Jack Phillip


I am sorry this post is two months late but I am finally feeling like life is normal (well how normal can it be). We are in a schedule and its def. getting easier.



As most of you know our sweet little guy was born on Wednesday April 20th 2011.

Its weird how different this pregnancy/birth was then Cooper but I think it was God's way of preparing us that even though these little boys are brothers they are also their own person and different.

The C-section went great this time as I was very much coherent and aware of my surrondings compared to Coopers birth. The doctors were great and hearing sweet Jacks first cry brought tears to my eyes and a big smile to my face.

Below are just a few pictures from the day of Jacks Birth. We were blessed to have our family there beforehand to pray for us and then waiting in our room when we came back.



Leading up to the birth of Jack I was nervous as how could I love another little guy as much as I love Cooper. But again God knows best and I felt an instant connection with Jack. He has the sweetest face and not once made a noise while we were in the hospital.



Ryan was very happy that our room had a TV as his favorite soccer team was playing that same morning. I love this picture as there will be plenty more of ones like this.



Cooper came later in the afternoon to meet his baby brother. We actually video taped it and I am so glad we did. I wasnt expecting really anything and we didnt know if he would actually understand that baby Jack wasnt in mommy's tummy anymore. Oma walked him into the room and he had a ballon in his hand. He walked straight over to Ryan who was holding Jack and said "Hi baby Jack" he then said HI mommy and looked straight outside our window cause there were tons of bulldozers and dumptrucks below. I think I was the most emotional when Ryan held both of the boys. My three favorite guys all together and I had never felt more blessed and honored to be in their lives.

Even though the recovery of the C-section was harder this time for me, we were thankful for the time we got to spend in the hospital just us three. WE LOVE YOU JACK PHILLIP.
