At first I didn't think anything of it and thought they were braxton hicks because I was only 29 weeks. After about 45 minutes I realized they were consistent and started timing them. At that point they were exactly every 10 minutes. I tried all of the normal things to stop them- taking a bath, laying on my left side, relaxing but they wouldn't ease up. Around 8-8:30 I called the on-call doctor to see what she thought. She was very concerned since I had early contractions with Evie so she sent us in to be monitored just incase. By the time we got to the hospital my contractions were every 2-3 minutes and getting stronger every time. The doctor there tried to give me a shot to stop labor and started running tests to see if there was an infection or something causing the contractions. They told us that we should see the contractions slow down within 10 minutes so we tried to relax and wait for things to calm down. Unfortunately they did not calm down. After a little while they came back and decided to give me a second dose. Luckily after the second dose, things slowly calmed down and they eventually stopped. The doctor went ahead and checked me and I was not dilated very much so he thought it was false labor and sent us home with no restrictions, he said to just call my regular OB the next day to touch base. We thought maybe I just overdid it at work that day. I went ahead and took the next day off to rest. The next morning(Friday), I woke up and they immediately came back. I put a call into my OB and started timing them. They weren't as consistent in timing but they would not stop. Once I talked to her, she decided that I needed to start taking medicine to stop contractions around the clock since things were trying to get started even with me resting and not doing much. We decided I would go in Monday to get a steroid shot for Jack's lungs and talk about next steps. We spent the weekend having contractions on and off and relaxing as much as possible to hopefully keep baby boy in until at least we go 2 doses of the steroids to help mature his lungs. We were able to get the steroids shots and after that my doctor put me on bed rest and weekly visits to keep monitoring how things were going. We had a few bumps in the road like multiple labor scares, one week where his movement wasn't great so we had to have an ultrasound to check on him, and other things that kept us very anxious that he might arrive early. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_drjiwso1ZlEKkqWy8jNuOSNyTLfnpcrLrhNGl4KhaTchRT4nS6TVNVJRng8pwhvN7o3vu51DFqcffp0o_wOufFrBvRmxqEEoIze8l1-DUs1tFuusF4Y-i6fFar1UHW2m9hBMDKMw7Yu/s640/IMG_7666.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_drjiwso1ZlEKkqWy8jNuOSNyTLfnpcrLrhNGl4KhaTchRT4nS6TVNVJRng8pwhvN7o3vu51DFqcffp0o_wOufFrBvRmxqEEoIze8l1-DUs1tFuusF4Y-i6fFar1UHW2m9hBMDKMw7Yu/s16000/IMG_7666.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">On January 13th, I went in for my 37 week appointment, even after so many contractions for almost 9 weeks, I was only dilated about 1-1.5 centimeters and about 50-60% effaced. My doctor said to stop taking the medicine and lets see what happens. Thursday morning I woke up and decided to make a Costco trip to stock up before the baby came. As the day went on I had minimal contractions but started to show signs that my water bag was leaking. I put a call into my doctor that afternoon and continued with my regular after school pick up. When I got home the contractions started as the nurse was calling back and she advised we go in to see if my water bag was leaking. I knew James was on his way home from a job so I decided to wait to tell him and called my mom to drop the kids off. Once he got home we dropped the kids off and headed to the hospital. We got there around 4:45-5 and headed to triage. They did a test to check my water and we were told to wait for results. Not 5 minutes after the nurse walked out, I felt a huge gush and knew my water had just broken. We laughed about it and realized we were going to finally be having our sweet boy at exactly 37 weeks (full term- hallelujah)!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We were then moved to our labor and delivery room and expected things to pick up quickly. Once our nurse got the iv set up and everything situated she checked me again and to everyones surprise I had not dilated anymore since the day before at the doctor. We were all shocked and bummed but James and I decided to get me out of bed and start laboring standing up and bouncing on the ball to progress things. Just like my previous two deliveries, I was hoping to have an epidural free delivery. We labored for a few hours and made little to no progress at all. They finally came in and said they thought we should try pitocin to get it going and I would probably progress very rapidly once it started based on my history of very fast deliveries. We agreed and started pitocin. I continued to labor up and about as much as possible to ease the pain, let me just say, this was my first labor with pitocin and those contractions are so much stronger than labor without. We knew once my body kicked into gear it would be very very quick but for some reason it was not getting started like it should, even with pitocin. We continued to labor until about 3:00-3:30am and my doctor came in and said she thought I had another water bag that was not broken and was preventing me from dilating. Sure enough, she was right and she was able to break the second water bag. I had no clue that was even possible!!! After about another hour the nurse came back to check but I was still only 5 cm. The pitocin was so strong at this point and I was getting more tired by the minute. At about 7-7:15 am things shifted very quickly and I knew it was about to be time. I had labored standing and bouncing all night but at that point, I had to get in the bed because the urges to push were coming!! It is so crazy how fast things can change. Just a few minutes before the nurse said I was "barely a 6" and then I knew it was about to be time 5 minutes later. She checked me again and I was 9 cm. My poor doctor had just left the hospital to go home and shower since I was only 6cm. She had to rush back and barely made it in the door before I couldn't "not push" any longer. Three pushes later and Jackson was born at 7:38 am. 14 hours after my first water bag broke our sweet baby boy was in my arms! His labor was my longest and hardest, by far, but we are so grateful. We have a feeling that the second water bag was the reason my cervix never dilated at 29 weeks and we were able to keep him growing in my belly until 37 weeks! What a blessing, I never thought I would be so thankful for an extra water bag! After he was born we were able to do skin to skin for probably over two hours! He latched well from the beginning and has been nursing wonderfully ever since! He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long. Since he was born during a pandemic, it was only James and I there when he was born. It was a different experience from our other three babies, but special in its own way. It was so relaxed and calm while we just got to soak up every minute with our new baby. I am so grateful for a safe delivery and healthy baby to complete our family. He is our little caboose and we are all smitten with him. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyP9r2PjzH_Nxy9-ydem4lvPBc-NQCx7pI7v2Rlr1V2W51g3sU84FZQfx3-iioiHaLi1kLaCkico5YQTIxgBxqMnedov2XZKMEonc7CGMg2Np7naz0DJNWx_lXuOHM4K3TcFz__JUAnswm/s640/IMG_7672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A little back story--<br />
At almost 32 weeks pregnant my doctor put me on bedrest. I was having regular contractions and because Harper was born at 37 weeks, she did not feel it was safe for me to continue working. At that point we were terrified that the baby would be born premature. We started preparing ourselves for a NICU stay and possible complications. We were also given steroid shots to mature the baby's lungs incase of an early arrival to give the baby the best chance to thrive. We spent the next 6 weeks doing very little to try to prevent our sweet baby from being born. The day we made it to 37 weeks was such a celebration! We were so excited to keep that sweet baby cooking for long enough to be able to be considered full term!<br />
<br />
<br />
On the morning of May 26th, I woke up ready to have a baby! LOL! I had a feeling that things would be happening that day! I started scrubbing bathrooms, mopping floors, and walking laps around the house. We had a family dance party in the living room and I bounced on the yoga ball to try to get things going. After that we spent the rest of the day together enjoying our family of four, knowing that soon enough we would add another member. That afternoon my in-laws called and asked if we were up for a visit and going to dinner (fun fact- the day before Harper was born we had lunch with them and I was in labor by that night). We visited for a while and then headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Around 5pm the contractions started to get regular. At that point they were about every 5 minutes apart. We kept track of them at dinner, but I refused to leave. I was determined to have a yummy dinner! After dinner we headed home to keep timing them and see if they stayed consistent enough to be real labor.<br />

