Grandparents!

First Week

We have only been home a few days now with our sweet little bundle of joy! I can definitely tell there will be some big changes, but so excited to experience them. Clay and I both know that our family is now complete. The next few years will probably be pretty difficult but so worth it!
Mom is here to help for several weeks and I don't know if I would survive without it. Cohen really wants me to hold him and I so wish I could, but it helps to have someone that can hold him for me and I can still love on him. And of chauffeur the boys around to school and things like that until i can drive. Clay's Mom brought us a bag full of tricks to the hospital which was Very helpful as well! Clay got his rest with the earplugs she packed and the headband she put in for me. He thought it was a blindfold and slept with it on the couch. Glad I didn't need him too much in the night he would have never heard me! :) So if he says he didn't get sleep..Please! The nurse was laughing during the night when she came in because he was snoring so loud! Ha..he did need it though.
Cooper has been my really big helper too. He LOVES his sister and can't stand to see her cry. He tells me she needs to eat or go night night. I am so happy to see his reaction to her. And he wants to make his Mommy all better as well. I will post a picture of his gift to Mommy last night..soon. I was laying in the bed yesterday and he brought me a sand bucket full of his favorite toys and said they were for me to "feel better." I had a bucket full of every train that he loves, a ball, and favorite frog. Seriously the best gift you can get is one from the heart. That melted me!!
So I will post a few more pictures of our week.

Visitors

We have really enjoyed sharing our precious baby with some of our friends and family
over the past few days. We feel so blessed to have so many people who have come to
welcome her to this world. Here are a few pictures! Wish I could put more up on blogger but I will definitely be putting lots up on the website. www.coopermccoy.com
And Kelli..I can't believe we did not take pictures while you were here. I need you to come back for a photo shoot! :) That's what happens when Clay is not around to remind me to take pictures.

Cenley Grace

We welcomed our baby girl to this world yesterday at 12:47. Cenley was 6lbs 11 oz and 19inches long. She is beautiful with dark brown hair and tiny little features! Completely healthy, thank God! She has a little birth mark under her nose, the nurse calls it a "Stork Bite." But, the Doctor says it could fade with time.
I can't take my eyes off of my beautiful girl and am so excited about sharing Mother and Daughter moments with her. Mom brought the boys to the hospital to see us and meet their new sister. Cooper loved seeing his sister, "Kimmie" and Cohen didn't seem to notice she was here. I know there will be many exciting moments when we are all at home together!!

Ready or Not

So we have 2 weeks left until our Cenley Grace arrives! I am so anxious for her to be here. I don't know if I am exactly ready but..still ready to meet her and hold her. We have finally got the rooms ready. Still have a little work to do in both, but both are about as ready as they are going to be. The boys have done wonderfully in the same room which is a major shocker to me! The nap time has become shorter because Cohen sleeps less but I guess we will all have to deal. Clay is going to build some shelves over the cabinet he had already made and we will have some added storage. They are so cute in the same room..as soon as it is finished I will post pictures of that!
Cenley's room needs some pictures for her room and few little things I want to pick up but other than that we just need her! :)

Our Scare

So we had a fun Labor Day weekend until the very end!! I was feeling a little sick (stomach bug). So Clay kept the boys outside a lot, thankfully we had beautiful weather! They had played hard and just left the swing set on their way down to the house. Cooper and Cohen had gone to the side yard and Clay was catching up with them. Mobie was doing her crazy sprints she does when the weather is nice. She is 11 and we think she can't see so well anymore! (now we really do) She ran straight into Cooper's back and he slammed into a tree face first. Clay came yelling in the house for me to get out there and the first thing I see is my Cooper covered in blood and Clay covered in it as well. Cooper is yelling for Mommy to help and Clay just wants me to handle Cohen. We decided to call 911 because we just didn't know what to do. We got the bleeding to slow down and cleaned him up. By the time the firemen arrived at the house (who were wonderful) we had really gotten things under control. It's just hard to know what call to make when you see your baby in that kind of distress. Clay took Cooper to the ER and he had to spend a long evening waiting for help. I packed him a bag of books, toys and snacks. Clay said he was really good and they read the books over and over. I am just glad my baby is ok and am so thankful for all of the prayers we received while waiting. The picture I am attaching does not show how bad he looked that night. He had a fat lip and the inside is where the main cut was.

School Days

I can't believe my Cooper has already started 3 year preschool. I didn't know what to expect from him. It has been so much better than expected. I signed him up for only 2 days a week, which I think is perfect for his first year. His teacher is wonderful and Cooper loves to go! He only tells me he looks forward to going to play with cars, but I know by the art work sent him and the songs he sings he is doing so much more! We don't have a lot of little friends to play with so it is really nice to have more socialization for him..and he LOVES his new friends. Cooper also thinks it is cool that he has a lunch box like his Daddy does.
They will be learning Bible verses, painting, music and so much more. I am so excited for him and love my few hours to spend with Cohen as well. Cohen comes home and has a nap and then is able to play with all the toys by himself, and he seems to be in Heaven! :)
