Thanksgiving

We got up on Thanksgiving morning and watched the Thanksgiving Day parade on tv. We went to Aunt Jennifer's to eat an early dinner. All the food was yummy!! The Hale's all left from there to go to the lake until Saturday. We had a great time just hanging out together.

Haley's Thanksgiving Feast

Haley had a Thanksgiving Feast at her school. They wore cute Indian shirts that their teacher helped them make and we had lunch. The kids also made a necklace from colored pasta. Cooper came to her party and she liked showing all her friends her "little brother".

Bedtime

AJ went in to take Haley to the bathroom before we went to bed, as he does every night, and this is what he found. I knew she had been loud after we put her to bed, but I never would have guessed this. She had taken her pjs off and found an outfit in her closet. She put the skirt on inside out and got the matching shirt on about halfway. I cant believe this was even comfortable, but she was sleeping good in this position!

Cooper's 1st Bath

Cooper finally got his 1st bath when he was 15 days old. Haley wanted to help, so she watched from the step. She was so cute watching him. Cooper didnt like it at first, but once I layed a washcloth on his chest/stomach to keep him warm, he loved it.

Happy Halloween!

Haley was a ladybug for Halloween and Cooper was a giraffe. We took Haley trick-or-treating at Publix and then only to a few houses on our street, because it was rainy and cold. Hopefully next year we will have better weather!

Cooper James Lambert is here!!!!

My mom took me to the hospital while AJ and his mom stayed at Haley's party at school. Once AJ got Haley settled at home and down for a nap, he met us at the hospital. I got my IV in around 2:30 pm and my doctor broke my water not long after that. They started pitocin around 3:30 or 4. Around 6:30 I felt like I needed to start pushing, and pushed from around 6:40-7pm. Cooper was born at 7:00pm on Wednesday, October 28, 2009.

He was a big boy(especially for being over 3 weeks early). He weighed in at  7lbs and 6 oz and was 19.5 inches long! I am so glad he decided to come early. The doctor said he would have been over 9 lbs if I had carried full term!

My parents were both at the hospital along with Matthew and Courtney. Mom was in the delivery room with AJ and I, just like she was with Haley. She even cut the umbilical cord because AJ didnt want to (he says it's the drs job!).  After my family saw Cooper and held him, they went home to relieve AJ's parents of Haley duty so they could come meet their new grandson!

We stayed in the hospital about 24 hours and came home Thursday night. I was excited to get home so Haley could meet her little brother. Because of the swine flu outbreak, noone under the age of 18 was allowed in the hospital.

We are excited to get settled in and start this new journey as a family of 4!!

Halloween Party at preschool

I was so excited about going to Haley's preschool Halloween party, that I went to it for a little while, even though the dr had told me that morning that I needed to be admitted to the hospital. I had a doctors appt that morning and my dr said that Cooper would be coming that day. I didnt want to miss her first school party. The kids went outside to a "pumpkin patch" and got to pick one to bring home with them. They also got to go trick-or-treating at the other classrooms.