<br />
At 8pm we put the big kids to bed and they were less than 2 minutes apart. I knew it was time and called the on call doctor to see what she thought. She told me to head to the hospital and she would meet me there. My mom came to watch the kids until our friends could get to the house.<br />
When we got to the hospital I was brought to triage to monitor my contractions. At 9pm after getting settled into triage the nurse told me I was only 3 centimeters. I was pretty shocked after such strong contractions, I really thought I was further along than that. She said they would monitor me for an hour and then recheck to make sure I was progressing before admitting me.<br />
<br />
After an hour she came back and told me that from what they could see from monitoring my contractions, they thought the baby was sunny-side up(head facing up instead of towards my butt) and to expect a long labor! She rechecked and confirmed her thinking because I hadn't progressed AT ALL. They decided to have me get on all 4's to hopefully flip the baby into the right position. I stayed in that lovely position for an hour and then went walk around the halls for 20-30 minutes. She came back and rechecked and I still hadn't progressed. As we were talking about what to do next and how I had to progress to be admitted, my water broke!!! And let me tell you it was like they opened the Hoover Dam! Apparently I had an excessive amount of water! It was going everywhere in this tiny little curtained off triage room. The poor nurse was shocked and trying to contain it, but it wouldn't stop! As soon as my water broke the baby's heart rate dropped. They immediately put oxygen on me and flipped me on my side to try to bring it back up. After what felt like eternity it finally came back up and settled down. So at that point there was no going back and we were brought into labor and delivery.<br />
<br />
After getting settled into our room(around 12 am on May 27th), the on call doc came in and checked and I was at 5 centimeters. So in less that 20 minutes I had progressed 2 more centimeters. They assumed that meant the baby had flipped and started running around very quickly to prepare everything, they figured we were going to have a baby very soon.<br />
I was hoping to have an unmedicated birth again and at that point the contractions started getting stronger. I focused on my breathing. At about 1 am the nurse came in to check me again. I hadn't progressed at all and my contraction pattern was the same (meaning baby hadn't flipped). We were so discouraged, but I was still determined to deliver naturally. These contractions were so intense though. Not only did they feel like the normal labor contractions, I was in an immense amount of back pain. At 3 am the nurse came to check me and I was 6 cm. She decided to have me flip to my side and put one leg in a stirrup. She said that a lot of times that position will help the baby to flip. She said she would have me stay in that position for an hour and then recheck. That hour was the hardest hour of my life. It was the absolute worst pain I had ever been in (keep in mind- I had a completely unmedicated birth for Harper) and I questioned everything! I was praying in between every contractions for God to hurry my labor up and for the strength to keep going. The worst part was that because of the position my legs were in, I didn't get relief between contractions because I was in so much pain from the way I was laying. At what seemed like the perfect time, James put on praise and worship music and it immediately changed the mood in the room. I felt an overwhelming peace at that moment.<br />
<br />
At 4am the nurse came in and checked me. I was still 6 centimeters and in so much pain. I didn't know if I could continue. James looked at me and said "this is your chance if you want the epidural we need to do it now." I told the nurse to give me a few minutes and I would decide. Well in those few minutes I immediately felt the urge to push. I knew it was time. I started screaming and honestly kind of freaking out! It went from 6 centimeters to trying not to push in such a short amount of time. James took off to get the nurse (poor thing had just sat down for her "lunch" break) and my mom was by my side. She was trying to stay cool and keep me breathing. The nurse came in and confirmed that I was 9 centimeters and they called the doctor. At that point the room surrounded with so many people and things were crazy. (fun fact #2- I was the only person laboring in labor and delivery that night. Since we didn't know the gender, all of the nurses were so excited they all came in to watch the birth and find out what sweet baby gautreaux was with us.) Everyone was telling me not to push and my body was naturally just pushing the baby out. Luckily the doctor ran in and told me to push when I needed. I think I might have pushed through 2 contractions and then she said to take a deep breath and with 2 more pushes our sweet baby was out. Also so grateful for James who remembered at the last moment to tell my grandma to snap a few iPhone pictures, poor 3rd child almost didn't have a single picture.<br />
<br />
She handed the baby to James and after triple checking he announced our sweet baby was a GIRL and laid her on me!!! We were shocked! I kind of had a feeling it was a girl from the beginning, but didn't totally trust my instincts. James on the other hand was determined this baby was a boy! Evangeline Rose Gautreaux was born at 4:28am on May 27th, 2018.<br />
From the second she was born, Evie was a calm baby. She didn't cry and just laid on me for a long time looking around. When she did start crying it sounded like a little puppy whimpering. She was so sweet and relaxed. We immediately did skin to skin. After skin to skin for a while, they took our sweet girl and weighed her and got all of her stats. She weighed 7lbs. 12oz. and was 19 1/2 in. long. After they weighed her they put her back on me and she immediately latched. Everyone was shocked that she had a perfect latch first try and she nursed for over 30 minutes!<br />
Evie's birth was so hard, but just like the other two kids, it was so perfect in its own way.<br />

