Caleb Todd Thornley

Caleb Todd Thornley was born April 2, 2008 at 5:23 pm. He weighed 7lbs 4 ounces and was 19 inches long. Pretty big for being so early. He was 38 weeks and 3 days. Apparently I was due on Apr. 13, not the 17th, my dr's office told me wrong. I had my dr. appt at 9am yesterday. I played a game of dutch baseball with the ym/yw the night before and my pelvis was killing me (this is what probably put me into labor). I was dilated to a 5 and the dr wanted me to have this baby. I was a little hesitant because I didn't think I was in labor and it was a little early. He told me to come back in an hour and see if I had changed. Luckily Mark cancelled his patients for the day and we found a place for James and Andrew to be (thank you Heidi and Steph), because an hour later I was at a 6! I was sent upstairs to labor and delivery. My water was broken at 2:30, and he was born at 5:20! We are all doing well. James and Andrew think he is just the greatest thing (wait until he comes home!!). James is especially sweet with him. Man, I was huge!!

Seconds after Caleb was born. They let
me hold him right after he came out!

Can't you just see the joy in James' face?

Me with my THREE boys!

My FOUR handsome boys!

I think that's a booger on his face.....;)

Congratulations! Can't wait to see him. It sounds like the labor went pretty well. Or at least pretty quickly. :)

Let us know if we can do anything to help.

congratulations! and, you look great for just having had a baby! and, i'm impressed that both your children are dressed in normal clothing...Jim's not so good at that stuff. in fact, Haylee had to find clothes for Brady the other day.

Good work Heidi!! Gotta love early babies right? Enjoy your tiny newborn and hopefully your big boys will be great little helpers (including Mark :)

Rest up for a few weeks, and then we'll see you on the runners thread again!
