We are proud to announce Caleb James Wenning!! It was such a fun day and we feel so blessed to be trusted by God to raise this adorable child!! The whole process began at about 1:00 a.m. (if you ever want to know what it is like to have your water break Julie will tell you but we will spare the details on the blog). We were at the hospital by 2:00 a.m. and hooked up to all the machines by 3:00 a.m. Mimi and Papa (Julie's parents in Austin) were on their way shortly there after. We tried to get some rest between contractions but it was all too exciting. Julie made it through some bad contractions between 9:00 a.m and 11:00 a.m. and got the epidural. The doctor was supposed to come during her lunch break to check but never made it. About 1:30 p.m. the amazing nurse, Melissa, checked about 1:30 p.m. and was shocked to see the head. By 1:45 p.m. Julie was doing some "practice" pushes while waiting for the doctor. Three practice pushes later - the little guy was ready to join the world but we had to wait for the doctor. Twenty minutes passed and the doctor suited up and it was "GO" time! Julie pushed half of a contraction and boomed Caleb was out at 2:16 p.m.
He weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He is absolutely precious!! Everyone is very shocked of his big size, big feet and hands, and his head full of dark hair (Craig was a blonde and Julie was strawberry blonde). We are all curious to see what will happen to his hair in the months to come.
It was a GREAT day with GREAT new beginnings!! Thanks for all your prayers for a safe and easy delivery!
The happy grandparent's- Mimi and Papa
