Levi Theodore Koopmans

Father and Son

I thought I would post some pictures of our new baby boy...Levi. He was born on June 2, 2008. He weighed 8lbs 8oz and was 21 inches long. I really did not realize I was in labor until mid morning on the 2nd. I told Ryan to call me at his first break at 11 and see how I was doing...I had had some contractions earlier. I ended up calling the doctor and they said come to the office to get checked...Ryan drove me there and I was thinking in the car that this might be the real thing. I was 6cm at the office. We went straight to the hospital where I was then checked at 7cm and soon after that 8cm...I then got my epidural...good thing because Levi needed to turn a little before he could come out. After he did that though I pushed for 45 minutes and out he came. I was the first to call out that it was a boy. It has been 2 weeks ago since Levi was born...he weighed 8lbs 60z at the doctor today. He is eating well...mostly formula since last week we got seen by a Lactation Consultant and my milk supply was low....no wonder he was eating every 1 hour! We feed him the breast milk that we can and the bottle and he loves them both. Yesterday we had a great first Fathers Day for new Papa Koopmans. We went to both grandparents houses and Levi was held pretty much the whole time. We are blessed we great families that care about us so much and are excited to share every moment with Levi. God is good. Enjoy the posted pictures.
