Mini Coop is no longer known as Mini Coop – For those of you
who are following me on here but not through Facebook, you are not aware of our
new son or have seen the couple dozen pictures that I have posted.
Dylan John arrived on May 29th and just turned a
month old on June 26th (sorry for not posting on here right away; I
can not believe it was over a month) He
arrived 2 weeks early which was a shock for us but awesome news as well. I ended up having an emergency c-section
after pushing for almost an hour and a half, but he came out very healthy and
with a little bit of jaundice that was discovered after we were recovering
during the week (Mommy had some health problems too which put her in the hospital a week later also, so we are on the road to recovery and finally having some free time at home). He weighed 7 pounds, 13
ounces and was 21 ½ inches long. I think
if I would have gone full term he would have been around 9 ½ pounds. Either way, I am glad he is finally here and
we could not be happier. We have had so
many laughs and tears. Our breaths are
taken away everyday watching him and seeing what is changing. Even though he is not too happy in the picture above, he still brings happiness to our hearts whether he is crying or just taking in his new surroundings as he learns new things.
We have spent a lot of time indoors and bonding even more
because of the heat here. Today we
walked to get the mail which was about 2 blocks total and that was enough time
outside. The humidity was terrible and
it just took the wind out of both of us.
Good thing we have the air and fans on in the house so that we are
staying comfy. He is growing well and
will have a two month check up at the end of the month to make sure everything
is still on track.
