Caleb Michael

Our son is officially here! He is 8lbs 2oz and he is 20 inches long. Caleb was born on 2/4/09 at 11:38 pm. I was in labor for approx. 4 hours. Serious contractions started at 7:00 and I called Jed to come home at 8:00 pm from worship practice. That was a humorous phone call because I believe the only person nervous was Bethany who answered Jed's phone since he was in the sound booth. We got to the hospital around 9m and I was triaged and admitted. I was already dilated 6cm and I was about 90% effaced. I received an epidural in the 10-10:30 pm range. I requested my epidural basically as soon as I walked into triage due to Isabel being such a speedy delivery. Once they broke my water shortly after I received the epidural things really kicked into gear and from 10:30-11:30 I went from 7 cm to 10cm . I started pushing around 11:30 and he was hear after 2 sets of pushes at 11:38pm. I was blessed to have Jed, Becky and Kristen in the room for his delivery. I had a great support system and an awesome nursing staff. Kristen and Bex took some awesome photos that we will treasure!

He is very healthy, happy and such a BLESSING. Today has been very busy with visitors. Caleb got to meet his big sister Isabel. She was very cute with him and is going to be a great big sister to Caleb. My mom and Jed's mom were able to come along with several friends. We are truly blessed to have Isabel and Caleb in our lives.
