Andrew came as scheduled yesterday, June 25th at 6:16pm. He is adorable and BIG! He is just 2oz short of being 9lbs. Ironically, when I checked in for the C-Section, I was actually in labor! But, the nurses and doctor still thought it was best to take Andrew as planned. We are thankful to the Lord not only for our new son, but also for his orchestration of his arrival! Andrew was found to be posterior, very high, and had the cord around his neck. We are thankful for a healthy guy and for the way recovery has gone. Apparently, 18 hours of labor and then a rushed C-Section does take more toll on your body then a scheduled C-Section! :)
Here are some pics...
Jacob has done pretty well with meeting baby brother. He sang the "my baby" song, tried sharing his snack with the baby, and has even tried giving the baby toys to play with - including a brand-new hot wheels car! When he left to go home from the hospital today, he asked if baby brother was coming with him - and even offered to let baby brother sleep in his race car bed.
Thank you all for your prayers for us. Please be praying for Andrew and some tests the doctors are running. He has some minor heart beat issues and some fast breathing. The nurses think that it is pretty normal, but we're running some blood tests tonight as well as an x-ray in the morning.
We'll keep you updated!

Praise God for a healthy baby and Mommy! I love the name, carrying on a namesake is wonderful. Praying for a quick recovery and smooth transition with Jacob.
We are SUPER joyful for you! Isn't God good?!
We'll be praying for the tests this morning.
Way to go guys! You have such a handsome little guy! If Jacob is anything like my nephews it is quite a sacrafice that he offered his little brother a new hot wheels car :)Praying for you all!
Welcome little (or not so little...)Andrew! Congratualtions Matt and Brianne, and Jacob too! We've been praying a lot for you four these past few days and were eager to hear the news. We'll continue praying for your recovery and for the tests they're running.

Hooray!!! Welcome Andrew!!!
By the way, yesterday Josh said, "We need to go visit the Kopps. I miss Matt."
Yeah, I am so glad that you are all "well". :-) I am also SO glad that you too are finding your second 'section a bit easier than the first. I'll continue to pray for a quick recovery and no delay in taking your new little boy home.
Congratulations! We hope all is going well with Andrew. We obviously like the name :)
