10 Weeks

Cooper is almost 3 months old! She weighed 10lbs and 12ozs at the LLL meeting today. She is smiling and cooing and loves to play! It is so much fun to make her smile and to interact with her. She has her hands in her mouth constantly...eventually I think she will find her fingers or thumbs.



Tax season has officially started and I am SO glad to be at home with her instead of working! The decision to stay home with her for 5 months instead of 3 months was the smartest thing I have done lately! She is starting to develop a personality and I am getting to know her more and more every day.


I scheduled Cooper's 3 month pictures with a photographer in Tuscaloosa, Jennifer Ray (http://www.barefeetphotography.net/). She is coming to my mom's house to take the pictures. Wes and I are planning on getting in on the photo action and taking some family pics!

Cooper was born on November 5th at 1:06pm and weighed 6lbs 9ozs. Labor and delivery was a lot easier than I was expecting...I was induced at 6:00 that morning and got my epidural a couple hours later and in a couple more hours it was time to start pushing. I pushed for 30 minutes and she was here (thank God because I don't think I could have pushed a minute more...it was tiring)! We stayed in the hospital until Friday and got home just in time for the Alabama vs. LSU game. Now looking back I realize that things were a lot crazier the first few weeks than I realized. Luckily, Wes was a tremendous help and having my mom there was comforting. It is really hard to function with so little sleep...

I think I will start blogging...

Thanks to Mindy...I decided to try blogging. It seems like a great way for family and friends to keep up with what is going on in our lives! I will try to do a weekly post, but will post more often if there is something super exciting happening with our family! Here it goes...
