Cohen Todd Kitchen
was born Saturday, June 20, 2009 at 9:05 am in Orem, Utah. He just couldn't wait to come play with us so he decided to come exactly a month early. He weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz. and was 18 in. long. He flew out with a full head of hair. (literally flew out....the Dr. had to jump back in his chair to catch him) The delivery was amazing...my dream delivery if there is such a thing. I woke up sat. morning at about 2:30 am feeling a little different but not know for sure if I was in labor. I watched the clock to find out my contractions were exactly 7 mins apart. I started getting so giddy and excited I couldn't stand it! I woke Brock up and in no time the contractions were 4 and 5 mins apart, or in other words I was movin' fast! We then sat for a few mins not really knowing what to do, so we decided we'd better get our bags packed. We were taking our time at first, having fun and getting so excited, but then I kept reminding brock "ok, now we need to hurry!" I had no idea how far into labor I was, when we got to the hospital I was mentally prepared for them to send me back home. Little did I know, they checked me and I was dilated to an 8! They hurried me to my room, gave me an epidural when I was at a 9, and a few pushes he was out! Such an amazing experience, and I loved every minute of it.
Cohen is the sweetest, most beautiful little boy I know and we can't keep our eyes off him!
On the verge of cracking a cute smile for the cam...
Dr. Weibell....one of the greatest men I know.
Victory....I made it!
This is one of my favs....Love the finger in the mouth.
The 'bink' is almost the size of his tiny head.
He was looking right at the camera for us.
Here are my sweet boys snuggling.
This is what Brock and I do in our free time now.
Mr. GQ already knows how to work it for the camera.

We LOVE this baby boy more than we ever thought was possible, and are VERY proud to be his parents.

Liss I still feel like crying when I look at these pictures! Being a mom is the absolute best thing in the whole wide world.
Hey Melissa,
I don't know if you remember me but we lived in Cambridge Court and were in your ward a little over a year ago. I had just recently found your blog through Jenn Brandt's and then Sunday I found out that you are in our ward again!
We live in building 11B so I guess we are right next to you. Let me know if you guys need help with anything for sure!
Oh... and your baby is adorable! I just love all of these pictures!
