The first morning we were together as a family, Joseph discovered Aidan's bouncy chair. Without hesitation, he climbed right in the chair with his bottle and relaxed while watching Boohbah on the TV. It was too cute!

My boys!
God has blessed me with three wonderful boys to share my life with; what more could one ask for?
By the way, Joseph is adapting well to life with a baby brother. He kisses him, will hand me Aidan's pacifier to give to baby brother, & always is interested as to where his future sidekick is. At the same time, he can tune out his little brother's cries and go on with his business without missing a step.
Aidan Clark Meyer
As promised, here are some pictures of our newest addition. Aidan is a great baby, so far he is very mellow and only cries when he's hungry or gassy. Breastfeeding is going extremely well (knock on wood) and with all hopes he will have gained weight at his first pediatrician appointment this Friday.

How BIG will baby Meyer be?
Okay...Brad and I make big babies. It's no wonder since Brad was 10lbs. 6oz. and I was 9lbs. 13oz...but the last prediction of my doctor as to the size of our new bundle, left my chin on the ground. The doc is predicting 10.5-11 pounder!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? 11 pounds! Joseph was born at 38 weeks (due to size) and weighed 9lbs. 11oz. and if things go as scheduled, I'll deliver our new baby boy at 39 weeks. One week longer to cook and put on some weight. Apparently, the baby is broad, wide, with a big head (large head circumference comes from my side of the family :), from what the doctors can feel and how big my belly is....looks like we only grow linebackers.
To quote one of the doc's in my practice, "It's a good thing you're having a C-section!"
Look for updates this weekend (or as soon as I can get to my computer)...the go day is this Friday.

1 week to go...
So the end is in sight...a week from today, God willing, we will be holding our new son in our arms. This pregnancy has definitely been a challenge physically (you name it, I've probably dealt or am dealing with it), but has passed by in what seems a minute. I am sitting here, while my two boys are out for a quick run to the store, thinking how blessed I am. I am blessed to have such a wonderful & supportive husband, a beautiful son that surprises me everyday with his spirit, smile, and growth, an extremely loving family (both near and far), a church family that has welcomed us with open arms, and friends (old and new) that genuinely care for us. So, may I say thank you for all to hear and God bless.
I'll keep you updated; but as of right now we are scheduled for our C-section @ 9am EST. Please keep us in your prayers, especially for our new little guy!
