Brayden made his debut on Monday, October 17th at 8:49pm. He came in weighing 7lbs/15oz and 21 1/2 inches long. Good thing we were 9 days early, otherwise he might have been a pretty big baby :) He is so beautiful, if we don't say so ourselves. I think he looks like both Joel and myself. He's perfect!! It's so amazing to finally meet the little person that you have been carrying around for so long. It's such an unforgetable experience!
All Brayden's grandparents, his uncle Bryce, and great grandma Mary were there to welcome him to the world. They were all anxiously awaiting his arrival, this is the 1st grandchild both both families and great grandchild for all but my grandma Helga (#24)!
We were scheduled to go home on Wednesday night but Tuesday night I had spiked a fever of 101 and we needed to stay at least 24 hrs w/o another spike. My fever would come and go so I was hooked up on antibiotics and we FINALLY were able to come home on Friday. They didn't know why m temp was spiking b/c everything came back negative, perhaps a virus of some sort. Joel was a "SUPER" Dad and husband taking care of us. That's why we were unable to post the GREAT news until this morning. Last night was our first night at home and it went pretty well. His great aunt Cindy Domres stopped by to welcome him home.

Andrea and Joel!
I'm so happy for you both. He is so adorable and I can't wait to meet the little guy. I have been anxiously awaiting his picture on your website. It has been so much fun being pregnant at the same time as you Andrea and now we'll get to talk all about being moms. I am excited for Brooke and Brayden to meet. I must admit that I am very jealous that you went before me!!! I'm still waiting (but will be induced on Monday night if I don't go before then.) I will call you!!! Give Brayden a hug and kiss for me. Love, Stacy
Congrats, Joel and Andrea! Brayden is so beautiful- I am so excited that he's finally here! I have faithfully been watching your site for the news! Thanks for the great update! It makes me anxious for the next 22 weeks to pass quickly, although I'm sure they'll be gone before I know it. Congrats again to the beautiful family!!
Congratulations Andrea & Joel!

Andrea, do you think you will be able to show him off to the girls at work sometime in November?