Random things I don't want to forget:<br />
-Evie was born at 38 weeks exactly<br />
-Dr. Stute's delivered her<br />
-My mom and grandma were in the room with us when she was born<br />
-When the big kids came to meet her Harper's response was "I told you it was a girl" and poor Cooper cried because he wanted a brother<br />
-We only stayed in the hospital one night, but had to be re-admitted 3 days later for 2 more nights because of her jaundice levels<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You always hear that every birth story is different but I never truly understood that until having Harper. I kind of expected everything to be very similar to Cooper's birth. I thought I would never go into labor and have to be induced. I thought that her heart beat would drop just like his. I thought I would be forced to get an epidural and it might end in a c-section. I thought I would have a big ole baby (Cooper was 8 pounds 11 ounces). Why did I think any of this? I have no clue!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div>
So Sunday October 19th I woke up with contractions about 7 minutes apart. They weren't very intense but pretty regular so we decided to go about our regular Sunday routine and see what happened. We went to church and lunch with my in-laws and then headed home for little man's nap. The whole day the contractions stayed about 7-10 minutes apart. At our 35 week appointment my doctor did an ultrasound to make sure Harper had flipped and was head down. She was able to tell that Harper was already breathing on her own and doing great. At our 36 week appointment I was 2 cm 60% effaced and our doctor told us she didn't think I would make it to my due date. So when I woke up Sunday at 37 weeks with contractions we decided to take a walk around our neighborhood and see what would happen. With Cooper we walked every single day for a month and never went into labor so we didn't really think it would work but we thought what the heck!! </div>
<div>
After a 15 minute walk around our neighborhood the contractions stopped for about an hour so I thought it was just braxton hicks all day and started getting dinner ready. Then the contractions returned and this time they were 3 minutes apart! At this point I kind of started to freak out. Was this it? What do I do? OMG I'm not ready!! Thank goodness I packed the bags yesterday! </div>
<div>
We continued to time them for the next hour and they were at every 2 minutes lasting for a minute so we called the doctor to see what was next. My doctor wasn't on call but the on-call doctor told me to head to the hospital to be monitored. At this point, we still thought it wasn't real labor and we figured they would send me home. So we dropped Cooper off at our sitter and around 7 pm we arrived at the hospital. We decided to call our close family to let them know we were headed to the hospital. We told them not to worry about coming until we knew more but with my mom, grandma, and cousin Hannah (Harper's godmother) that didn't work. They waited about an hour and then they came meet us!!</div>
<div>
After being checked in they brought me to a room to be monitored for an hour then a decision would be made. They thought I might be dehydrated so they weren't really taking me seriously and thought they would stop once I got some fluids in me. Well as I suspected, they were wrong! When I got to the hospital I was 3 cm, 60% effaced and an hour later we were 4 cm but still 60% effaced. The nurses decided to admit me and get the all rolling. They were still a little hesitant because I was only 37 weeks and legally they couldn't do anything if labor stalled. So the decision was made to just watch me all night and see what happened. James, Hannah and I tried to keep the contractions steady and walked the halls for a while. It didn't seem to help much besides giving me a distraction from the pain. labored all night long without making much progress but man oh man were the contractions intense. I was determined to have an epidural-free labor this time and knew from Cooper's birth that breathing was everything. All night long the nurses were worried that if I didn't progress my doctor would send me home the next morning when she got there. All I could think was "How the heck can I go home in this much pain???" Luckily she got there around 9 am and when she checked me I was 5 cm 90% effaced. She gave me the choice of breaking my water, starting pitocin or waiting to see what happened. We decided that breaking my water would probably progress labor quicker and give me more of a chance to have a natural delivery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
At about 9:15 she broke my water and the contractions picked up very quickly. They became super intense and I almost lost it. At about 10:15 I asked to be checked again because they were so strong and in my mind I needed to know if I was getting closer. I had decided if she told me I was only at 6cm I was getting the epidural. They were so strong and so intense I just couldn't imagine much more. The nurse came in and said "OH wow you are a good 8cm". At that point I knew I could do it. One of my friends told me 8-10 cm was the hardest part so I knew if these were the strongest contractions I could do it (not that I even had the option of an epidural anymore)! Within 10 minutes I started feeling the need to push. I started screaming, needing to push and honestly freaking out. I had no idea what was going on and I was terrified! The nurses came running in and checked me and confirmed that in less than ten minutes I had progressed to a full 10 cm and it was time to get the baby out. Little did I know the baby was right there. It was the strangest feeling in the world when my body was naturally pushing the baby out and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could hear my nurse telling the other one to call my doctor and get her here asap. Then a man I had never seen before came in because they didn't think my doctor would make it in time and Harper was coming no matter if we were ready or not. This was the only time I felt I lost my cool. I started screaming and freaking out. At one point this nurse was trying to situate my legs in the stir-ups and I snapped at her and was really ugly, which I felt totally guilty about! I also threw out a few f-bombs that I am not the proudest of. Then at the perfect moment my doctor came running in. It felt like a movie! She came in, counted her tools, looked at me and said "Okay, stop screaming, take a deep breath and push." After that I pushed twice and there was her head! The funniest part was hearing the doctor say"Oh here is her head, let's suction.. oh nope, let's just have this baby!" And just like that Harper was here! I was in complete shock and couldn't believe my little girl was here. The doctor asked me if I wanted to do skin to skin and I obviously said YES as I was flinging the hospital gown off of my body! Now that I think about it I probably looked like a complete idiot stripping my clothes off like it was nothing but I didn't get the immediate skin to skin with Cooper and it meant the world to me to have that with her. It was so special. It felt like time stopped and it was just James, Harper and I. We got to just love on her and soak in the moment. </div>

After that they took her to weigh her and clean her a bit and then gave her to Daddy. Seeing my husband hold our second child I instantly loved him more than ever before. The love he has for his little girl is undeniable and truly breathtaking. After Daddy got some baby snuggles in we decided to try to breastfeed. With Cooper he didn't latch at all until later that evening so I didn't expect much but of course little miss piggy latched immediately and nursed for 30 minutes!! We finally decided to just stop her so she could go to the nursery and get checked out!</div>

Once Harper was in the nursery we found out she had low blood sugar and was breathing a little heavy. They decided to give her an IV with glucose and gave her some more colostrum to see if it would help her blood sugar. They kept her for almost 3 hours (What seemed like the longest 3 hours of my life). I was terrified that something was the matter and was freaking out on the inside. Luckily we had family there to distract me and assure me that everything would be fine! At around 2:00 they brought our sweet girl back and told us everything was fine! I was finally able to breath a little and enjoy our little girl! </div>

Cooper was able to come the next day to meet his sister. As expected, he wasn't a big fan of her. He was excited to see mama and love on me but once he realized she was with me he tried to push her away!! He didn't want to share! HA! As daddy likes to say "He loves her, just doesn't like her right now!"<br />

Now that it is summertime and I will have so much more free time on my hands I have vowed to document our lives more. I want Coop to be able to look back on his childhood and have lots and lots of pictures and memories. Sunday we decided to pull out his pool again and let him swim and BBQ hamburgers for us and his Mimzy and Pop. Cooper is already such a water baby and loves playing in his pool. He loves splashing in the water. Hopefully he will like the beach just as much next month!<br>

<u><br></u>
<u>Weight:</u> 21.3 lbs</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<u>Sleeping</u>: He has a 7pm bedtime that we try to keep up with because too much later and he is a fussy boy! He wakes up around 6 am every morning. We have gotten into a pretty good routine of napping somewhere around 8-9am for a little over an hour. Then an afternoon nap at around 1 for about 1.5-2 hours. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<u>Eating</u>: He is completing on table food now and he is loving it! He has tried all kinds of things and loves them all. I think it is safe to say mac and cheese is his favorite though! He would eat it every day if I let him! He takes a 6 am bottle, has breakfast around 7:30, lunch around 11:45-12, a bottle around 3:30, dinner around 5:30, bottle at 6:45, and LOTS of snack in between. He loves puffs and could literally eat an entire container each day! He also loves to have yogurt as a snack.<br>
<br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<u>Firsts:</u> He stood by himself for the first time this month. He doesn't do it often or for very long right now but it seems like walking might be in our near future. He has tried lots and lots of different foods. Pancakes, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, ravioli, and others. He got his third tooth! This one is on the top and the other top tooth is not far behind. This month Cooper got his first stomach bug. It was so not fun but he took it like a trooper. He was throwing up and still smiling. He ended up giving his "bug" to daddy, mimzy, & pop. Luckily mama didn't get it! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<u>Liking:</u> mama and daddy, walker, "cage", eating, bath time, playing outside, his pool, smiling at everyone that will look his way, sharing food with mama, puffs</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<u>Disliking:</u> when mom has to get boogies out of his nose, being alone, sleeping on his back, grass, changing table</div>

