Baby Cole

Baby Cole is here! We are so happy to have him join our family! 

Quick delivery info so that I have record of it: I had on and off contractions for two days starting Sunday, May 20th. Tuesday night I started really timing them and decided to go to the hospital at 1:30 am. They told me I was at a 3 and should walk the halls for an hour. So while walking laps in the hallway my water actually broke! They told me they couldn't send me home at that point :) About 5 hours later this sweet little boy was born Wednesday morning at 8:59, weighing 8 lbs even and 21 inches long.

On Thursday we were able to go home!

Jacob met us at our door yelling "Baby Cole is here!" He had actually come to see us at the hospital the day before with Aunt Cory, but he was happy to see us coming home.

My mom and dad had been watching Jacob on Thursday. I was so happy they came to meet Cole! Thanks Mom and Dad for helping us!

One proud, older brother.

Lots of sleeping and naps lately...

John's parents, Mckenzie, and Austin came up for the weekend. Thanks for your help! They also entertained Jacob on a kayaking trip which he loved!

We really are grateful for all the friends and family who have helped us the last week and a half. Again thank you to Cory, our parents, friends who watched Jacob and have brought dinners. We couldn't have done it without you!

The transition was a little hard on Jacob. We've been taking naps when and wherever we can get them. Poor guy. This last week has been easier while we figure out what works and what doesn't with two kids.

Jacob really does love having a brother though! "Two brothers laying down!"-Jacob

Here are some pictures taken at the hospital. Cole is one day old here.

He's just as sweet as can be! He's a calm and mellow baby, and we are so happy he's here with us. We are blessed to share our lives with both of our sweet boys :)
