It's a Boy!!

Caleb Ryder Rivera blessed our family at 3:47 p.m. on Sunday, June 16, Father's Day! He was 7 lb 4 oz and 18.75 inches.

Caleb was due on June 24, but he decided to make his appearance 8 days early. He wanted to wish Roberto a Happy Father's Day in person.

My mom was scheduled to fly out on June 19 as I was sure I was not going to have this baby any earlier. But I was very wrong. On Saturday I started having some contractions, but I was sure it was just because it was hot outside and I didn't drink enough water. So I drank a lot of water and they seemed to go away. On Sunday morning around 3 a.m. I started having contractions and timed them. Once Roberto woke up I told him today was the day so we set our plan B into motion. I called my mom and asked her if she could change her flight to today, called our friends Lisa and Jeb who offered to take the kids and then Roberto called our friend Brian and asked him if he would be willing to pick my mom up at the airport. We dropped the kids off at Lisa and Jeb's and headed to the hospital. A few hours later our handsome little boy was born. Here are a few pictures of our new addition.
