. We bought a new camera around Christmas and it has been the best purchase yet. We can finally capture the moment. Adam keeps telling me how he wants to make sure to give both of the boys attention and he is doing so great, he is such a good dad to both his little boys! He calls it being a "double dad". Adam probably took around 1200 picture but I will post just a few. Here's just a few pictures of Cooper, the hospital stay, visitors and going home today.

So much better! The first day was really rough but that's considering I went through a major surgery and finding out I was allergic to morphine which made me even sicker. Everyday gets so much better and I feel like I'm starting to get back to the swing of things, thanks for asking!
