Colt Mycoskie

Here is Colt in his car seat ready to leave the hospital!

Isn't he handsome! I love all that hair!

How special it was that Elizabeth was there for the birth of my sweet baby boy!

Jordan holding Colt just minutes after he was born.

Love at first sight!!!!

Having Colt here is the best thing in the world! My parents have been here helping out which has been wonderful....mom has caught up all my laundry, cooked every meal, and cleaned nonstop. THANK YOU, Mom and Dad!! I am trying to learn how to sleep...at night I put him in his bassinet by our bed. As soon as he makes a peep I am up like a shot cat to check on him. So I pretty much have not slept. Any advice or is it just like that at the beginning?

He is beautiful and handsome and perfect in every way!!!

Love to you all,

Colt's mom

COLT IS HERE!!!!

Our sweet baby boy is finally here...2 weeks early! Last Wednesday I was lining my class up for PE and realized that I was either peeing in my pants OR my water just broke! Within minutes I am in the bathroom with 3 of my teacher friends and we are trying to figure out if I am peeing uncontrollably or if my water had broken. I was pretty sure my water had broken, but have heard stories of girls going to hospital only to be sent home because they had peed their pants....and I so didn't want that to happen to me! But after 15min or so of on and off "leaking" our school office manager drove me to the doctor who immediately confirmed that Colt is on his way and sent us to the hospital where Jordan soon met us. We got to the hospital around noonish (I think....my water broke at 10:25am). It was nothing like I expected, like you see in the movies....the girl's water breaks and there is a flood of water under her and then the contractions start....nope, not for me. I had a relatively slow leak and contractions didn't kick in until later Wednesday night. AMEN for epidurals!!!! : ) After almost 2 hours of pushing, Colt was born at 3:11am on October 23!!! He weighed in at 6lbs 0oz and 18.5in long. He has a head of dark hair and is beautiful and perfect in every way. I am still amazed that he is my son! Jordan and I are so in love and deeply smitten. We just look and him and cry. God is so good!!! Jordan is such a natural; he is the sweetest daddy I have ever seen. Again, I have no idea why the pics won't come up right. These are from my mom's camera so I will soon be adding pics from our camera. : ) Welcome to this world little baby Colt!!!! MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!!!!

Update!

We have had a fun week getting ready for baby Colt! I went to the doctor and she told me that I was dilated 1cm and 70% effaced. She also told me she didn't think I'd make it longer than another week! OMG! So we might have a baby by next weekend! I suppose I should pack a hospital bag! We are getting so excited and I am starting to get a little panicked over all the last minute things I need to get done. My last day at work is Friday, and I have a feeling there will be some tears. I am going to miss my team SOOOO badly.

We had a couple's shower last night, which was an absolute blast! Here are some pics from the party....

Doesn't Jordan look like a cute daddy!?

It was a double baby shower for me and Jordan's cousin Emily. She is due 10 days after me!
