The Baby has arrived!!!!

Yes! Cru Carpenter Cope has finally arrived! Shalese and Casey are loving this new and crazy adventure of being new parents.
I never get tired of holding and loving any of my grandchildren! He is so tiny and such a good baby! The one thing that he does that is funny is he squeaks sometimes when you pick him up.
He has a head of hair that looks like it needs to be cut.
I am so grateful that Shalese was able to come through this experience safely and that Cru is healthy and strong. After 8 weeks of bed rest and a bad case of Toxemia and retaining so much water She was grateful that they were finally going to do something about it. The delivery was not a good experience! Shalese ended up having to be started, then having her water broke she had to have the epidural done 3 times ending up with only half of her body numb finally the 4th time it worked. She had monitors inside her and on the outside and then ending up having a C-section after Cru's heart started to show stress and she wouldn't dilate any more than a 5! He was 7 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long and will celebrate his birthday on the 12th of May from now on.
The Doctors said that he looked like he was over due about a week to two weeks.
We are grateful that they have the medical knowledge and the skills now to help mothers who need it. and Especially grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who heard this mothers prayers!
