Caleb is here!

Caleb arrived 5/22 at 7lbs 9oz and 20.5". 

Labor was a long 23 hours.  I remember saying many times that I just wanted to go home and sleep!  :)

I don't have pictures yet and most likely will take awhile as our internet here at home sucks...and I don't have time! 

He is doing well....BF is not going well...and I sure could use a nap!

Re: Caleb is here!

  • CONGRATS! I love the name, I hope bf will get easier for you. I know it's a lot of work. Keep it up and get some help from a lactation consultant if you haven't yet. Oh' and I'm sure you've been told nap when the baby does. Can't wait to see pics.

  • Congratulations! I love his name too (it's my little nephew's name, too). Looking forward to pictures.
  • Congratulations on your new little guy!  Hope things get better for you w/ the BFing and sleep!  I know I'll be there soon...yikes. 

    Enjoy your new little bundle.  Can't wait to see pics!

  • Congrats!!!! Love the name!

    BF didn't work for us even after many trips to the lactation consultants. My only advice is that if you feel like you are going nuts and not enjoying your son, switch to formula. I feel like I was a psycho spazz the first 6 weeks of his life because of pumping a total of one ounce a day and getting blood and finally giving up. Best decision I made.

  • Congrats!  And ditto Melly, I did absolutely everything I could do to breastfeed (lactation consultants, herbal remedies, Rx from doctor) and still did not give up for 8.5 weeks.  I think it partially ruined my experience.  Give it your best shot, but there is nothing wrong with formula!
  • Congrats, and I LOVE the name Caleb.
  • Congrats on your little man! Hope everything goes good!
  • Congratulations! Can't wait to see pictures.
  • Congratulations! Hopefully the BF gets easier for you. It was tough in the begining for me. Enjoy your new little baby!

  • congrats!  i bf, but he gets formula once in a while.  nothing wrong with whatever you decide is best for both of you.  caleb needs a mom that is not stressed about one more thing.  you have enough other things to worry about.
