One down... six to go... ok... maybe 3...

Wednesday July 30th, 2008 will be a day never forgotten. At least for M and I. It all started at 3:40 in the AM, and didn't end unitil... well I don't think it is going to end anytime soon. By 5:42pm our lives had changed forever as Tanner joined our little family. Here are a couple photos of the last few days.



Can you see the pain? It was all worth it.



Moments after birth and nurses and doctors are already calling him "perfect".



3300 grams of Koons = 7 pounds 4 oz. of man



Mom and Tanner happy that all the commotion is over.



By this time our doctor was heading for home. He was happy he only needed to be there for 45 minutes. The total labor time from contractions to birth was 15 hours. However the total delivery time was a little under 25 minutes. This girl packs a punch in every push.



War wounds from nurse #1. I think she was so embarrassed that she sent Katie to take care of us. We were much happier with nurse Katie anyway.



His first bath at home. No tears!!



DT just chillin' with grandma.



Thanks Koons's, Miller's, and Brawner's!!! They smell great!! M and I are so humbled by the new addition to our family. He has been so good to us, only keeping us up most of the night. He is happy and healthy and all ours. He is very loved.
