Introducing!!!!!!!

Michael "Cole" Roberson

Birthdate: February 23, 2009
@ 7:54pm
Weight: 5lbs 10.4oz
Length: 20.5 in

Cole is still in NICU, but doing great. He has passed all the tests that he needs to pass before we can come home, except for the fact that he hasn't figured out how to eat. He eats small amounts from the bottle, and has to be tube fed the rest. Hopefully he will pick up on it pretty quickly, being that that is all that he has to do before we can come home. He lost some weight right after birth, as all babies do, but is now back up to 5lbs 6oz. He is so sweet, and he looks exactly like Mason. Please continue to pray that he picks up on the feeding thing pretty quickly, so that he can come home. Love you all!

I will post more pictures soon, but I have to be back at the hospital at 5 for his next feeding.

Also, Happy Birthday to my sweet nephew Luke, who turned 2 today. So sorry that we can't be there to celebrate with you. We love you!

SOON!

Here are a few pictures of me in all my pregnant glory. HaHa! I have never let anyone take pictures of me while I have been pregnant, but since this is the last time I will ever be pregnant, I figured I would let it happen. Theses pictures were taken today at my Mom and Dad's house and hopefully in a week or two from this very day, I will be holding our third child.


This is my sister Aaron's daughter Kellyn.

This is my sister Sarah's daughter Kambell.

And this is me and our third child. Maybe I am having a basketball! Only one more week to go!

So, I have had a few pregnancy wows the last few weeks. It all started around 30 weeks, when I started having premature contractions. When I went to the Doctor, we found that I was dilated to a 2, so he sent me to a specialist. While there, we learned that I was having contractions every 5-7 minutes. I was placed in the hospital for a while in order to get the contractions under control, and then sent home on multiple medications. I have to see the specialist every week, and my OB every other week, which is tiring, but worth it if it means having a healthy baby Boy/Girl. I see the specialist again in the morning, and there we will do another ultrasound and non-stress test to see how the baby is reacting to the contractions, which by the way I am having more often. So, after tomorrow, he will schedule an amniocentesis, and if the baby's lungs arm mature, he is going to take me off the medications and just let the baby come, which means probably around my birthday, March 6th. I cannot wait to find out what we are having, and to meet my sweet baby!

Baby Names!

Several of you have asked what names we have picked out for our new Boy/Girl. Because we have gone with Family names for both of our kids, we are going to once again use a family name for this baby. Cole is Craig's Mom's maiden name, so if it is a boy, his name will be Ethan Cole, but he will go by Cole. And if it is a girl, her name will be Blakely Cole, but we will call her Blake. I have a thing with boy names for girls. However, I really think this is a boy, so more than likely the name is Ethan Cole. I guess we will see soon enough. If I don't stop having all of these contractions, we may see sooner than later. I am however trying my hardest to stay off my feet like the Doctor instructed me to do, but it's tough when you have two kids. I'll keep you all updated!
