Cooper Alan Johnson!!!!

Wow, we have a son!! I had been feeling uncomfortable on Sunday and Monday already; but Tuesday morning I was getting really uncomfortable so we decided to call my doctor. Due to Miley's quick delivery my doctor made me go to the hospital to get checked out. At the hospital they discovered I was having regular contrations. My doctor decided to keep me over night to monitor my progress. Wednesday morning things were moving along enough that my doctor decided to break my water, the little guy seemed he was ready to come. My water was broken around 5:30 and little Cooper Alan Johnson was born at 7:14 p.m. He weighed in at 6 lbs 2oz and 19 inches in length. We were so thankful to find out that even though he was born 4 1/2 weeks early, he was healthy and not in need of the NIC-U. Our great friend Ashley was able to deliver Cooper. We also feel blessed that my parents were able to meet Cooper 5 min after he was born. Big sister Miley is adjusting very well and asks to "hold Cooper" often.

This is the NIC-U staff assessing Cooper right after his birth. They all agreed he is healthy-praise God!!

A very rare picture of Cooper with his eyes open. I've only seen his eyes three times so far.

This was one of my favorite moments...introducing Miley to her little brother.

This is my favorite picture of Cooper so far. My two favorite men!!!

We love you Cooper!!!

Staying at home for the weekend

Due to it being Memorial weekend this past weekend, Eric was extremely busy, and Miley and I decided to just stay at home this weekend. So because we stayed at home all weekend we didn't do too much... Miley played on the new blow up castle, went swimming, played on the playground with other camper children, played mini golf a dozen times, went out for pancakes a couple mornings, checked out karaoke, went and looked at fish in the lake and the boats, had a few golf cart rides, played with water balloons, played with the giant chess set, had a picnic, went on a wagon ride, sat by a campfire. Yep.....it was just a boring weekend at home:)

"Playing Doctor"

So last evening we had a little scare. I was concerned that my water may be leaking. We proceeded to go to our doctor. Our doctor did some tests and was unable to determine if it was my water or not. Therefore, we were sent to the hospital. To our surprise, Ashley was the first person we saw when we opened the doors to the labor and delivery unit. She ended up being my doctor during our short stay at the hospital. It felt a little like I was playing doctor with a friend. We were thankful Ashley was there and even more thankful to find out that it was not my water (since I'm only 34 weeks) and the little guy will be staying in me for a few more weeks. Praise Jesus!! Ashley even let us see our little guy via ultrasound....he's so cute. I think he looks like his daddy.
