John Byrne Cooney:
Born: March 8, 2006 at 8:22pm
Weight: 7lbs 7oz
Length: 21 inches
Unlike his sister, Jack decided to arrive twelve days early, where she had been ten days late.
Unexpectedly, my labor began on Wednesday, March 8 at 1:30pm. I was due March 20th.
Our bags still unpacked or names chosen, the baby was making its way. Mike and I headed for the hospital at 5:30. I was still not sure if I was in labor. At 7:00 it was definite. By 8:22pm John “Jack” Byrne Cooney made his arrival. Still in disbelief, we held our son. He was beautiful.
Although early, he weighed 7lbs 7oz, and was 21 inches long. He has light blond hair and very dark eyes. He’s skinny, with a long body, and long toes. He definitely has the look of a Cooney.
I stayed 2 days at the hospital, and missed Isabelle a great deal. Mike stayed with her.
Finally on Friday we were reunited. Isabelle loved her new “baby” from the start. Immediately she hugged and kissed him. Tears are shed when he cries and she laughs every time she looks at him.
What Jack likes to do:
-sleep (except at night)
-nurse
-coo
-gurgle noises
