Wedding Bliss

On Sunday January 18th our two closest friends, Theresa and Kyle were married. The wedding was at a country club and was absolutely lovely. It was a beautiful ceremony including a sand ceremony which was very unique representing the blending together of their two families. Everyhting about the reception was wonderful. The flowers were gorgeous and the food was delicious. We couldn't be happier for two people who are so special to us and are glad we were able to be a part of their big day. We wish them a lifetime of happiness together and can't wait to meet the new addtion joining their family.

Happy New Year

I know I am a little late but I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! My mother in-law came and stayed with us for 2 weeks. What a huge help she was, she allowed me to get some much needed sleep each day after a long night. I am now adjusting to life at home alone with my little guy and things are going great. He is a very good boy. He is very quiet and sleeps well and of course is a good eater. He is a true pleasure and I am enjoying our time alone together. Eric unfortunately had to go back to work after the first week home. We miss him during the day but check in frequently. The first thing daddy does when he gets home is wash his hands and holds his son. Our first New Year's as a family was spent at our friends Theresa and Kyle's with their family and my in-laws. This was Cooper's first outing and he enjoyed it, so did we.

Proud Daddy!

Cutting the umbilical cord was the coolest experience I have ever had.

Cooper's Arrival

And finally the news you have all been waiting for...the arrival of Cooper. On Monday December 22nd I went into labor and was admitted into the hospital at 5:30 p.m. Things were beginning to progress and with the help of an epidural I was trying to get some rest for the miracle that was about to take place. It was about midnight and I was 6 centimeters dialated and our little guy went into fetal distress for the second time. I was then immediately rushed into an emergency c-section. Everything went fine and on December 23, 2008 at 1:10 a.m. Cooper Todd Jensen was born, weighing in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and 18 inches long. He is PERFECT!! To add to the experience we went home as a family on Christmas Night-I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present!

38 Weeks

I am now 38 weeks and figured I would share my girlish figure with everyone one last time before my little man enters the world. I am definately large and have dropped. We are ready for Cooper , we just need him to be ready to meet all of us. Think "LABOR!"

Got Snow?

Check out the beautiful christmas lights on our house, thanks to Eric. He does such an awesome job every year they are the best on the block. It really makes it feel like the holidays having snow to go along with the lights.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

I am so excited, I love the snow! Can you believe it, SNOW IN VEGAS and lots of it! It started around noon today and it is now 8:30 and still snowing. Maybe we will have our first SNOW DAY, I hope so since it will cut my last 2 days of work down to 1. I already know that a few private schools have closed but you know public schools will wait til morning. I am doing a snow dance to be sure. On another exciting note at my doctors appointment this week I found out that I am 1 1/2 centimeters dialated and his head is way down and in position. I get checked again on Monday and lets all hope for more progression. I am definately ready since I have been very uncomfortable.

Thanksgiving

I know I am a little late posting but I had to go back to work this week YUCK!! and then I got sick. I am feeling 1oo% better and want to share with everyone what a wonderful Thanksgiving we had. We did Thanksgiving at our house and I cooked with the help of Eric and Sue. Suzy and PJ joined us as well as Eric's Aunt Bette, Uncle Jim and cousin Jennifer which was so nice. It was great that they were in town and able to come over and join us, we get very few visitors especially family so we enjoyed having everyone.
