Caleb's Birth Story
Last Friday Christian and I spent the New Year cleaning and organizing Caleb's room and putting in the car seat. Then Saturday afternoon we decided to treat ourselves to a movie matinee down in Reno. Right before we left I decided to throw our hospital bag in the backseat. I never thought in a million years we would actually need it an hour later! We were just starting the movie when all of a sudden my water broke! Christian and I both were crazy with excitement and nerves. We raced to the hospital and spent the next 22 hours in labor! I really wanted to go all natural but after 11 1/2 hours of going from the birthing ball to the bathtub and back to the bed I broke down and got an epidural.... it was the BEST thing I ever did!! It made the whole experience SO much easier! I ended up falling asleep and getting rest before pushing for 3 1/2 hours. It was all worth it when he showed up on Sunday, January 3rd! I know that every mother says this but he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! It is so amazing the love that coming rushing out of my heart every time I look at him! Here are some pictures of the big day. I will post more in a few days. Stay tuned because there are big developments each day!

Congratulations! I can't believe he's already here! That's not what I was expecting when I decided to check your blog! He has so much hair! WOW! He really is a beautiful little boy too! I'm so thrilled for you! Being a mom of a boy is absolutely wonderful... Even if you're up all hours of the night! Parker is 7 weeks today and is only up once a night so it does get better! Hang in there!
Congratulations, he is just beautiful.
Great Job Tawny!! That baby is beautiful and you look great too!!! You'll have to give me all your tips.
