On Thursday, November 11, 2010, our beautiful little baby boy, Cooper John-James Gayler, came into this world weighing 6 pounds 7 ounces, and measuring 18.5 inches long. I had a scheduled repeat cesarean due to preeclampsia (pregnancy induced hypertension). Thankfully, I was awake for the duration of the surgery and both Troy and I got to hear our baby cry right after he was born. What an incredible moment! Troy got to be with the baby as he was cleaned up, weighed, measured, and tested. And it was Troy who carried him over to me for first kisses from his momma...and the nurses encouraged us to nuzzle and bond. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. Once the surgery was complete, they transferred me to the gurney and handed me our new, beautiful son. What a wonderful experience....one I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life! Thank you, Aidan, for being such a loving daughter and proud big sister...I love you more than you will ever know! Thank you, Troy, for making those two beautiful babies with me...I love you now and forever! Thank you, God, for this amazing family!
