Baby Caleb

This past Saturday we went to Buxton Park to get some family photos done while Regina was still pregnant. Regina wanted to get some done and it was a beautiful day to get outside and enjoy the weather. Below are a couple of the better pictures.

It was a good thing that we decided to do those photos on Saturday because on Sunday Regina went into labor. Early Sunday morning Regina was leaking fluid so we headed to the hospital. We arrived at 4 am on Sunday and by 8:31 pm we had a baby boy. Caleb Bryce Erickson arrived at 8:31 pm on May 23rd. He was 8 lbs and 21 inches long. Regina was able to have a successful vbac delivery. All went well and we are currently recovering in the hospital. Below are a few of the pictures taken at the hospital.

Below are 3 professional photos that were taken at the hospital.

Week 38

I have had some requests to see what Regina is looking like lately. Below are the comparison photos between this pregnancy and Isaac's.

Isaac's pregnancy @ 38 weeks

Regina and I are working to get everything ready for the new baby. We still have a few things to accomplish. We were just talking about how once Regina gets to this Tuesday she will have carried this baby longer than Isaac. That means things are hopefully close to happening. We have another appointment on Tuesday to see how things are progressing. Right now everything is going well but not a lot of progression.

Week 37

We are now on week 37 of the pregnancy. We had an appointment on Tuesday and will have one every Tuesday from now on. The doctor wasn't sure if baby was head down so we had another ultrasound. The ultrasound confirmed that baby's head was down. Great news!!! Now we just have to get Regina through the last couple of weeks. Below are some pictures of Isaac from the last week.

This picture is from last week after Isaac's nap. His hair was everywhere. He definately needed a hair cut so on Saturday I gave him his 2nd hair cut. He did a lot better this time. He didn't cry or try to get to mommy. The only issue was that he still moves a lot, but that will get better with time.

The 2 videos below are of Isaac and his plastic golf clubs that Grandpa and Grandma Erickson gave him for his birthday. I was helping him hit the ball and after he got the hang of it he got excited. He was hitting it to me and I was throwing the ball back to him until I almost took one off the face (he hit it a little harder than I was expecting). The first one is a short one and the second one is in his room and I think it is funny (it is a little longer).