Last time we did a gender reveal party with all of our family and it was amazing. It was so fun to find out with all of our friends and family but this time we had different plans. I was going to be 14 weeks on May 10th which is Hubby's birthday and was Mother's Day weekend. We were a little scared because it was still early and we wanted them to be 100% sure before they told us but knew it would be the perfect birthday present for James. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We hadn't seen the baby since our 7 week ultrasound and had never actually heard it's heartbeat because the ultrasound was done so early they could only pick up the movement and not the sound of baby's heart. So we were excited! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to the same place as last time and she is just perfect. She takes her time and lets you enjoy the experience. I sometime find when you get an ultrasound at the doctor's office they rush and don't let you soak up your baby! Because our stubborn little miss was sitting indian style, it was extremely hard for her to get a good look. She had to try forever to get her to move her legs and show us her stuff but finally she did and we were able to see she was in fact a little girl!! She showed us three different angles and even pulled up a boy at 14 weeks to show me the difference. Let's just say I was very skeptical about it being a girl. I just thought I would be a boy mama forever. </div>

Hannah is my cousin who has been the most amazing person ever since I had Cooper. She is always there to help me or babysit and give us a break. We wanted her to be the first person we told and we even had a surprise for her!! </div>

Choosing Hannah as her Godmother was a no brainer for me. She is the perfect role model for my daughter. She has all of the qualities I want my daughter to strive to be in all aspects of life. Strong, independent, driven, kind, loving, beautiful on the inside and out, passionate, and of course a truly great christian woman who will continually show my daughter who God is and how much he loves her.<br />
<br />
After telling Nanny and Coop we called all of our friends and family and let them in on our news! Then we decided to tell the social media world in one of those cute Pinterest inspired pictures with pink balloons. Well, let me just tell you it was a total FAIL! Our child is of course terrified of balloons and the wind was blowing like a hurricane.<br />
I know it is horrible that we were taking pictures as he was freaking out but I just couldn't help myself!<br />

Yep, it is true!! Our little Gautreaux clan is growing again. We are excited, scared, and everything in between to welcome another baby into our lives. I mean two babies 15 months apart?!? Not scary at all ;) All jokes aside, we know God wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle and are ready for the challenge. So sometime around November 8th we will be adding a new little babe into this world!! </div>

<u>Firsts:</u> crawling!! We now have a crawling boy on our hands. teeth! He went from zero to two teeth in one day. He was such a trooper and barely gave us any sign of teething besides the constant drooling and chewing on everything in sight. puffs! He didn't like them at first but has come around to them and loves snacking on puffs after a meal or for a snack, yogurt! He loves him some yogurt! We have tried a bunch of flavors and he likes them all. We buy the YoBaby yogurt and it is great. It's organic and comes in the cold section with all of the other yogurt which I love (The thought of buying yogurt off of the shelf not refrigerated just doesn't seem right to me)! We got a swing for outside and Cooper loves it! He loves looking around and watching the dogs play.</div>

<u>Sleeping</u>: Still great. He goes down for the night around 7-7:30 and wakes up between 5:30-6 everyday. He takes 2 naps most days but sometimes there is a third one. He is finally sleeping in his bed at night. This was all my fault! I couldn't let go of having him right by me and hubby finally made me put him in his bed! He, of course, did perfectly fine and didn't seem to even notice but I still wake up 20 times during the night and stare at the monitor.</div>

<u>Eating</u>: He is such a great eater! He has now tried green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, butternut squash, bananas, apples, and pears. He eats oatmeal for breakfast and puree for lunch and dinner! He has about 4 bottles a day depending on how he feels. He always has a 6am bottle and 6:30 pm bottle but the mid-morning and afternoon bottles kind of just depend on his mood and if he wants them.<br />

<u>Sleeping</u>: Still great. He goes down for the night around 7-7:30 and wakes up between 5:30-6 everyday. He takes 2 naps most days but sometimes there is a third one. His naps are normally 2.5-3 hours so basically he sleeps most of the day still!! Silly boy loves his sleep!</div>

<u>Eating</u>: We have officially joined the baby food eating club! He has had green beans and sweet potatoes. The first one we tried was green beans. It was hilarious watching him eat for the first time. He was so confused and did not like it one bit. By day four he was tolerating it but still not sure and then we gave him sweet potatoes and the process started all over again. The green beans he had were store bought because my first baby food making experience was a fail and I temporarily gave up, but I decided to give it another try with the blender instead of food processor and it worked SO much better. Now I am totally addicted to making his food. It is healthier and so much cheaper and this lady is always looking for a way to save a buck. He has 3-4 formula bottles a day. One at 6:00am, one at 10:30-11, one at 3:00-3:30 and one at 6:00-6:30. He sticks to his schedule on his own most of the time, but some times he sleeps through the 3:00 bottle and only eats his puree at 5:30.<br />

One year ago today James and I went nervously to our first ultrasound. We were a nervous wreck and the day seemed to drag on forever. 3:45 finally arrived and we met at my doctors office. We sat in the dark room and the nurse put the cold, sticky gel on my belly and immediately a little bean popped on the scream. James clutched my hand as we sat there waiting for a heartbeat. We waited for what seemed like an eternity until the nurse pressed a button and the room was flooded with the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. Our baby's heartbeat. I was immediately overtaken with emotions and the tears started sliding down my cheek. I couldn't believe it. After a bit of trouble, a tiny little baby was finally growing in my belly. James jumped up and kissed me and all we could do was smile. It was everything we had ever wanted. It was our baby! After we left we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings in true James and Malary fashion for wings and a beer for the Daddy-to-be. I excitedly took out the pictures and just stared at our little bean.<br />
One year later, as I stare at that beautiful baby sleeping I am so overwhelmed with happiness and joy. Cooper has brought us closer than I could have ever imagined and a love like no other. This boy is such a blessing in our lives and I thank God every single day for choosing me as his mother.<br />

Christmas time around our house is busy, very busy. That is the way it has always been and we are totally fine with it. We decided a long time ago that we wanted to spend our holidays with our family and if that meant we went to five different places on Christmas then thats what we would do. So this year was no different, well except the fact that we toted around a fourth month old too!! It wasn't easy, but so worth it to see the joy that Cooper brought our families just made my heart so happy.<br />
<br />
Cooper had lots of Christmas jammies and onesies but here are a few of our favorites<br />

We went to our usual spot to get our Christmas tree but this year had so much meaning. Bringing my child to the same place I went to get my Christmas tree as a child is just the best. I loved going there as a little girl and I hope he does too! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTyTiUFP-HGJnPJhyphenhyphenH9pSs-mCjvDB-FU7ep2l9_F357Fg2NaadXa3NG9V-voj9ORSCYm4ZGUswaPmWu15MRJ7N_6-vq4_eMrYJQv-CL6QoGbpka-HrFJjKyciQovsQ1qNqmga4xPSncNH/s1600/IMG_3848.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTyTiUFP-HGJnPJhyphenhyphenH9pSs-mCjvDB-FU7ep2l9_F357Fg2NaadXa3NG9V-voj9ORSCYm4ZGUswaPmWu15MRJ7N_6-vq4_eMrYJQv-CL6QoGbpka-HrFJjKyciQovsQ1qNqmga4xPSncNH/s1600/IMG_3848.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />

Our tree was just as big but I did not put anywhere near the amount of stuff as I did last year! But we still loved it so much and already miss it!<br />

