Brudders and Seesters

There is one thing that will never get old, and that is seeing our children together! I love this little outtake of Devin and Cooper. He was jsut a few weeks old here and Devin was so incredibly proud of him. She still is, but it was so new still here. I remember thinking how she seemed like she had suddenly aged 3 years once I had Cooper.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my littles!

Uncle Butch

While Cherry was in town, her brother happened to be coming through town so he stopped in for a night to visit!

We spent lots of time outside under the gazebo with the fan blowing full force. For 110+ temps, it wasn't too miserable there.

Uncle Butch loved holding his nephew!

Cherry and Patsy

About a week after Coop was born, Chris' mom came for a visit with her grandbabies!  Of course when Cherry is in town, we get to see more of Aunt Patsy and Uncle Tim as well. 

Aunt Patsy could hardly wait to get her hands on that baby and once she did, she didn't give him back until it was time for him to eat again!  :)

The first few days home...

When I had Cooper, I suffered from a HORRIBLE headache. We still aren't sure if it was a spinal headache (would have had to have been a really slow leak) or a tension headache (more likely since my neck was stiff from being curled in a ball for over an hour trying to get a good epidural). Either way, I came home Thursday, felt OK on and off on Friday, on Saturday I felt great all day until that night when the headache always seemed to come back, then Sunday morning I was miserable when I woke up. I texted Dr. B that I was seriously condisering checking myself into the ER because of the pain, and she called back and put me on bedrest for the next 48 hours with round the clock painkillers. This did the trick! And it was probably an answered prayer because Devin had woken up the night before with a high fever and couging. For the next 48 hours, Cooper and I hung out in my room and slept and played ont he bed when he was awake and Devin, Daddy and Sissy hung out in the rest of the house.

This was taken the night we got home. Devin was pretty obsessed with Cooper and has been since the day she met him.

We did have a really good Saturday though. My mom and dad came by and mom got to meet and hold Cooper...

and thankfully so because mom was right at the end of radiation and chemo, and went into the hospital for 3 weeks shortly after this. So he was much older and bigger by the next time she got to see him.

That Saturday while I was feeling pretty good, Devin and Sissy and I went and ran some errands. We went to the library together and D really enjoyed it!

Randomness

Of course when you have a newborn, there is alot of picture taking. Everything they do is the sweetest thing you have ever seen, especially when you are in that full force baby daze still.
