Mason Allen Cooper

Big news for the Cooper family! We are having Baby Boy #2! We are super excited about announcing his name, which his daddy so graciously picked out...on his OWN! ha-ha. Mason Allen Cooper will be his official name. We found out yesterday that we were expecting a little boy at our nuchal translucency test, which went perfect! Little Mason is doing fantastic. His little heart is beating, he was sucking his thumb and playing just like Jacob did in all his ultrasounds. Sean and I both agreed that Mason is acting so much like his Big Brother already! I would post our ultrasound pictures, but the 4D ultrasound is really of the back of Mason's head. We couldn't get a good face shot this time because he was hiding behind the placenta. Hopefully at our 20 week ultrasound we will get some better pictures...which will not be the next appt but the next!

I go back on August 12th to begin the first week of my progesterone shots. I will be 16 weeks, and I will continue those until probably 36 weeks as long as everything stays going smoothly! Which I think this time is going to be ALOT better. However, Mason is carrying just as low as Jacob if not just a tad bit lower...which this could possibly change. Lets hope for the sake of me because it was totally miserable at the end with Jacob. Anyways...in September we will be halfway there and have another ultrasound that will graciously confirm that is 100% a boy, which by the way he was 90% sure it was yesterday...which he informed us was pretty accurate. He said there was no way he thought it was a girl, it was pretty clear already! Anyways...and we will have some more pictures! Keep praying for Baby Mason and our health for the next 5-6 months! :) His heart rate yesterday was 164...for those of you who know how good that it is...its FANTASTIC!

Oh and Jacob has already started saying Bubba because he calls his Uncle...Uncle Bubba...so its just perfect! We keep trying to tell him he's going to be a big brother, but he's just so small he can't understand yet...ha-ha. I'm sure when Mason gets here he's going to get the big picture! Well that is it so far for Mason :)

Solar Screens

So we finally broke down and bought the materials for the solar screens. Sean, me, my mom and dad spent the past two days putting them together and up on the house. Man has it really made a difference to the appearance and the temperature! I was a little skeptical at first, but now i'm a believer. We are running the house at 75 degrees (which is good for us) and it is nice and cool.

Jacob's BIG MESS!

Man is Jacob getting BIG! He's starting to get a mind of his own, and I'm not sure I can handle it. He's 15 months old going on 15 years old...ha-ha! Every afternoon we play in the yard around 7 till dark, and he has fallen in love with his slide, the sandbox, water, and mud! This kid is a true All-American Boy. Kids do the funniest things. I just so happened got some cute photos this afternoon as we were playing. He got so muddy I had to post them! Look how adorable. He put his hand print on his forehead. I love it!

Wedding Day

Our big day! Wow, how fantastic it was. The big day was so gorgeous and everyone made it so lovely. We will never forget our big day for the rest of our lives. However, I had to share with you the picture of the kids on our way to the wedding ceremony. Jacob, Josh, and Macie (left to right) feel asleep after such a long day of running around. They caught a little cap nap and were ready to go when we arrived. They are so precious! More pictures of our wedding day are still being downloaded... :)

Baby #2 Update

So for those of you who do not know, we are expecting baby #2. On June 29th, we went to the dr to recieve some reassuring news :) The baby still looks healthy and I was at 11 weeks. However, on July 22 we will have a nucal translucency test. This is good and bad. Considering my past pregnancy issues, Dr. Kirshon will be looking over everything to determine our next steps for the health of me and the baby. We do know that at 16 weeks we will be starting progesterone shots, which will hopefully prevent preterm labor.

Furthermore, on July 22 we will get to find out the gender at 14 weeks and the actual weight and size!!! :) We are super excited. So far the names are Avery Christine and Mason Allen.

New Mommy Hair Cut

So...I broke down and cut all my hair OFF! I cut enough to be able to donate to the Locks of Love for the first time ever. I believe I cut off about 8-9 inches off my hair. I really do love the haircut. At first, I thought it was going to have to grow on me, but as soon as I got up out of the chair it was like an instant love at first site moment...hehe! Its the easiest thing in the world to fix. I hope you like it too :)

5 days to go!!!!

So now we are down to five days till the Wedding and I'm so excited. I'm ready to put on my pretty dress and walk down the isle with my gorgeous flowers. I can't wait to see Sean standing at the end of the isle for me...I am super excited to see Jacob in his tux...we put it on him this weekend and gosh was he CUTE! :)

Its going to be so much fun. Friday we had our tool and lawn party and got alot of neat stuff! Mainly, it was for sean...but it was still alot of fun.

On a Mommy Note...

On a Mommy note, I realized how big my little boy was getting tonight. We were walking down the street he was sitting in his wagon and I was pulling him. It was close to his bed time so he had his sippy cup of milk. As we were walking every now and then he would pick his cup up get a drink and sit it back into its cup holder. It was amazing. As we continued down the street we came upon some neighborhood dogs and he reached out his hand and started yelling giberish at them like he was an adule scolding them. Man its just crazy how they grow up...I can remember holding him for the first time and now he's 32 inches tall and 14 months old. They are the best gift God could ever give. I love him so much!

11 days left to go...

Wow has time flown by! With only 11 days left to go the wedding is approaching rapidly. I thought I had everything done until I started making my list! I actually have procrastinated a little. I still have to print the programs, tie the bows on the bells, do the slideshow, get picture frames for the engagement pictures, do the snack cup stuff, order the m&m's and put them in their tins. I am going to get it all done. Plus today is Sean's birthday! :) Happy Birthday Sean!!!

Tonight I'm going to be busy getting my pictures all scanned in...I can't wait till the big day.

Jacob has been sleeping better at night. Thank goodness he got up at 630 for a bottle and went back to bed. I think he got up around 8. Sean came in early this morning. I got to see him for like 10 minutes which was a surprise. Anyways...tomorrow is Hump Day - i'm looking forward to that :)

Our Journey

On April 6, 2008 at 12:16pm, we welcomed our very first bundle of joy- Jacob Ryland Cooper. Although a very long and rough nine months a healthy boy of 6lbs 3 oz and 21 3/4 inches long was born at 35 weeks and 5 days.


Although Sean and I haven't always done things as others have thought we should we know deep in our hearts that we love each other very much. Love is not always the same for everyone, and it has taken us a long time to build a sturdy foundation for our family. On March 26, 2009, we purchased our first home together in Dayton, Texas where we will raise our family.


Not to long after we moved in on May 18th Sean asked me to marry him. We set the date for June 27, 2009. With only 12 days left to go I am getting more excited everyday! I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. He truely makes me the person I want to be; he's my hero.
