Welcome to the World Cooper

I am too tired to post a lot tonight, but I wanted to update you all and let you know that we are all doing great! I promise to post more later this week. I am so in love with our son and am sure that you all will quickly get tired from hearing about him. He is truly amazing, and I feel so blessed to be part of his life. Austin & I can only grow from this experience and we will learn so much from Cooper while teaching him so muh as well. Our love for each other has already grown as well.

Here are the mini-details:
Cooper Riley was born at 7:20 am on Tuesday, March 14th.
He weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces and was 22.5 inches long (my doctor said we made the right decision to do the c-section and do it early!)
He has straight brown hair and blue eyes which we hope will stay, and he is absolutely beautiful and sweet as can be! :)

I managed through the c-section fairly well (more details to follow), and we got to come home on Friday around lunchtime. Things at home have been going fairly well so far, but we luckily have had the help from my parents and will have my mom stay another week to help as well (my dad has to leave tomorrow morning to go back to work). That is all for now because I am tired and need to feed the little one soon! :) More to follow!

Here's a picture for now - we have many many more!
