Catching up on sleep

Meetings and Greetings

Aunt Katie came up to visit from Cal Poly as did Fr. John and Fr. Kevin. Three very special people

.

Gwyn and Katie visited as well. Caleb is one lucky guy with so many wonderful people visiting him

Like Mother Like Son

Just like when his mommy was little, he puts his hand to his ear when he was sleeping. After a long day it is always rewarding to see the little positions and movements Caleb makes. 1 week old already.

I have been trying out his monitor this afternoon. Seems to be working pretty good. After finally getting him to sleep in his bassinet, I was able to have a nice relaxing dinner with Kimmy. Although I waited for about 25 minutes next to his side before I started trusting the monitor!

Caleb is finally here.

1:48 PM on 10/8.
6.5 hours of labor. no epidural just some morphine which took Mommy to a happy place. Mommy did so great. She thinks it was her coaches but all I did was let my hand be squeezed so hard that I have to type with one hand.... :)
8 lbs 13 oz - so big already!
20" long
2 dimples and a full head of hair!

Car ride home - he was crying the whole way. Guess we need to work on that one.
First night at home - he is a little uncomfortable but he has been doing better. A little gassy... Luckily we have a lot of good help from the Walkers and Alisha these first few days.

Current favorite activity - eating! The lactation specialist called him the barracuda. Is it good that he has a firm latch but poor kimmy...

Sleeping - over the shoulder. I wander around and he just is sleepy, and I just keep smelling his gas which makes me pretty sleepy from the fumes....



on our way home!

The time has come...