This year we also went to Acadian Village. Every year they decorate the entire place with lights and it is absolutely magical. It is so beautiful to see it all lit up and this church is my favorite!! So beautiful! While we were there we got to see my little brother perform with his high school jazz band! They did great and it worked out to be Cooper's dinner time so he was quiet the entire time! Cooper also got to see Santa for the first time and could care less! We tried everything to get my normally smily boy to give us a grin and we got nothin! Ha!! Little stinker!</div>

We decided that since it was Cooper's first Christmas we would make presents for his grand-parents, great-grand parents, and his nanny. We thought it would be a piece of cake but the joke was on us! It was a mess!! Those cute little toes of his would crinkle up every time I was about to press it on the cup! We got smart the second time and James fed him while I pressed his feet on the cups! We ended up making 9 mugs total and it was a nightmare but to see how happy they all were to get them made it worth it!!<br />

The Saturday before Christmas we went over to James' parents house for our Gautreaux/Gilbert Christmas. His mom (Cooper's Mimzy) went all out and had her house beautifully decorated and they cooked a delicious meal! One of the fun things we did was she got those popper things, but these had whistles in them for us to play songs! It was super cute and fun!! They even had these really stylish crowns for everyone to wear! ;)<br />

Cooper's second visit with Santa went much better than the first one! He ate right before he took his picture so he was a happy baby when he got to Santa. The best part was that there was no line and it was FREE!! I couldn't believe I had spent money on the first no-smile picture and got this happy baby picture for free! We are hoping this Santa is comes back next year!!</div>

One of Cooper's favorite people.. his Nanhan! She is my first cousin and we are three months apart. We grew up more like sisters than cousins and she has been such a big help since Cooper has arrived! Hannah, just like Cooper's nanny, is moving to New Orleans this summer and we are super bummed! But now we have two big ole reasons to go visit this summer!! </div>

Christmas morning was the best!! Cooper decided it would be a good day to sleep in but James and I were so excited we were up at 6 am just watching him sleep! When he finally woke up around 7 he was in the best mood! We figured he wouldn't care about opening presents Christmas morning but we were wrong! He loved it! He would get so excited when he could see what the present was! So cute!! We got to open our presents together and then he went down for his morning nap while James and I got ready for the busy day ahead. We had lunch in Baton Rouge at James' grandmothers, went visit my family when we got back and then finished the night at Maw-Maw's with the other side of my family. It was busy but great. Cooper did fantastic and got so much love, attention and lots of fun gifts!<br />

Another month has come and gone and I can't believe it! Our little man is growing like a weed and learning new things every day. We have had a very eventful month that included 3 different illnesses, the holidays, and a two week break for mommy and Cooper to spend together.<br />

<u>Weight:</u> 16 lbs 2 oz. We were actually really shocked by this! We both thought he weighed more! It sure feels like he does! ;) </div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfbf9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<u>Sleeping</u>: I thank God every single day for this boy's sleeping habits. I keep saying our next child will never sleep since we have been so blessed with a boy that could sleep all day and night long! He goes to bed at 7:30 (ish) every night and wakes up around 5-5:30 every morning. He takes 3-4 naps during the day depending on who he is with. At the sitters he sleeps for 3 hours straight so he only takes 2 naps but with me he doesn't get to sleep as long (this mama has errands to run and can't sit at home all day for this little stinker to sleep the day away) so he takes 3-4 shorter naps</div>

<u>Eating</u>: He started rice cereal in his bottles about 3 weeks ago. He was up to 7 oz of formula and it just wasn't holding him up and he was also spitting up a lot so we started putting it in his bottles and he is doing so much better! He also started eating cereal with a spoon Christmas day! The first two days we tried he literally cried the entire time. It was a total fail and we thought we might have to stop and wait a few weeks but by the third day he was a pro (okay not even close to a pro but not screaming the entire time). He loves the spoon but isn't really sure what to do once it is in his mouth!<br />

<u>Firsts:</u> Eating rice cereal with a spoon, first Christmas, first trip to Baton Rouge, first time getting sick (he got a little cold but didn't get the stomach virus or strep throat that I had, so weird but I am so thankful he didn't the really bad ones), </div>

<u>Liking:</u> mama and daddy, swing, bouncer, baby K'tan, activity mat, Sophie the teething giraffe, jumperoo, high chair, bed, Aden and Anais blankets, bath time, and he is finally starting to like the dogs! Since he was born he pretty much ignored them but lately he pets them and watches them as they walk around or play.</div>

<u>Disliking:</u> still not a big fan of the car seat but it is much better than before! I can finally drive with two hands again! He is not a fan of the exercauser, we tried multiple times but he would be fine for about five minutes and then cry. We just got a jumperoo and he is loving it. I think it is easier for him to move around and jump. </div>

I am not the kind of person who has ever really cared about weight. I have never dieted, it is something I have just never really had to worry about. I have never been that skinny but in my opinion I am just normal. Well while I was pregnant I got really worried about my post-baby body. I was scared I would not be able to lose the baby weight. Luckily I had an 8 lb 11 oz baby and only gained 26 lbs during my pregnancy so I lost the baby weight within the first 4 weeks. After that I started thinking about what I weighed in high school (10 pounds less than my pre-baby weight) and decided I wanted to weigh that again. I still haven't really dieted, I just started eating smaller portions and I am now 2 pounds away from my high school weight. I really never thought it would mean that much, but it does.It feels great to start to feel a little better about my body. I know it will never be the same (thanks to even wider hips and stretch marks) but it is a start. Now I just need to do a little toning before summer!! </div>

<i>new dad @ 4 months</i><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For a while Cooper only wanted me. If he was uncontrollably screaming I was the only thing to calm him down but this last month he has been growing fonder of James. He has been wanting his Daddy all the time and it is making James so happy. When James gets home at night Cooper gets so excited and wants to sit with James and watch tv. The funniest thing is watching James feed Cooper with the spoon. James has very little experience with babies so feeding a baby was a foreign concept for James. All I can do is laugh watching those two as James tries to get the spoon in his mouth and not get cereal all over the baby and himself!<br />

<u>Weight:</u> He hasn't been back to the doctor yet but I am thinking at least 15 pounds maybe even 16. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfbf9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<u>Height:</u> Like his weight we aren't quite sure but he is definitely a long one!! we are having so much trouble with his jammies because they are all too short!! </div>

<u>Sleeping</u>: Sleep is still great! He doesn't really have a sleep schedule so it is hard to really plan anything but he is really good about sleeping anywhere especially if I have the Baby K'Tan. He sleeps normally from around 9-10pm to 5 am everyday. It is crazy the internal clock this boy has. Every single day 5:00am!! It is just so weird how he does it!!!</div>

<u>Eating</u>: This boy is such a crazy eater. He will go so long between feedings. We have been feeding him on demand since he was 5 weeks old and it works well for us because he actually eats instead of playing around. Sometimes he goes 8-9 hours during the day and then sometimes he wants to eat in 4 hours. It is so unpredictable as to when he will eat but let me tell you once he decides he is hungry you better be ready! He goes from 0 to 100 in like 10 seconds! He is up to 6.5 ounces every bottle and soon we will have to add rice cereal because the formula is just not holding him up. </div>

