About to Head Home

Well, it's day number two in the hospital and both mommy and Caleb are doing great. It's been quite a ride. Caleb was circumcised last night. Let's just say I'm glad they do it when we're babies....yikes! Caleb has been feeding like a champ...they boy can suck! Yesterday they detected a small heart murmur. It's still there today, so they're doing some more checking. However, it doesn't seem to be that big a deal. Initial tests show no signs of anything wrong.

All and all, we're doing pretty darn good and excited about bringing Caleb home! We just got told we can go home! We'll post more later. Here are some more pics from yesterday and today.

Pics of Caleb

Welcome Caleb Michael!!!

So, Thursday Amy and I are eating at Happy Panda talking about how we need to go to Costco before Caleb comes. So, we head to Costco and get some stuff (i.e. TP, batteries, meat, etc). Did I mention this happens to be the biggest Costco in the world? Needless to say we spent a lot of time walking. Then Amy had a Pregnancy Acupressure Massage later that night at around 9pm. Oh, I forgot to mention that we had a doctors appointment on that afternoon at 2:20. Our midwife performed some natural induction methods.

Well, at around 10:45 pm it started to become clear that Amy was different type contractions. By 12:30 am her contractions had been 3 minutes apart for over an hour. We called our duola and midwife and headed to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital Amy was at around 2 cm. Within 1.5 hours she had progressed to 8 cm. Can you say, "ouch!" Seeing Amy in this kind of pain was not pleasant. By this time in the labor the whole phrase "just say no to drugs" was not in our reptorie.

By 10:36 am on Friday, Nov 2nd little Caleb came into the world. Man, that was the craziest, most amazing thing I've ever been apart of...I'm still coming off the high.

Caleb weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 19 3/4 inch in length. Both Caleb and Amy are doing great. Thanks to everyone for your prayers!
