Our Special Delivery...




Please welcome Brady Elijah Enders born at 11:56 am on Tuesday, June 10th. He was 6.7lbs and 19.5 inches long. He is the most beautiful and precious little angel. He is so small, but so cute. His apgar scores came back as an 8 and 9. It was a different experience having a c-section, but still an emotional experience. It was the most amazing thing I've ever gone through in my entire life. The funny part is the doctor asked what kind of music I wanted to listen to and I told him Dave Matthews and he actually had it. Brady came into this world listening to mom and dad's favorite band. Since he had to listen to them the entire time in the womb, I hope it becomes his favorite too.

The photo is our first family photo. They brought him into see me after being in recovery for almost two hours. It took just over an hour for him to get all of his tests done in the nursery so it wasn't too long we were apart. The other photos is of Brady and dad's first diaper change.

His first visitors were Grandma Lehman, Crazy Aunt Mindy, Jessika and Beau Pelt, and then Grandma Enders to bring him home on Thursday.

I would also like to say a special thank you to the nurses and staff at JFK hospital, they were wonderful. All the nurses were so kind. Baby Brady was the talk of the nursery and so was his daddy.They all said they have never seen such a proud and happy papa following Brady in and out of the nursery. They said they could see his face imprint on the nursery window.

Dad stayed in the hospital with me on Tuesday night and then Grandma Lehman took shift on Wednesday night and they released me late in the afternoon on Thursday. We had our first night home last night and I think all and all things went pretty well. Dad took the first shift, except feedings, and mom did the second shift.

Speaking of feeding, we are having a hard time getting him to latch and feed, but we're hoping he's going to get there. We have to take him to the doctor on Tuesday to make sure his weight is okay, his jaundice is all clear, and he's all good. We then take him back to the doctor on the 19th or his circumcision...this appointment i am not so much looking forward to. Going to need dad for that one.

Well Brady is calling so it's time to call it quits for tonight, but I'll post more pix later and add them to snapfish and shutterfly and send them out.

Lastly, thank you to everyone for all the texts, emails and phone calls. We love you all and greatly appreciate your support.