<u>Firsts:</u> I finally decided to order a baby K'tan last month and it has changed my life! This boy loves to be worn. He would be content if I wore him all day long every day. He could be screaming and I put him in and he is instantly calmed. It is the only way we can grocery shop! He also tried out his stroller for the first time a last week and loves it! He was so mesmerized by the people. We didn't hear a peep out of him for almost an hour! He started holding things with a purpose. Before he would grab on to things but now he will hold things like his pacifier for long periods of time! Cooper had his first Thanksgiving last week. He, of course, had no clue what was going on but it gave me a great excuse to dress him up and spend time with our amazing family. Booboo got his first cold this month as well! It was only a small one but he had a runny nose and cough that sounded terrible. It broke my heart to see him like that. </div>

<u>Liking:</u> bouncer, swing, thumb, stroller, mom and dad's bed, baby K'tan, Aden and Anais blankets (he loves to cuddle them), outside, country music, tv, football to be exact. He will watch football all day long! I have no idea why or how he even knows but it is so crazy how he stops crying when you put it on and cries when you change the channel! Lastly his Mama!! This boy loves me so much!! It seriously melts me heart! Thanksgiving morning we were laying in bed and he was in between James and I and he got a little fussy so I put him on my chest and he cooed and wrapped his arms around me!! I lost it… totally cried like a baby! </div>

I am doing great!! Being a mom is just the most fulfilling thing I have ever done! Everyday is a new challenge, but having his precious smile to look at makes it all worth it. I still haven't gotten back into a complete routine with our life. I am used to having a pretty clean house, clothes done, no dishes but now a days all of that is out of the window. I can barely keep my eyes open once I get home and doing any of that is out of the question, Cooper is so much more fun!! I am hoping this month I can get a little better routine going because I am starting to go crazy with all the chaos! Otherwise I am so completely happy with my life right now. I am so lucky to have my dream job and dream family!!</div>

James is doing great as well. He has been working really long hours, which totally stinks because it cuts into our family time. He still makes time to help around the house and with Cooper. He will get home after working 12+ hours and still rock Cooper to sleep or feed him while I get a shower. He is just the best husband and father. </div>

This year I have so much to be thankful for, an amazing husband, beautiful baby boy, great job, family, friends, and happiness. I mean I am living my dream life. I have been waiting so long for this point in my life and it is marvelous and more than I could have ever dreamed possible. These boys of mine have me wrapped around their fingers. They are simply the best gift I could have ever asked for and I thank God every single day for them. They bring a smile to my face even on my worst days. My family and friends are so supportive and loving, I couldn't ask for better people to be around my son. My students are the best. I am so lucky to have gotten a job at such an amazing school with such great students. They love learning so much and that makes me so happy. I seriously love my job! I am the happiest I have ever been and look forward to what the future holds for my little family. We have love, laughter, and happiness and thats all I could ask for.<br />

About a year ago we reconnected with some high school friends that we had drifted apart from after graduation. I am not really sure how we even reconnected but we did and I am so very happy about that! They have proved to be some of our best friends and I can't imagine our life without them! They have been there for us throughout our pregnancy journey and are such a big part of Cooper's life. They truly love our little boy and it melts my heart.<br />
This year we decided to have our first annual "Friendsgiving". Everyone chose a dish or two that was special to their own family. Most of the dishes were the common turkey, dressing, green bean casserole but we had a few that some people weren't used to. Apparently homemade mac and cheese is not a staple at everyones Thanksgiving?! It sure is at my house! Actually my favorite!! And sweet deviled eggs?! I have never heard of them but our friends brought them and they were a hit!!<br />
Our night was filled with laughter and sweet kisses for our little Coop. He, as always, was the center of attention but he sure doesn't mind! He was soaking it in and smiling for everyone!! He wore his first real (non onesie) flannel shirt and his little jeans and he was precious!! Whoever said dressing boys wasn't fun is crazy!! I love dressing this little man up everyday!!<br />

This year I have so much to be thankful for and I am so very thankful for our sweet friends. They have no clue how much it means to James and I to have such positive people in our sons life. Even though they don't have kids they are all so natural and loving towards our boy. I can't wait for the years to come with such great friends!!!<br />

Wow how time is flying now a days. I feel like Cooper is changing every single day! This month he has started smiling, rolling over, sleeping all night, taking naps in his crib, blowing bubbles, and watching tv. This boy has stolen our hearts more than we could have ever imagined. He has the sweetest personality already. He smiles and flirts with everyone and cuddles into our chests when he is sleepy. He is just the best thing ever!! </div>

<u>Sleeping</u>: This dude loves his sleep!! He has been sleeping all night since he was 5 weeks old!!! Thank you Baby Jesus!! I am not sure how I would be able to work full time if he was up all night!! He is still in bed with us which is probably why he sleeps all night. I think he would probably be just fine in his bed but it is mommy with the problem!! I just can't let it go. I absolutely love sleeping with him. We sleep chest to chest with my arms wrapped around him and it is the best!! Being gone from him all day makes it even harder for me to make him go in his own bed because I just want to cuddle him!! He also loves sleeping on his belly. We tried his back for a while and soon realized that he hated it. I am learning that just because the "experts" say to do something I should not always listen. I am now a firm believer in what works for baby and not what the "experts" say. </div>

<u>Eating</u>: Still a very sour subject in our house. At 6 weeks old I stopped nursing completely. It was just not working for us. Once I got the job I decided to do night feeding but because he had a bottle all day long he just wasn't having it. He would literally scream for 30 minutes, latch on and eat for 5 and then start screaming again. It just wasn't worth it for either of us. He wasn't getting what he needed from 5 minutes a day and I was getting emotionally drained from it. So as a family we made the decision to stop. I sometimes feel like a failure because so many women do it for so much longer and it doesn't help that some people are just not supportive. I find some of the pro-breastfeeding mamas are very judgmental and it has to be all or nothing. I am learning to honestly say "Screw you" to them and not let it bother me. My baby will be just fine and that is all that matters. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfbf9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
He is now on formula full time. He eats about every 5 hours!! At about 5 weeks we started feeding him on demand. We knew he wasn't really hungry every 3 hours and would hardly ever finish a bottle. The first time we tried it he went 4.5 hours! Eventually he put himself on a schedule and is eating about every 5 hours during the day and then at night he eats at about 8:00-9:00 and then at 5:30am. At 7 weeks we moved him up to 5 ounces and he is happy as could be with that. He still struggles with some gas issues but nothing like it was at the beginning. Last week we switched him from the Enfamil Newborn to the Enfamil Infant formula since he will soon be too old for the newborn! It was a bit of an adjustment with his gas issues so he had some belly aches while getting used to the new one but he is adjusting quickly! Thank God because I hate seeing my little man in pain. </div>

<u>Liking:</u> He is still a big ol cuddle bug!! This fella just loves being held (especially by his mama). He also still loves his swing. But we made the mistake of playing the music one day and now he loves it and wants it playing all of the time!! He loves smiling and cooing. He is so silly and is constantly making crazy faces at us. He is beginning to like his play mat and hitting all of his toys that are hanging. He LOVES being outside. The first time we took him to my moms and went to the barn he was in heaven. He was so amazed at all the things to see. He is definitely going to be a little country boy! Still loving the car and carseat. He also likes country music (mommy and daddy are so happy about this)!! He is getting better with bath time and diaper changes but I don't know if he "likes" it yet, he just doesn't scream anymore ;)</div>

