"Cole Hunter Crim" IS HERE!!!!

"God is so good, God is so good, God is so good
He's so good to me"
our sweet baby boy
***COLE HUNTER CRIM***
was born on March 28, 2014
We got to meet him 10 days early!
6# 12 oz
20.5 inches
JUST PERFECT!!
 His due date was April 7th--For the past 6
weeks he has been breech then not breech
every other week-- we were either going to have
 to try to do "external cephalic version" (flipping the
baby from the outside) or schedule a C-Section if
 he was breech.
When we got to the appointment
last Thursday- March 27th our Dr. got the
ultrasound machine out and he was
HEAD DOWN!! (prayers answered!!)
So, our Dr. sent us right on over to
the hospital to get induced while he was
in the right position!!
 Proud Dad and
Adoring Big Sisters!!!
 BABY COLE!!
Milla wanted to hold him and Faith
just starred at him and wanted to touch
 his soft skin.
 Some of the reasons why I love his name...
COLE= Brandon and I have loved the name
Cole for a long time.
when you think of the mineral coal it
is used to provide energy and resources for
others--it gives everything of itself for others--
just like Jesus!
HUNTER= was Brandon's Grandmother's
maiden name.  I love how a hunter is a
brave provider and a protector.
--These are character traits that we
wish for our son and thought it made
a great, classic, strong name for him.
...and "Cole Crim" has such a cute ring to it!
 Couldn't stop watching him sleep!
What is he thinking?
Can't believe he is already here!!
 Milla and Faith brought him gifts...
1st a camel with a note attached that said
"2 humps to remind you that your 2 sisters
have always got your back"  and a giraffe
with a note that said "to remind you of
your big sisters that you can always look
up to"
 They started Pitocin at a really low dose on
Thursday night-- bumped it up on Friday morning
and broke my water.  Our Dr. told us that
with an induction it sometimes seems like
it takes forever to get from 1-3 cm dilated--
but then people may go from 6-10cm in 15 min.
--That is just about how it went for us.
The beginning was slow and then when
it got intense...it got INTENSE and
went really quickly. I got an epidural at
1:40pm and he was born at 2:19pm!
I think it was just enough to relax and
let him come out smoothly and easily!
 full head of hair
 We are a FAMILY OF 5!!!!
(Milla keeps saying 6 counting HANK!)
 SOAKING THIS UP!!!!!
Loving this little guy!!
 Brandon and Cole

She said "I have been dreaming of a baby...

 Cole in his car seat!
 First Pediatrician visit to see Dr. Cox.
He is eating awesome and growing already!!
Crazy how looking at a brand new baby
automatically makes your other babies look
SO BIG!!
 singing lullabies
 not a posed picture...Faith was just in
the other room being totally quiet and watching
Cole sleep!!
 Bright Eyes!!!
 "C is for COLE"

BABY TOES
 lots of love poured out on this guy!
 Faith hugging on Cole
 First Nap in his crib!  LOVE THAT GRIN!!
 FAITH
 MILLA
 When we went to out Dr. appointment it
was at the office where I work-- so my
thoughtful coworkers "sprinkled" Cole
with gifts!! (his little lunchtime
shower was scheduled for the day
he was born!---we missed it!)
LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY!!!!
"Children are a Gift from the Lord"
Psalm 127:3
