There will be many pictures coming, but for now I am just going to post this peaceful picture of Koda, taken just after the nurses gave him back to me. Not even an hour old, content as can be, laying in my lap.
I can't believe my little brown bear is already SEVEN! How have seven years passed since I held this tiny bundle in my arms?
I remember this day SO well. I can play it back in my mind as if it happening now. The pregnancy was a bit rough, but totally worth it! We started out the pregnancy being told that we would probably lose him, because of the many Xrays that had been done on me, before I knew I was pregnant. Then not being able to even walk without pain, which was even harder to deal with, having a two and a three year old at home with me. Then being scared to death after getting sent to the hospital, just a week before he was born, when we couldn't get him to move for the longest time. It turns out he was just hibernating in his squishy little cave, but they kept us in the hospital to monitor him for a bit.
Even though it was a hard pregnancy, I really loved every second of it, and the delivery was a piece of cake! Maybe rough pregnancies equal easy deliveries? In the hospital the nurses called him the handsome prince. They loved his fuzzy body, his coloring, his darling face, and his sweet personality! Becca had brought Bailia and Jaden over to the hospital, just as they finished bathing Cooper, it was love at first sight.
Before leaving the hospital the doctor informed us it would be wise for me to have any more kids. In my mind I wanted more, I had always planned for more. But honestly as soon as he told me that, I knew I was finished, and I was completely content with the three little miracles I had been blessed with. Our family was perfect.
I love the way Koda loves me, he tells me I am his best friend multiple times a day. He loves to snuggle with me as often as possible, and I think he fakes nightmares sometimes so that he can sleep with us. He admires Jdog and Sis, and wants to do everything with them. I hope that the three of them will always be best friends, don't get me wrong they fight like cats and dogs, but oh how they love each other!
Koda is the funniest kid ever. He catches on to humor that he shouldn't, and he says things that will make you laugh for days! I hope he knows how much we all love him, and even though I tried to talk him into skipping this birthday so that he wouldn't grow up so fast, I hope he had a great day!
Happy Birthday Koda!
