Thought we would add some more pictures of our new little Beckett. He is such a cutie, and we feel so lucky to have him in our home. 

Here he is this morning...3 days old. He has had a few episodes of awake time today. We also went outside to the park and enjoyed the good weather and sunshine for a few minutes. He was awake often to eat last night, but my milk came in today (ouch!), so hopefully he'll sleep better tonight. Cooper and Gunner's eyes were more brown at birth...and both have stayed brown. We wonder if Beckett's grey might turn blue?
The boys have done surprisingly well. Probably party because they had a visit from their Uncle Dan and cousin Riley. They were able to go downtown and to a Cardinals game Wednesday night. Riley and Gunner both got balls during batting practice, and it was autograph night. Cooper was excited because they played the Pirates, his favorite team.

Cooper calls Beckett a "cute little bug". We think it is cute he came up with it on his own. Gunner makes sure we know every time he is "cying". Cooper starts to grit his teeth and shake his head and says, "I just want to squeeze him so hard because I love him so much!" Good thing he is smart enough not to! :) We see similarities in looks of all 3 boys.

Gunner also POOPED ON THE POTTY today for the first time! He seems so much older and bigger with Beckett around...maybe he thinks he is too! :)

Nana extended her stay a week (thank goodness!!!), and is hear until Tuesday. She has gotten a lot of training on the Wii from Cooper, and I think he has her convinced to buy one for her house for the grandkids. She has also been our chef and quite the entertainer for the boys. They love having her here, and so do I. It was extra special to have her at Beckett's birth, because we haven't had any family at our previous births. 

He kind of has "man hair", thin in front and on top, longer and thicker in back. He has some dark hair on his shoulders and back too.
Cooper is ready to train Beckett on the Wii too. :)
Thanks to all those who have shown their love, support, and congratulations! We are so blessed that everything turned out good, and mom and baby are healthy. If you want "details", like I usually do, you can read below. I need to get it written for journaling purposes too, so feel free to skip it. :)

{STORY OF YOUR BIRTH} to be added soon.....
