At birth, Cooper weighed 6lbs 11oz and was 18 3/4in long.
Cooper and Janelle are both doing great. Cooper is healthy and happy. His temperament is super mellow and he really enjoys his sleep, his mom's milk, and long walks on the beach. It's amazing how quickly he changes and how much he has matured already!
Janelle is recovering nicely; she's up and about and able to enjoy being a first time mother. I will write up our story tomorrow about how things lead up to Janelle having a C-Section, but for now, just know we made it and everyone is healthy.
We want to thank all of our friends and family who were praying for us during the delivery process, and we praise the Lord Almighty for his provision of grace over the past few days.
We also want to say thanks to the entire nursing staff at Sutter, but a special thanks to Nicole, our friend from FCC, who helped us through the difficult hours leading up to going into surgery.
The new (and improved) Rhoads' family!
