Bath Time

Caleb got his first bath at home last night. It's amazing how he can go from screaming while we wash him to absolutely content wrapped in his puppy towel.

The Difference

The difference between one hour of sleep for Trish and Andy........


And a restful, long nights' sleep is.........


A vibrating bouncy seat, binky, and a tiny bit of supplement formula to top of Caleb's tummy! We are adapting quickly!!!!

More visitors and "Welcome Home"

We had a few more visitors to see baby Caleb on Sunday night and Monday.

Doug, Stacey, and Peyton came to visit again on Sunday.


We were let go from the hospital on Monday around 1:00pm. Caleb finally got a chance to be introduced to his new home. In addition to that, we were surprised by Doug & Stacey with balloons, streamers, and signs saying "welcome home Caleb" hanging all over outside the house!



There was also a huge banner inside the house saying "Welcome Home Caleb!" that one of our parents and/or Seth & Joanna made.

Thank you everyone who came to visit us in the hospital and share our new bundle of joy. For those that couldn't make it, we're excited for you to meet him! Thanks again to our parents and Seth & Joanna for staying this weekend and helping with the dog & cat, cleaning the house, and making us some delicious casseroles. It is very much appreciated!

Lastly, here's Caleb chilling in his boppy before bedtime!

Thanks for everyone who's come to visit us in the hospital. We're glad you got to meet our little man!

Caleb Michael Bartlett

Last night, shortly after 6:00pm, Caleb Michael Bartlett entered the world! He was born 19 3/4 inches long and weighed in at 8 lbs 0 ozs.



There was lots of family here to help us welcome him to our family too!










Mom and baby are doing great!

39 WEEKS

We are upon the eve of our baby entering the world. Tomorrow happens to be the 39 week mark and also the birthday of our little boy. Below is the 39 week information from babycenter.

"Our baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already weighs a bit over 7 pounds. The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath."

Here's Trish at 39 weeks.



Tomorrow's the big day! We'll be arriving at the hospital at 7:00am to begin the inducement and then things start to roll! The next post will be the introduction of our little one............!!!!!!!!

The End is Near!!!

Another week of tests at the hospital, and another week they tell us to wait. Although at the end of our appointment yesterday the nurse asked us if we knew we were scheduled for an induction next Friday. We said "NOOOOOOOOO!?!?!" At last! We now know that our doctor plans to induce Trish on Friday, September 24th at 5:30am. We are so excited and now the final countdown can begin.

We got a couple more pictures of our boy and he definitely looks ready to meet us. The first one shows his hand really well in front of his face. This stinker has ALWAYS had his hands in front of his face every time we've had an ultrasound.



The next pic shows his cheeks all smooshed up again. He's gonna have some chubby cheeks!!!
