Caleb's Birth-Part 2

Ma and Pa surprised the kids with new big brother and big sister shirts when they came to meet Caleb.

 Meeting all the grandparents! Grand kids are coming like crazy these days!

 Gwen gave Caleb some love and then just wanted to sit next to me in bed and under the covers.
 The Nielson boys!
We had lots of visitors and sadly I didn't get pictures of everyone.

 Aunt Lisa, Aunt Jodi and my good friend, Kristin also came to visit us while we were in the hospital.
On Thursday afternoon, we packed everything up and got ready to head home. It was also our 10th anniversary that day. Eric brought me some beautiful roses. I gave him a baby. 
I never thought 10 years ago we would celebrate our 10th anniversary with a brand new baby. But I wouldn't trade him for any kind of trip we would have taken instead. 




 All ready to go home!


 I always forget how tiny they are in the car seats.
 His siblings could not wait to have us come home. They all wanted to hold him immediately. 






 Uncle Andrew got to come check Caleb out. He was pretty smitten with this new baby. 
 Gwen is amazed at how little Caleb's hands and feet are.
 Tessa made this beautiful sign to welcome us home. She did the block letters and I think Adam helped her color everything. 
 Eric's co-workers all pitched in and bought me this gorgeous bouquet of flowers. It has made our house smell so amazing!!
Now we are adjusting to a normal life with a newborn...whatever that is. He is having trouble eating, but I will save that for another post.
We are so thankful for all the love and support we received while we were in the hospital and afterwards. Having this beautiful little boy join our family has made us all so very happy!!
