Grant Gunnar Cooper

August 15th came and went and I started to think that I would be pregnant forever! (Or so it seems to a pregnant woman who is overdue.) I was very impatient for my little man to get here. I started to think that I was going to be pregnant for the rest of my life. Tuesday (August 17th) morning rolls around and I started having very intense contractions. I had an appointment with my Dr. that morning so I decided I should just go to the scheduled appointment I thought I would only be dilated to a 3 or 4 anyways. I end up taking my mom, who was in town thank goodness, with me to the appointment just IN CASE. My appointment was at 10:00 am and Grant was born at 10:54 am the same morning. Needless to say, my appointment was very brief. I found out that I was dilated to a 7 and needed to go straight to the hospital. I won't go into all the details- although I will say I thought I was going to deliver this baby in the car- and I am SO glad I didn't have to. Once I got to the hospital I was rushed to the delivery room and waited the longest 2-5 minutes of my LIFE for Cory to get there so the Dr. could break my water and this baby could be born! Once Cory arrived and the Dr. broke my water- our baby was born after just a couple of pushes. Grant Gunnar Cooper weighed 8 lbs 3 oz, and was 20 in long. That's a big baby- for me! :)

We are all so excited that Grant has joined our family!

*Grant is now 3 weeks old- but updates will have to come at a later date. I am still trying to adjust with having 3 kids and finding balance every day. But we are loving life! :) *
