Cohen Update

We went to the doctor Friday and Cohen now weighs 13 lbs and 1 oz., can you believe it? I can't and on Thursday he was officially two months old. You always here everyone say how fast they grow up and I haven't really experienced that until now. It is very bittersweet. I mean I can't wait for the moments when he will start to talk and put words into sentences, but I at the same time I like little things and he is not so little anymore. He is starting to coo and smile more and more, I mean those little gummy smiles are just to die for. I love when he wants to cuddle and snuggle on my chest. He is just a sweetheart. I know when I found out that I was having a boy I was a little dissappointed at first because I have no clue what to do with them and everyone reminded me that there is nothing like a son loving his mother. ( I wouldnt trade him for anything) I am starting to realize how true that is when he fusses in Taylors arms he hands him to me and he stops and it makes me feel so good. Anyways just a quick update and a few thoughts....

Thanksgiving

I thought I would keep up with this blogging alot better than I have, but I never realized having a baby would mean less multitasking. Its hard to get a way for even a minute without him realizing I am not in the same room as him. Anyways I am soo excited about the holidays, I love getting to spend time with my family. We went to Abilene and I felt like I hardly saw my baby b/c everyone was spoiling and holding him. Here are some pictures of Abilene, oh and we got my moms headstone in and it looks amazing...Hope you like it mom. 

Halloween

Sorry it has taken me so long to post Halloween pictures. Its hard to get a minute by myself, so I wait till Taylor gets home so he can watch Cohen and I can finally have some "me" time. My aunt Lynn and cousin Lindsey came into town and we all had so much fun it was great to see them. We literally put Cohen's costume on long enough to take pictures in.

New Baby!!

Well Cohen has finally arrived all 7 lbs 19 1/2 in. of him, he actually came on his due date! Crazy I know...how often does that happen. It started Friday night on our way to date night I started feeling tightening and menstrual type cramps and of course I wasn't sure if they were contractions bc I didnt know what contractions felt like (I've never been through this). So I called Tiffany to ask her all about it, I started having Taylor time them and they were about 10 mins apart. We got home, got to bed and at 2 am in the morning I woke feeling pain and so I started to take a bath and I had to tell Taylor I was taking one other wise if he would have woke up and I wasnt there he would have freaked out. So when I told him I had felt like I had gone to the bathroom in my pants, so I got in the bath and still felt like I was going to the bathroom. I texted Tiffany again b/c I wasnt sure. I woke Taylor up to time again and they were about 2 mins apart, Taylor convinces me to go to the hospital and on they way there they were only 1 min apart. We get to the hospital check in and sure enough my water was broken. Now I know what that was...it wasnt me going to the bathroom in my pants. I was so blessed I had a really fast delivery...The nurse had checked me and I was 5 cm and then two hours later the doctor comes in to check and asks if I am ready to push...I had no clue I had progressed so quickly b/c I hear stories of people being labor for forever that's what I expected. Needless to say I had this huge fear of labor and it wasn't at all what I expected. It was all worth it. and now he's here and I am loving being a mom. It's so amazing how God works and how He chose me to be Cohen's mother. I love watching Taylor dote all over his new baby boy! He's amazing and has helped me so much this past week. 

I have been inspired!

 Well guys I have been inspired...I have been wanting to do this blog thing for a while, but I just didn't know how to begin or really I haven't been able to figure out my computer. Its weird going from a PC to a Mac. And I thought Ashley and Tiffany started blogs so why not me. I thought it would also keep friends and family updated on us and the baby, but we all know more importantly the baby. 

 I am so excited that he is almost here, but a little nervous, but I guess who isn't when you are a first time mommy. I can't not wait to see this person thats been growing in me for the past 10 months! I can't believe that the time is here, already. But then I look back on it and I don't really know if I know what its like not to be pregnant. I'll post some nursery pictures soon and what could be my last belly picture so stay tuned!!
