I can't get enough!!

As if you cannot tell I kind of like this little guy!  I can't get enough of him!!  He has been under bili lights for the last 2 days so none of us have been able to hold him NEAR enough!!  He still is young, but is so content and sweet, he rarely cries.  He is so calm.

Meet JJ Ryder Nielsen

Here is our newest family favorite!!  Boy do we love him!!  9lbs 7oz!  20.5 in. long.

I do have to share the story of his name because it is actually a cool story!!  When I first got pregnant Jared decided he loved the name JJ.  I was not absolutely keen on it and would tell him we would see.  He got the kids all on board with the name and that is what they would call him.  We decided when I was about 6 months pregnant that JJ was not the name and were thinking of several others.  Trevor and Shelby refused to quit calling him JJ. 

On our way to the hospital we had decided that his name would probably be Ryder.  I told the Dr. that and he said he really liked it.  After he was born the Dr said, "so is his name Ryder then?"  I said, "I don't know Jared, is it."  The Dr then said, "Do you guys like BYU football" we told him that we did and then he said, "this kid is big, he looks like a running back, you should name him JJ"  I could not believe it!  I told the Dr. that is what Jared wanted to name him.  I took it as a sign and low and behold, his name JJ Ryder Nielsen.  I have to admit I absolutely LOVE IT!!

Tomorrow!!! I cannot wait!!

Well tomorrow is the big day!!  Baby boy will make his appearance into our family.  We could not be more excited.  I have to admit that I am a tad bit nervous, but that is natural.  I cannot wait to meet him and hold him.  I will definitely post pictures. YAY!!
