Introducing Baby Brady

Happy Birthday Brady Alexander! Born April 5, 2011 at 5:08 pm weighing 8 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. This handsome baby entered the world as healthy as can be with no issues at all. What a wonderful experience this baby has been. we didn't have to take his little body into brain surgery at 2 days old, we didn't need to come home with monitors and oxygen after months in the hospital, we knew our prayers were answered for a healthy baby when we looked into those beautiful eyes for the first time. He's been a wonderful addition to our family and to our home.

We were a bit worried about how Carter was going to handle a new baby, sharing attention, crying (sensory integration dysfunction), an altered schedule. But he's done remarkably well, it is bizarre how nice its worked out. Carter doesn't pay much attention to baby Brady besides the occasional kiss on the forehead and playing with the new baby gear around the house. He's been a delight around Brady. So were just hanging out, doing 'normal' baby stuff like eating, sleeping, pooping and starting over, how refreshing! So here is what we've all been waiting for...Beautiful Baby Brady Pictures!

No Baby Yet

Still pregnant, still just waiting. I have now just hit my 22 month of pregnancy (thats right I said 22 months!) and we are anxiously awaiting this baby boy. Through all the many Ultrasounds, Non-Stress Tests and Genetic Testing, the Doctor says he's just as healthy as can be! He's estimated weighing in at 8 pounds already and is fixing to be a "moose" Doc says. So between popping tums and growing out of the maternity clothes, here we wait. Dr. B says it could be any day!

We are a bit nervous about how Carter's going to handle life when we bring this new little one home. Carter has been center of attention for many years and demands nothing less. So hopefully everyone gets along. He doesn't have a clue whats about to happen to his world.

So cross your fingers and await the big news, because this baby is coming whether we are ready or not! Oh and naming boy #3 has been a challenge, so hopefully he comes with a name tag!

Preschool

Carter started preschool about a month ago, we chose an early learning center in our community, I was so nervous I just knew he'd have a hard time. Turns out he loves it. He gets to ride the big bus that comes right to our door. It was strange how well he adjusted to school, it just shows how much he needed the stimulation. His teacher has a masters in special ed and early childhood education, she's so good with Carter and all his unique needs. He's even eating snack with the class, most days. I was a nervous mommy and sobbed that whole first day, but now we have both adjusted. Way to go Carter-Bug!

Also, Jordan just got his braces off and looks so handsome! He's now in 8th grade, this fall will head off to high school, gulp. He's so good with his brother, he's such a big help, even when Carter is beating on him.

It's a Boy

Well we found out that we are having another boy! I guess we only know how to make one kind of baby. This is our 3rd boy. Maybe this one will like to shop! The important thing is that he appears to be healthy. We've had an ultrasound every month since we found out and each suggests his brain structure looks good; no fluid, vents look normal, head size normal, no abnormalities detected (other then that kick stand between the legs, that wasn't suppose to be there). So everything looks good, I guess I'll take all the boys I can make! New family score Boys-3 Girls-1 maybe we should adopt a girl pet.
