Cooper Grant was born Thursday, September 13th at 11:56 AM. His birth was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The joy his little soul brings me is unmeasurable. But the story of his first nine days is long and painful and impossible to sum up in one sitting. In time, I will write a little about some of the experiences he had suffering from severe jaundice and severe anemia, undergoing an IVIG treatment and two blood transfusions. The first nine days of his life were some of the most difficult of mine. I want to post a record of it here, but for now, I am GRATEFUL we made it home. GRATEFUL he is off oxygen and doing better. GRATEFUL he can get bundled up and cuddled close, GRATEFUL to be a family again, and most importantly, GRATEFUL he is my little fighter.
Here are some pictures from his first day of life:

Oh Rachel...I don't know how you'll begin to write that all down...just glad those days are behind now. Many blessings got everyone through.
