We welcomed Nolan Joseph Cohn into this world on October 7, 2011 at 3:15 PM. He was quite a big boy - weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz and standing 20.5 inches tall!!!
Anna waited patiently for the little fella. The doctors induced her early; but she endured painful labor contractions for a few hours in order to allow "active labor" to do its work and move the process along. Once the pain became too intense, she requested a prompt epidural and surrounded herself with friends and family. From there, she gossiped with Kristen - amazing nurse No. 2 for the day - Karly, Nana and Cara. We were fortunate enough to have much love surrounding her throughout all stages of labor (aptly documented by the most professional of photographers: Karly!).
Suddenly, Anna was complete and she was ready to push!!!! Kristen quickly assembled the troops and supplies and before we knew it Dr. Jacobs was holding that bundle of love in her arms - Anna pushed no more than four times and Nolan was here not a second too soon! I (James), in good fortune, cut Nolan's chord and the boy was handed to a glowing mother. Anna, ecstatic about the successful and uneventful delivery, gave me a beautiful kiss with Nolan in her arms and exclaimed: "Ok... I think we can have more babies!!!" God truly shed His glorious light in that darkened room - Nolan is one of the most handsome sights these eyes have ever seen!!!
After the delivery all our friends and family returned to the delivery room and met the miracle. The above cast was joined by Lindsey, Gaga, Deda and, most importantly, Landon James!!! LJ was so sweet with Nolan those first few moments (although he was a little unsure about why his little brother was the one who got to spend all that precious time with mommy!!!).
We are so thankful for all of the prayers, texts, emails, and phone calls from our families and friends across the nation. With all the love in the world we again welcome our brand new boy: NOLAN!!!
