Kade Thomas Eason was born on June 23rd at 1:03pm, weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. He was a little smaller than we expected, but oh so perfect!

Tuesday was our planned Cesarean day. We spent the morning talking with Brock about where Mommy and Daddy were going and giving Grandma some last minute instructions for her babysitting duties.
Before long, we were all checked in, prepped for surgery and ready to meet our new little guy!
Kade came out peeing in true boy style! The doctors worked to clamp off the umbilical cord and clean him up a bit and suddenly I hear, "He has the scissors, he has the scissors!" Apparently my powerful little boy put his little fingers perfectly in the finger holes of the scissors and would not loosen his grip when the doctor tried pulling them away! He may be smaller than Brock, but he is definitely very strong and way more feisty!
After a nice little sponge bath, Kade was ready to nurse. He likes to eat and is a very good sucker!
I spent two hours after surgery in the recovery room, then they moved us to the Mother/Baby Room (and Daddy!) where we stayed for two nights. It is amazing how differently I felt after this procedure than the last. I was ready to have visitors that same evening!
My mom came and brought Brock to meet his new little brother!
I think Brock was a little overwhelmed at the hospital - too many new things and new buttons to press! He liked that he received two presents from his new baby brother!
We left the hospital on Thursday afternoon and we were all glad to be going home. Our family is complete and we couldn't be happier that he's here and he's healthy. Here's wishing to a happy sleepy baby and a tantrum-free toddler - at least until my recovery is over! Welcome home Kade - we love you!
