Week 2- October 9

Here we are 2 weeks in and still loving having this precious little life in our arms! We not only feel so blessed to have the joy and honor to raise Caleb but we are overwhelmed by the love and support we are receiving from friends and family. It has been amazing to see so many people gather around us during this wonderful time of our life. The grandparents have blessed us by coming and staying for weeks at a time to cook, clean, and love their grandchild as if it were the only one. (This is Julie's parent's 4th grandchild and Craig's parent's 7th grandchild) Friends have blessed us with providing delicious meals- we never knew how great this would be until it is 7:00 pm and we are finally thinking about ourselves and wondering what to eat. Family has blessed us by driving long distances and making it a truly special day to spend with the newest addition to the family. We thank God everyday for each and everyone of you in our lives! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

We also wanted to update you on Caleb's first real doctor's appointment. Thankfully, Caleb has gained 1 whole pound since birth. He now weighs a whopping 9 pounds 8.5 ounces and is an inch longer (21 3/4 inches long). The Doc says everything looks great. Caleb is a very "laid back" baby. We need to go see a cardiologist because the doctor heard a heart murmur. He said it is probably nothing and will correct itself in 6 months. Please be praying for Caleb little heart and his kidney.

Don't forget to look at all of Caleb's Week 2 photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/Wennings/CalebWeek2# (I tried to make this a link but it didn't work- any of you bloggers out there want to lend a hand)
