Welcome Bjorn William
As many of you already know, Meghan and I had the incredible joy of welcoming our little boy, Bjorn William Anderson, into the world a few days ago on Thanksgiving evening. He is such an incredible, beautiful creation, and Meghan and I have been filled with such joy. At his birth, Bjorn weighed 9 lbs, 4 oz, and was 21.75 inches tall. Not a small guy! Thank you all so much for your calls, visits, and prayers. Mom, dad, and baby are all doing very well…except for a bit of fatigue on my and Meghan’s part. ;-)

He decided to be a little fussy for the first family picture.

And one more…This is Meghan’s Mom and her Mother (Great-Grandma Reck).
What a cute kid! It’s great to have the wait finally over. We rejoice with you during this special time.
Congratulations! I can’t wait to meet him!
I’m sure you heard this before, but it bears repeating – he’s beautiful and absolutely precious! Thanks for posting the photos, so that we can share even more in your joy!
Congratulations to the both of you. May God bless this little treasure. Merry Christmas!
Congratulations Erik! I can’t wait to see him! He is beautiful!
Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you guys! I can’t wait to meet the little guy – what a cutie! God bless!!
Bravo! Congrats to both of you! I’m sure he’s already got his first Cat6 to play with.
I’m just disappointed his middle name wasn’t “Fuggles”.
Anyway.. Nice work!
YEAH! Thanks for sharing the great pictures. We’re so excited for you and glad he met the family this holiday. Looking forward to seeing you all later on.
Congrats to you both! I can’t wait to meet him in about a month! I hope you’ve gotten enough sleep so far in your life, since you won’t get any more for at least the next few months.. ;-)
What a beautiful baby! Congrats and enjoy your time off. Welcome to the “mommy club”! Maria Gibbons
Congrats. He’s ever so handsome. I may have to come visit you guys so you can show off your new guy to me sometime this winter. Really, he is beautiful and I’ve been checking your blog daily to see when he would arrive. So excited for you. I’ve decided kids are one of the greatest blessings in the world (after having so so many friends with new babies in the last 2 years).
Erik and Meghan,
You have picked an excellent name…
Other excellent Scandanavian names for the future—
Knute, Nels, Jens, and Lars (all names of kids from my childhood)
Many Blessings on your FAMILY!
Congratulations! You all look so happy!
Congrats! He is such a beautiful baby boy! I guessed right that he would be born on Thanksgiving, but I was a little bit off on the weight. I can’t wait to meet him.

Congratulations many times over. What a blessing. You guys will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Meghan,
Thank you so much for the note about Bjorn! Congratulations to both you and your husband. Your little boy is gorgeous! I was just thinking about you this weekend and wondering if he had made an appearance yet. I love my new job but I miss you guys so much! Enjoy every minute of your time off with angel baby.
Love, Dawn
Hi Meghan and Erik! What a BEAUTIFUL baby boy! Bjorn is a very nice name, but I think I will call him Sven! :) You are very blessed and I am sure your holiday season will be even more wonderful with this perfect addition to your family! Love and Peace, Nikki Sickmann
