Drew's First Trip to the ER

We have had quite the eventful Saturday morning in the Milliorn house. After breakfast Andy and I were in the nursery getting stuff ready for our trip next week when we heard Drew screaming and crying from the other room. We go out into the kitchen to see him coming in from the living room with blood pouring from his forehead. We got a wet rag and tried to stop the bleeding, but quickly decided he needed to go to the hospital. Thankfully we only live 2 minutes from Mansfield Methodist Hospital. We scooped him up and were there not more than 10 minutes after the whole thing started. The bleeding stopped pretty quickly, but he did need 4 stitches to sew up the 1 inch gash on his forehead. We are not really sure what happened, he said he hit it on the door in Andy's office, but we can't find any sign of where he hit.


This pictures was taken with Andy's phone in the waiting room of the hospital. He looks so pathetic, but just 15 minutes later when the numbing stuff started to work he was smiling and ready to play (until they came in to do the stitches).


He was such a brave little boy, so the doctor gave him a bunch of stickers. Andy and I are actually a little surprised it took 3 years for us to have to take Drew to the ER. I am sure it won't be our last trip.


Edit: I thought I would edit this to show a few pictures of the actual stitches. He is getting them out tomorrow, but I thought they should be recorded too. As you can tell, they haven't bothered him too much.

The Official Verdict is Finally In

Today we had our sonogram to tell us the sex of the baby. It is a boy... no doubt about it. The sonogram tech said "well, its a boy and he isn't shy!" His name will be Cooper James Milliorn. Drew is pretty excited. As Andy and I were discussing (in front of Drew) the name Cooper, Drew started saying "Cooper, Cooper, Cooper" so that settled any doubts we had about the name.

While I am not sure I have the energy for 2 little boys, we are all really excited. I can't wait to meet the little guy.

I will try to get some sono pics up soon.
