The Arrival!

We are happy to announce the arrival of Cooper Kenneth Nuorala!  He was born at 12:45pm on Thursday, October 21st weighing 7lbs 9oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches long!!

Hello World! 

We were so glad that Grandma Pattee and Grandma Means were able to witness his birth and thankful for all their support.

The Mom's getting ready to help me push!

Cooper's Aunt Jill, Grandpa Pattee and Grandpa Means were also at the hospital eagerly awaiting to meet him.

Cooper is now 5 days old and is doing awesome!  Here are a few pictures from the past few days.

My first car ride! 

I'm 3 days old and can already hold my pacifier!

Great Grandma

Progress Report

Hi Everyone,


I have been off bed rest now for 2 weeks and it's such a relief to have made it full term.  Cooper is very healthy and I'm feeling great, just getting anxious to meet him!  Bob is doing well too...trying to get in a few extra rounds of golf before diaper duty begins!! 


I had my 38 week checkup yesterday and I am 1cm dilated, 70% effaced and at 0 station!  It's hard to say when I'll go into labor, but the end is for sure in sight!  The doctor initially thought there was a good chance that Cooper was going to arrive early, but we are learning that is not the case now.  I think the 3 weeks of bed rest made him extremely comfortable.


The good news is my due date is only 11 days away, so we do not have too much longer to wait until we meet our little boy!
