15 days early but still perfect

On Tuesday June 9th at 9:25 pm I had an emergency C-section and Cooper Isaak was born into this world (Isaak was my paternal grandfather's name). He was 5 pounds 1 ounce and 17.5 inches. I was discharged from the hospital on Friday but our Cooper is still in the NICU. He appears to be doing fairly well but will need to stay there for a bit yet. We have lots of pictures but not much energy or time to get them from the camera to the computer. The NICU is 45 minutes away in good traffic so we spend the day with him and then go home and crash.

We are totally in love and all the pain and scariness and as-yet-unknown cost is so totally worth it. Being a mom is just as wonderful as I always knew it would be.

I will update lots more as my pain diminishes and once our boy is home. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts!
