Newest Lewis!!

Caleb Daniel Lewis

Our 'little' or not so little guy has finally arrived! He is perfect in every way and was definitely worth the wait! Caleb looks quite a bit like Ty but acts more like Mara! He arrived on Tuesday January 20 at 8:21 am. He weighed 9 lbs and was 20 inches long.

Everything went well with the delivery. My doctor was able to deliver him so I'm grateful he waited for her to return from her vacation. The staff was awesome, I really appreciate all the doctors and nurses that took such good care of us. Caleb was the only baby born this week in the Tillamook Hospital so we had all the attention from the nursing staff. It was nice to feel pampered!

Caleb LOVES to sleep! He is a great sleeper and a great eater! When he was born his blood sugar level was very low. He had to supplement on formula for the first day. His weight dropped to 8 lbs 11 oz on Thursday, but his weight was up to 8 lbs 14 oz on Friday--nearly back to his delivery weight.

Ty and Mara absolutely adore their baby brother. Mara was thrilled to see a new baby from the first moment! It took Ty a couple minutes to warm up to the idea, but once he started talking about all the fun things he was going to do with his baby brother (like go camping, wrestle, play ball...) he couldn't wait to hold him! They are both very helpful if that is the right word! They smother him with kisses, loves, and constantly want to share their toys and give him the binki--whether he wants it or not!

Caleb is perfectly patient, and it's a good thing to! He is patient with his two siblings smothering him. He's patient when it comes time to eat and his mommy isn't quite ready! He is really easy going and a happy baby. I prayed very hard before Caleb arrived that he would be healthy, happy, and an easy baby. I think my prayers have been answered, although it's only been five days so we'll see what happens.
