The Premie is now 6!!

A couple of hours after he was born

On the ventilator because his lungs were immature



Me visiting Cooper



Wow! Where does the time go?  It seriously only feels like yesterday that the ambulance had to come pick me up because I was bleeding.  Cooper, you scared your momma and daddy bad!  Kaylee and Chase had to go stay at the neighbors while daddy and I went in the ambulance to the hospital.  Once we got to the hospital Dr. Hodges decided it was a good idea that you were to be born NOW... You were only 32 4/7 weeks, which ment you would have to stay in the NICU for a few weeks.  I was alittle scared, but I knew my friends would take good care of you!  Dr. Zieba came in from home to be with you when you were born.  Abby and Roz Kean came in too to make sure you were okay.  Mandy was your first nurse and a cute one at that. You were born quick because I had a c-section.  Dr. Hodges and Dr. West did not mess around... in fact they saved your life!  You were born at 0015 on May 21st.  You were 4lbs and 9oz.  You were so cute and daddy and I were so happy you were okay and in good hands.  You had to be on CPAP and on the ventilator to help your lungs.  But you were a quick learner and was out of the NICU in two weeks flat.  I had to beg to go home. You had to take caffeine to remember to breath and wore a mointer that alarmed if you stopped breathing.  The alarm was loud and scared daddy all the time!  You have grown into a handsome young man.  Even though you are a challenge most of the time, I love you with all my heart.  You make me laugh until I cry, you melt my heart when you still want me to cuddle with you, and you are so convincing with those long eyelashes and gorgeous eyes.  Cooper you are a blessing and I am so proud and happy to be your momma.


Love you forever and ever Momma
