Today is the anniversary of the day Cooper was created!One year ago today, at around 10:30am, Cooper was specially made, in the CCRM lab along with his 27 other embryo brothers and sisters.
We can't believe it's been a whole year since that day. Little did we know then, that one of those embryos would survive -- our little embryo that could -- and be born nine months later.
This is the prayer we said to God the night before the big day.

And this is how we were feeling after our egg retrieval, at the same time Cooper was being created in the CCRM lab.

We owe a lifetime of thanks to the brilliant Dr. Schoolcraft to whom none of this would be possible, and to our amazing embryologist, John Stephens, who gave our little Cooper life. It's incredible to think of how much has changed since that day. It was the beginning of life, not only for Cooper, but for us in a way too.
We have so much to celebrate, and we wanted to mark this very special day that Cooper came to be. And what a celebration it is!
We love you so much Cooper.
HAPPY LIFEDAY FROM YOUR MOM AND DAD! xoxo

This is the cake we got for the occassion -- with a photo of Cooper as an embryo. We're pretty sure that he was the bottom left one, but we'll never know for sure!
