Well, after a tough 35 weeks and 5 days, our little girl made her grand entrance!
I had some blood pressure issues towards the end and that is why they delivered her early. She has been in the NICU, but is now off of the oxygen. Praise the Lord!
She looks just like her big brother.
More pictures to come...

Baby Girl C

I have not felt so hot lately...ridiculous back pain. Then, I had the great joy of seeing her today...and my mood lifted BIG TIME!


Some friends of ours sell Ultrasound Equipment. They needed to have some "guinea pigs" for their new equipment.
I was thrilled when they asked me to volunteer. Normally, this would be a little late (33 weeks) in pregnancy to have the 4D Ultrasound, but it was amazing to see her so developed.
We had the 3D/4D ultrasound with Coleman, but decided not to with Baby Girl C.
BUT...thanks to my lying on a table in front of 14 people as a "guinea pig", we got these images of our little (or should I say BIG) Girl.
I must have heard at least 7 times that there was NO WAY this baby was going to make it to term. She has dropped a ton and is quite large :) (both things I already knew...or at least thought I knew).
There were some better shots, that were not captured in the pictures, of her staring straight at us.
I think she looks just like Coleman.

 

With Coleman, we had no idea that he would be 4 weeks early. With this little Girl, we are quite sure she will be early. Just not sure HOW EARLY. Please join us in praying for a healthy little Girl who will NOT decide to break her Mama's water in an embarrassing place...you know... ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC!

Dr. Colton Cockrum

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This man below (in all his redneck glory) is now a Doctor.
Yesterday, at 11:06 a.m., Colton's Dissertation Chair came into the Hallway of Browning Hall at the University of Memphis to say "Congratulations, Dr. Cockrum"
Tears of joy flowed down both of our faces. I told Colton that I felt like he just birthed a child (that was in the womb for 4 and 1/2 years). It was by-far one of the proudest moments in my life. It felt like our wedding day or the day Coleman was born. Such joy and overwhelming emotion. I am so proud of Colton! He never complained or grumbled at the early morning writing when he could have easily been watching football, or sitting by the Mississippi River.
We are blessed.
Sola Deo Gloria

Pumpkin Patch

Coleman's nursery class took a walk to the church next door for the annual Pumpkin Patch Visit and Hayride. He loved it! He is going to be a hunter for Halloween.

Colton, his Dad and 5 other guys went on a 3 day expedition down the Mighty Mississippi River! Colton has been planning this trip for over 8 months. They had a blast!
Here are some pictures from the trip...
