Happy Birth Day Cooper Jackson!

Saturday morning we packed the car (in the rain) and drove to Atlanta to welcome a new baby into our family. Luckily we arrived before he was born. Entertaining a 5, 4, 3, and 1 year old in the hospital waiting room/ holding area proved to be very difficult. Here are the kids before Cory came out to tell us Ashley had the baby. Yeah! Then at 11:32 am, Cooper Jackson Regan was born. He weighed 6 lbs, 4 oz and is 18 inches long.



A hospital rule prevented Laine and Davis from being able to see the baby, much to Laine's disappointment. She kept telling me to wash my hands before I hold the baby. Ashley was very tired from an unexpected difficulty with anesthesia (she's much better now) so we had to have baby Cooper's birthday party at his house (without him, booo). The girls loved singing, wearing party hats and eating the cake (of course).



The girls played together and made Davis test out other baby gear. He liked clapping for their dance routines. Finally on Sunday I got to hold baby Cooper. He is so precious and I forgot how small newborns are, so sweet. We love you Coop!
