Baby Cox is a...

Today was a momentous day in the Cox Household, one that we will not soon forget. August 4, 2008 will probably always be a day that sticks out as one of the best! I realize that our first official blog post starts in the middle of our story and not to worry because I'll be sure and go back in time and fill you in on all the rest, but for now this blog post and probably the many to follow will be dedicated to our very first Baby Cox!

So back to our big day... Baby Cox, Justin and I went in to see Jody, our ultrasound technician, today and found out that Baby Cox is definitely not an "it!" He is most certainly a BOY and a very proud boy at that! :) It was very clear within the first 5 minutes with Jody that Baby Cox had something to share with the world. Standing at attention, he was ready to announce his manhood to his mom and dad. Dad, as anyone who has ever spent 5 minutes with him would have guessed, was beyond excited. Fist pumping, table shaking, repetitive use of the word "awesome..." all coming from a very proud Dad! Mom of course was equally as excited but not all that surprised and was more anxious to see all of those organs she had been specifically praying for by name, and guess what?! They are all there and functioning just as they are supposed to! Good work God!

As promised there will always be a little laughter in our posts and today's bit of laughter is courtesy of Baby Cox who decided to measure-in exactly on target with his due date in all body parts with the exception of his HEAD and TUMMY! He apparently is quite a good eater and has his daddy's head. Coming from the guy who had to have special baseball hats made for him growing up it was no surprise that his head was a little ahead of schedule! My poor dad was already worrying about me trying to birth this big-headed baby... no worries dad, Baby Cox WILL come out, we'll be sure of that! :)

We have tons of pictures to post and stories to write. Be patient with us as we adjust to our lives as official bloggers!
