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!!
