He's here!

Kade Reichert Andersen was born March 31, 2010 at 1:21 PM, weighing 8 lbs and measuring 22 inches long. It was a perfect delivery with no problems or complications. We are so blessed to have him join our family. The Spirit he has brought into our home has humbled us. He reminds us of the love of our Savior who created his sweet little body and atoned for his and all of our sins. How grateful we are for our growing, eternal family.

 This is Megan on Kade's due date, March 26, 2010. Thankfully, his five-day late arrival allowed Mom and Dad Reichert to be here the day he was born. Good timing, little one!
 We brought Kade home from the hospital the day Neil's brothers left for General Conference; so they still got to meet him, but didn't have to suffer any sleepless nights from his crying. Grace loves her new baby brother. The first thing she did when she saw him was say "beebee!" She took her wipes out of her diaper bag and dabbed his face, and then she offered him some of her animal crackers. As fun as it was to have her visit the hospital with my parents, she only lasted a short time before pushing the power button on the nurse's computer and sticking her fingers in all the outlets and cords running the equipment. Grace's favorite part of the hospital, however, was sharing my ice chips with me. She is glad to have us home again and we are all slowly adjusting to the new change.

Congratulations! He is precious! Yes, as nice as it is to have siblings come visit in the hospital, it's sometimes a little stressful. The best visits are short and sweet.
