Correction
The title of our last post was "7 weeks to go." We are happy to announce that we lied. On January 21, 2008, Cooper MacLeod Traynum played his first of many practical jokes on dear old Mom and Dad and decided to speed up our plans. At 8:36 pm, our 5 lb 8 oz, 17 3/4 inches long peanut made his debut. The early bird is doing great, as is his mother. While Sarah was discharged on Wednesday, little Cooper decided he wasn't quite done flirting with the nurses and wanted to stay a few extra days. He likes to play a little game where his temperature drops a little more than the doctors like, so they want to keep watch over him until he can maintain his temperature. We ask that you pray he grows like a weed, and becomes as stable as a horse enclosure (bad bad joke, sorry), and little Coop asks you pray the little girl with the pink ribbon goes to the prom with him in 18 years. Below are some of the little guy's first shots at Hollywood.
On a little more serious note,
We want to thank everyone for your support and prayers. While Coop is doing great, it's really hard on us newbie parents not having him at home. Pray for Sarah and me as we support our son and begin to learn some of the greatest lessons of our life. We love you,
Steven and Sarah

I am so excited about our little men being able to grow up together and be lifelong friends! oh the fun we will have taking them to the zoo, eduventure, the playground, going to their baseball/football/soccer (whatever they choose) games, and watching them grow up... dont blink because Cooper will be big before you know it! Everyone says it passes so quickly and i totally agree now. I know right now is difficult, but there will be so many more amazing things to come that this little speed bump will be hardly noticed. Love you dearly!
Cooper is so cute! It is a shame that him and Ava are related!!!! Therefore, I will pray for him and pink bow girl. I am so proud of you both for already being so strong for your little man. I know this is hard...so, know that you are in our prayers! I will be checking in...Love to you three!!!
XOXOXOXO,
Chris, Anna and Ava
