Cooper John Markham

He has arrived! Our sweet little boy came to us on March 17, 2011!! He is perfect. We are loving being parents. Labor started wednesday night with my water breaking and I had him 23 hours later. I will do another post on my labor story on my pregnancy blog. Here are a few pictures of the delivery day...
There is no feeling like holding your baby for the first times
So cute!
Cody holding Cooper for the first time, this moment was priceless. Cooper just stared at Cody knowing exactly who he was.
One proud dad
7lb 11oz. He was a good sized baby. A lot bigger than we had thought.
Meeting our son!

A visit from the exited inlaws
Cody comforting me while in labor
When ever I would have a contraction Cody would use counter pressure while I would breath through them. It was amazing how much it would help with the pain,
The bath tub was my "epidural"! It was amazing at helping me relax.

This is Elizebeth. I hired her as my duala to help me through labor. She was amazing! I couldnt have done it with out her help.
:) This is Codys favorite picture. The hospital gown was HUGE on me.
