Cooper's First Doctor's Appt

We took Cooper Daniel to his first pediatrician's appointment and it went really well. He weighed 7 lb 8 oz at birth and it is normal for a newborn to lose up to 10% of their body weight. Cooper weighed 7 lb 5 oz when discharged from the hospital and was up to 7 lb 9.5 oz today! They said it usually takes 10-14 days for babies to return to their birth weight. Does that tell you how much he's eating?! Everything checked out good head to toe, no problems at all. And he tolerated the car ride which pleases us as well!

Cooper Daniel is here

It's a boy! Cooper Daniel was born on April 2, 2009 at 5:28 am weighing 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20 inches. Labor started in the afternoon on the 1st. We got to the hospital (Alexian Brothers) at 2 am and it wasn't long after that. Everything went so great. He was alert and quiet right from the moment he was born. We got home from the hospital on Friday afternoon. Big brother Gabe has been slowly checking him out. In case you're wondering, there isn't too much behind the name Cooper other than we just really loved it. It is an english name meaning barrel maker. Daniel is Paul's middle name and a good biblical name. It's hard to believe we are 4 now! It is such an amazing experience having children. The best events in our lives!