I didn't understand what people meant when they said it just keeps getting better, but I totally understand now. Seeing this little boy grow and develop is amazing. The first time he smiled at me I cried! It is just so sweet to see your baby doing new things. He is slightly obsessed with his mama (I am not complaining one bit ;) ) and if I walk into the room he lights up which just melts my heart into a million pieces. The first time I got to the sitter's house and he was eating and he stopped and looked at me and smiled was so dang precious!! It is so fulfilling as a mother to have your child favor you and to make them so happy. I was so scared that going back to work would make him get more attached to the sitter but he still loves his mama best!! </div>

James is still doing such an amazing job at being a dad. He is loving the fact that Cooper is growing and changing so much! It is so sweet to see him get so excited when Coop does something for the first time. The first time he smiled was at James and it was the sweetest moment ever!! He is so helpful around the house and with baby now that I am working. He never complains about helping with laundry, dinner, diapers, feedings. He just does it and I am so grateful for him. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the past three years James and I have visited a local pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. We always love going there and walking around the many pallets of pumpkins and choosing the "perfect" ones. We used to also walk around watching all of families thinking about one day having one of our own to bring. This year we were able to bring our little man with us. Before I had Cooper we decided that whether he would remember things or not we would do them. We want to enjoy every moment with him and include him in the many family traditions we have already started in our first two years of marriage. I am sure we looked crazy among the many toddlers and young children walking around with a 6 week old! Cooper wasn't exactly feeling the patch though! He had kind of a fussy morning but we decided to take our chances and go anyway so he didn't exactly give us cute smiling pictures but hey we had fun and he was cute anyway!! </div>

I am pretty much obsessed with buying my boys matching outfits!! I love how cute they look together. So of course they needed coordinating shirts for Coop's first pumpkin patch visit!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On September 29, 2013 Cooper was baptized at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Scott, Louisiana. This church has so much meaning to me. This was the church I grew up in. I made my first communion here, was confirmed here, and was married here. So when it came to baptizing Cooper, I of course was so excited to spend another special day in the building that carries so many amazing memories for us. </div>

The gown Cooper was baptized in is almost 50 years old. It was the gown my mom was baptized in and then she had me and my brother baptized in it and now my little man. It was hand-made by my grandfathers aunt and is so simple and pretty.<br />

Wow! I can't even begin to understand how fast this month has gone by. I feel like time is literally just flying by and I don't think I like it. It is so cool to see Coop growing and changing but I feel like it is going too fast. This past month has been so incredible. There have definitely been some tough times but overall this is so amazing. Seeing this little guy that we created grow and change is so cool. He is the perfect combination of James and I. He has James' cheeks, ears, & eyes and he has my nose, lips, finger, & toes. His hair is actually from both of us! We both had lots of dark hair when we were born, so it will be to see how it changes as he gets older. He is perfect in every single way! </div>

<u>Weight:</u> 10lb 13oz That is right... over 2 pounds since birth! It is actually 2lbs in 2 weeks. Our little chunky but is a growing boy for sure!! Like most newborns he lost weight by the time we left the hospital but by two weeks old he had gained it back and now has gained lots more!! </div>

<u>Sleeping</u>: This past month has had its ups and downs in the sleep department. The first night at home was horrible! We were up all night and by the next morning we looked and felt like zombies. We soon realized sleeping in our bedroom was too hard and it was much easier to stay up with him. We stayed in the living room for 2 weeks and soon realized Cooper only liked to sleep on top of us. If we put him in the basinet or pack n play he would wake up every hour and if we put him on top of us he would sleep 3 to 4 hours. So as you can probably guess we chose sleep! I have always said I would never let my child sleep in bed with me but I guess the joke was on me! Cooper has been in bed with us since week 2! Now a days he sleeps 4 to 5 hours at a time. We normally feed him around 9:00-10:00, 2:00, and 5:30-6 and I am totally okay with that. I have talked to some friends that their babies wake up every two hours so I feel pretty blessed with his sleeping habits. </div>

<u>Eating</u>: Man oh man this is a very sour subject for us. From day one we have had problems. I had planned to exclusively breast feed for at least 6 weeks and then once I got a job go to morning and night feeding and formula during the day. Well since the beginning Cooper has had stomach issues. This boy has gas like a grown man. At first we thought it was my diet so I literally cut out everything, I was pretty much only eating cheerios (without milk), chicken breast (without seasoning), and wheat-thins. It sucked but I felt it would be so worth it once Cooper's gas issues went away but that never happened. He continued to have lots of gas and lots of crying spells. I could just see the pain in his eyes and it broke my heart. And on top of that Cooper had jaundice. The doctor wanted us to put him in the sunlight and give him sugar water and start supplementing to get as much fluid as possible to get him to use the bathroom more and flush the jaundice out. That was a really hard decision for me. I so badly wanted to only nurse him at first but I knew my babies health needed to come before my personal needs. I decided that as long as I could still nurse him that meant he was getting all the good things he needed from me so we chose to supplement until the jaundice was gone. It took a lot longer than expected to get the jaundice out of his system and with all of his belly issues it has been a nightmare. It has been a month of trial and error and just trying to figure out what would work with his system. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfbf9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
So as of this weekend we have decided to give him formula during the day and I nurse him at night. His belly issues have gotten better because we put Karo Syrup in his bottles. Letting go of my dreams of exclusively breastfeeding was so hard and I still struggle with it but I just try to tell myself it is fine. He has already gotten so many beneficial things from the time I have been nursing him. He has obviously done well with the formula by his 2lb gain so I am happy to finally getting this pain to go away. Let's just hope it continues to work!</div>

<u>Liking:</u> This little guy is a cuddle bug!! He loves being held and just rocking and being loved on. It is absolutely the sweetest thing and melts my heart.

I am doing really great! Motherhood is everything I could have imagined plus so much more. I am loving every minute of having Cooper in my life. I think the hardest part of being a mom is being confident in my decisions. I just want to do everything right and sometimes I have to remind myself that no one is perfect and every new mom makes mistakes. Lack of sleep is surprisingly not affecting me as much as I thought it would. It seems like my body has just adjusted to my new sleep schedule. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight but my body is no where near being back to normal. After having an 8lb 11 oz baby I didn't have much more to lose so the weight came off way easier than I could have imagined, so I guess I am grateful for that but these stretch marks and body changes will take some getting used to. </div>

A couple weeks ago I was offered a 4th grade teaching position at my dream school. I was beyond excited to finally be a real teacher and especially at such a great school that is literally 2 seconds from our house but the thought of leaving little man is terrifying. We never thought I would get a job after the school year already started so in my mind I figured I would just be a SAHM until an opening became available so when this opportunity arose so quickly after Coop being born it was a shock. It is something I can't pass up for so many reasons. Having a job will take a lot of stress off of James financially, it will allow us to provide Cooper with all of his needs (and most of his wants), and it will allow me to follow my dreams of being a teacher. Cooper will be going to my aunt's mom's house where she is an in-home sitter for 2 other kids. She is great with kids and I know he will love it there but I will miss him so much! I guess weekends will have a whole new meaning now! Being this little boy's mother is the best gift I could have ever been given and I am thanking God every single day for it.</div>

