I'M THE SKINNIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

Okay, so not really, but this is how I have felt for the past 23 glorious days.

That is because on July 20 at 12:53 a.m. our sweet Caleb Lawrence entered the world. Our little man weighed 8 lbs and 9.8 ounces, and honestly was the prettiest baby I've ever seen. I know I am going to be biased because he is mine, but I was fully expecting him to be all alien like. Even some of the nurses throughout the week made comments on how pretty he was. One said she honestly has never told a couple that because newborns are just not pretty and she is not going to lie just to make someone feel better and she thought he was beautiful.

After he came back from the nursery. Loving him so much!

Our first fam pic- sorry Daniel, you're head got a little chopped off

Just hours old, sorry I don't know how to flip itMeeting his grandparents for the first time, since they didn't get to see him the night he was born due to his breathing probs and fever

Anyway, the past 23 days with our little coccolo (italian for pampered, chubby baby) have been heavenly. He honestly, knock on wood, is a great baby. He has maybe cried once for more than a minute or two, but even that was about a 5 minute spell. And better yet, he only wakes up once in the middle of the night, and then early morning but will still go back to sleep so as to let his lazy mama get at least 8-10 hours of good sleep.

We've had a couple of problems but they have all been resolved. Little cocco was immediately taken to the nursery for observation when born because he was having breathing problems and running a fever. Then when we came home he was having latch on problems, but after he dropped a full pound from his birth weight, he was 3 ounces over his birth weight by the next Thursday and at 3 weeks was a full 10 lbs.

Anyway, my hubs just came home for a surprise visit, so this is a good place to leave off and say I'll be back later to finish the rest!
