12.12 Brady Robert Cofer came into this world at 4:29pm. He was 5.3 pounds, 17.25 in length.
I was at 155.6 when I had him yesterday. I was 161 on 11.10 the day before I came into the hospital.
Brady went from the opertating room down to the NICU with Eric then after I was able to move my knees I met them in the NICU and got the update on Brady & got to visit with him for a little while then I had to go up to my room & get all checked out.
Today we started off with not the best news from the doctor. Brady went from the c-pap last night that was helping him with constant air pressure to a ventilator early this am because he was working every hard to breath so that was a step back which was hard for us to see today. He has done good today but we are waiting to see what the cardiologist says from the ex-rays they took today to see what was going on for him to be working so hard at beathing.
12.13 6:00pm just got word the ex-rays of the heart all looked normal. The PDA is open which is to be expected at this point & things are flowing both ways which is not what you want so they will check it again in a few days if he doesn't improve on his own they will

NICU Visit
Saturday Eric and I took a tour of the NICU unit. There is a reason they want you to see it in person before you show up with your child for the first time & I totally understand why. I have read about what to expect for 34 weeks and seen pictures of the babies with all the tubes & wires in them but I knew when I saw it all in person I would get emotional.
The positive look at things is you see kids in there that were born younger weeks than Brady will be & they are doing ok.
I think now I am just ready to start the process of getting him healthy now that we have had time to digest all that has happened and what to expect in the next coming weeks.
We are in count down mode - 6 more days & Brady will be coming! I am so excited and scared all at the same time.

3 Weeks down!
12.2 Great news! I have made it 3 weeks and we have only 10 more days to go till little baby cofer 2 will be born.
Excited and scared all at the same time. Having all this time to sit & think & read has been good but also gets me a little anxious to what things will be like once the baby is here.
We will be having the baby at 3:30 on 12.12 if he stays quiet up till that point so keeping my fingers crossed.
Staying very positive about the whole situation and just trying not to get myslef to stressed about the planning for the baby once he comes home and the care he will need. I was so relaxed with Trey that I think I had a great experience and Trey was a very easy going baby & we had no issues - I want to be the same way this time with Brady so that hopefully he can feel the same energy from me & settle in very easy to everything & also be a very easy going baby. I have a hard time when I can not plan ahead or control a situation so that is why I think it is a little harder for me this time because we will not know anything about what he will need until he arrives in this world and we see how he responds to the treatments he will need to see how quickly or slowly it takes for him to get to the healthly point for coming home and for future care.
Knowing how strong our family is, I think Brady will have no problem handling what he will need to be healthy and come home & grow to a healthy baby boy!