James is doing a fantastic job at being a dad. He had pretty much no experience with babies before Cooper was born so he was terrified to say the least about having our own little one, but you would never know it now a days. Actually within the first 24 hours he became a natural at it. He is a pro a swaddling!! He is such a hands-on dad and loves Cooper so much. It is truly amazing to see the love this man has for our son. He was able to spend the first week at home with us and it was such a special time for our family. We were able to spend lots of time bonding and becoming a family of 3. Now that James is back at work things are a little different. He works all day and then when he gets home he hurries to wash his hands and grabs Coop as soon as he can!! He spends the entire night playing, cuddling, feeding, and changing little man. He is such a great dad, it just melts my heart!</div>

The past three weeks have flown by and before I forget any of the details of the absolute best day of my life I want to take the time to write Cooper's birth story so I can always look back on such a special day.<br />
<br />
A couple weeks before Cooper was born I started to feel the pains of pregnancy. Up until then there were some rough patches but overall the pregnancy was amazing and I really enjoyed my being pregnant. By week 37 I was feeling it. I was just done. It was August in Louisiana and I was exhausted. I wasn't sleeping, I was swollen, and very uncomfortable so when the doctor informed me that I wasn't making much progress the question of induction was brought up. My grandmother and my mother had all of their children late and the thought of being pregnant more than 40 weeks was a no go for this mama to be. I wanted my little man here as soon as possible. So we scheduled my induction for August 26th at 10 pm.<br />

When the day finally came it seemed like the day dragged on forever. I just wanted it to be 10pm and in the hospital. My grandmother and I spent the day around town trying to stay busy and get any last minute items purchased and ready. Once James got off of work we went and grabbed dinner, dropped the puppies off, and then headed home to wait for 10pm. At 9pm we called the hospital to make sure there was a room available and then started packing the car up and getting ready to head out. Once arriving at the hospital we were checked into our labor and delivery room and started getting the ball rolling. The nurses gave me some meds to soften my cervix and then in four hours they would check to see if I needed another dose or if they would start the pitocin. We were told to just relax and try and get some sleep. Well that is easier said than done... at least for me. Hubs was snoring on the couch all night long while I tried to keep busy watching tv and playing on the iPad. At 3:30 the nurse came in and checked my cervix. She decided I would not get another dose of meds and at around 6:00am they would start pitocin. Even though we were being induced I still had hopes of having a semi-natural birth without pain medication. I knew that getting pitocin would make it a lot harder but I decided to just see what happened. I was not against the epidural I just felt like my body was created to birth children and so many women before me did it so why couldn't I?<br />
<br />
Well 6:00am came and went and the nurse never came to give me the pitocin (there was an emergency delivery that required all of the nurses). Around 6:30am James and I were talking and laughing and all of a sudden I felt a rush of water. I looked at James and said "Either my water just broke or I peed myself!! Go get the nurse!" When the nurse came in she confirmed my water had indeed broken and I was 2cm dilated. She was surprised my water had broken on its own and we decided to hold off on the pitocin and see if things progressed naturally. She knew my wishes and even though she didn't think things would progress on their own she decided to give me a little time to see. Well she was wrong, things started progressing and they progressed very quickly. By 11am I was at 7 1/2 cm and still doing it without an epidural. The contractions were intense but breathing is everything. It is crazy how much breathing helps the labor process.<br />
<br />
At about 11:30 everything changed. Cooper's heart rate dropped. As in it went from the 150's to the 50's and thats when all hell broke loose. I lost my breathing, people were running around like crazy, the nurses were flipping me around in all different positions to try and bring it back up but nothing was working. At this point I was gone. I would open my eyes but I couldn't see, I couldn't even really comprehend what people were saying to me, and the pain began. And man was it intense, it is crazy the difference breathing makes! The doctor came in and they had me signing papers in case an emergency c-section was needed and at that moment I knew I needed to get the epidural. My biggest fear was having to have an emergency c-section and not being able to be awake during the birth of my child. I knew I needed to get the epidural just incase. Being awake for my baby's first breath and cry were much more important to me than my dreams of having my baby without pain medication.<br />
<br />
So the anesthesiologist was brought in and the epidural was put in. But it wasn't as easy as that. The epidural did not work!! I was still feeling everything, actually I was feeling more!! The pain was way more intense with an epidural than without. I know it sounds crazy but it was and I was freaking out. That was the only time I raised my voice! I had done so well staying calm until then. The anesthesiologist didn't believe me. She was saying "You will still feel something, it doesn't take all the pain away" as I am pretty much crawling up the bed in pain. I was pissed! Luckily my nurse knew something wasn't right and went to get another doctor. They ended up taking the first one out and putting a new one in and it worked! Within a minute I felt relief and knew it was working.<br />
<br />
While all of this was going on they gave me some medicine to slow my contractions down and hopefully bring his heart rate up so that we could avoid a c-section. Luckily between the medicine and the epidural it worked and slowly his heart rate began to rise. It was such a relief to know he was better. The last three centimeters went by so slow! I didn't get to 10 cm until 5pm! Luckily I had such a great support system there to keep me distracted and entertained! We had my mom, grandmother, best friend (Cooper's godmother), my aunt, my cousin, my brother, and James' parents there to support us throughout the labor process. It was so nice to have them there. When I was contracting I was able to tune them out and concentrate on my breathing but when I wasn't contracting I was able to visit and make the time go by faster and then once the epidural was in we just laughed and talked all afternoon. They were so supportive and I am so grateful they were there for me on such a special day. It meant the world to James and I.<br />

At around 5:15 our family went out to the waiting room and I began pushing. We chose to ask Cooper's godmother, Ashlyn, to be in the room taking pictures while he was born. She is my absolute best girlfriend and I knew how honored she would be to witness her godson's birth. We have been best friends for 17 years and she is like the sister I never had. At first it was so hard because I didn't know what I was doing. And with the epidural I couldn't really feel what I was doing either. But after a few pushes I got the hang of it. After an hour and a half of pushing our little man was born at 6:39pm on August 27, 2013. It was the best moment of my life. Seeing that beautiful boy for the first time and hearing him cry took my breath away. All I could do was cry. He was perfect in every single way and he was our baby. When the doctor placed him on my chest and I looked into those eyes I couldn't believe that the baby I have been praying for was finally here. He is everything I ever wanted and more. The nurses took him to check him out, clean him, and weigh him while the doctor sewed me up. Once he was cleaned and weighed they brought him to me for skin to skin and to try and breastfeed. I couldn't believe how fast he began rooting and looking to nurse. He had a little trouble latching the first time but eventually got the hang of it. After a little while they needed to wrap him up and we allowed our family to come back in and meet our beautiful 8lb 11oz baby boy! The love and support we received was so special. Sharing such a special moment with people that love us so much is something I will never forget.<br />

Cooper's birth was far from easy and very eventful but he is here and healthy and that is all that matters. We are absolutely smitten with this boy and just can't get enough of him. He has brought new meaning into our lives and changed both of us in so many ways. All of the small things don't matter anymore, all that matters is our little family.<br />
