He's Here!!!

Our little boy is finally here. Caleb Berry Ewell was born on April 6th at 7:50am, he was 18.5 inches and 7lbs. Everything went really well, even though my doctor about passed out during the c-section. Don't worry Brent caught him and helped him sit down before he hit the floor. He was able to recover and close. Through all the wiggling around during the last 9 months Caleb managed to wrap the cord around his neck a few times, so we where very glad that we were having a planned c-section. Everything was going well until the day before we were going to go home and his heart rate dropped for a minute and everyone panicked and almost rushed him to the NICU, but they all calmed down and they just put him on some antibiotics for a few days. I forgot to mention that He did spend and few hours in the NICU right after he was born for some breathing treatments that he didn't even need. (we're still not happy about that!) He was able to come home happy and healthy as can be on Saturday afternoon. A few days later we got a call from our pediatrician and Caleb's PKU test came back abnormal on his thyroid levels. So we had to get more blood work done, but all the results came back good. Everything is good now.


The Big Brothers!!
(Kyler didn't want to share his new little brother with anyone)
I am so glad that my parents and Brent's parents were there to take care of my kids while we were at the hospital. My mom even came and helped me out the next week when I came home. I am so glad she was there to help me out with the kids.
