Caleb Nathaniel Hobbs


Praise God! After 16 hours of labor, Caleb is finally here: weighing in at 6 lb. 7 oz. (which isn't too bad for a month early)! Caleb is in the NICU, because he was not getting quite enough oxygen. Mom said that he seemed to have a hefty cry when he came out, and they thought he was going to be fine. After he was all bundled up and drank from his bottle he was making tiny little noises and mom, Nathan, and Carlee thought it was the most adorable thing... but then the nurse came in and heard him, and grew a little concerned. She unwrapped the blanket and saw that his feet were bluish and he was cold. But he should be fine after a while and we're hoping he'll be out in time to spend some time with everyone before Carlee begins treatments! Thank you ALL for your prayers for Carlee and Caleb. Wow! How God has blessed our family with this sweet little boy. :) The kids and I can't wait to meet him today.
