Welcome Baby Brady!

Baby Brady arrived on May 12th at 11:31am.
He weighed 9 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long. Jayden was very excited to get to the hospital to
meet his little brother.
Most of the pictures we took are on my mom's camera,
so I will upload those later.
Here are the few I have from my camera.
Brady was earlier than expected,
but also bigger than expected!
It's a good thing I didn't carry him until May 26th,
my actual due date! He would have big huge! He has a ton of hair!Helping to keep Brady busy while getting his diaper changed...Jayden looks SO big to us now that Brady is here.Giving Brady a kiss
We don't think Brady "looks" like either one of us, or like Jayden!
We think he has a look of his own...
(although the Ericksons think he looks like his
Uncle Mark when Mark was a baby)
Brady is a good baby, loves to sleep!
Brady spent the first day in the NICU to be monitored for a few different things. We found out he has three openings in his heart. His pediatrician thinks they will close on their own, so we are hoping that she is right. Please pray for our little guy. We take him to the doctor tomorrow (Tuesday), and will schedule another echocardiogram (sp?) at that time.
Checking on Baby Brother...
Jayden is adjusting well.
He's still figuring out how to share his Mommy and Daddy,
but he loves his baby brother.
When Brady is crying Jayden says, "Don't cry Bray-ee!"
He loves Brady's toys too!


I'll post more pictures once I get over to my mom's house.
Until then...enjoy these! =)

So fun to talk with Jamie this pm! Love to you all. Can't wait to hold Brady sometime in July!

He is beautiful, Krista! Sounds like Jayden is adjusting well. I will continue to pray for the openings in his heart to close on their own & soon!

Congratulations! Brady looks pretty content and big brother is caring for him so well! Love the pics! We too will be praying for his health! A couple here at our Church had that challenge with their daughter, and they closed in due time! Blessings!
