Baby Rader is Here!!!

Hello everyone, Baby Rader is here! On Wednesday, May 21st at 6:02 am. Jack Wesley Rader III was born. He couldn't wait to come out and be apart of the family. He is healthy at 20 1/2 in. and 7lb. 5oz.
Jack and I were so happy to meet our new little one. From the moment he came out he was crying and wouldn't stop, which they said was a good sign to clear his lungs. He looks just like Jack (so everyone says) and has a head full of beautiful reddish/brown hair. He is perfect in so many ways. He has been an amazing baby and we can't get enough of him. He has been a good sleeper, more so during the day then at night and eats non- stop. Jack has been amazing, helping in so many ways. He is the best diaper changer and rocker.

Wednesday is the BIG day!

This Wednesday at 10:30 we are scheduled for our C-Section. We will be at Scripps Mercy Hospital on the 3rd floor if you want to come say hi. We will have both of our phones so call us.

Now that we have our exact date and time I have been busy getting last minute things that we will need for once we get home. The baby stuff is getting packed for the hospital, diapers are being bought in mass quantity and everything is being cleaned. I dont know how long Im going to be out of commision so Im trying to get as much done now as possible.

Jack is going to have a phone list of people to call shortly after the baby is born to share the exciting news. Is it going to be Addison or Jack? Only 6 more days till we meet this little one!

Big Baby Rader News

We had our 38 week Dr. appointment today. I was excited to find out more about this baby and if it was coming anytime soon. Well it ends up that the baby will be born on May 21st. Yes, 9 days from now we will be welcoming Baby Rader into the family. The baby has decided to stay in a head up position instead of flipping down. I will be having a C-Section on the 21st as of now. We will keep you posted as we find out any more info.
The baby room is pretty much ready. After I get some last minute things done I will put up a picture. I really only have this weekend to do it! Jack has been busy putting things together. Our house is looking like a baby lives in it. The pack n play and swing are taking over our living room. Kona is probably wondering what all these new things are to play with. If she only knew what was coming her way. When I was putting the mobile together she thought it was for her. There was a part that looked like a really fun blue ball that she was keeping her eye on the entire time I had it out of the box.
Here is a picture of me at 38 weeks. Some people say I have "dropped" I really don't know, it all seems the same to me...BIG!
I'll try and update again before this baby comes. We are looking forward to visitors.
