Caleb Joshua Elston

FINALLY entered this world early in the morning on March 25th, 2011.  He decided to be different... which may be a good thing, than his sisters!  He almost made it to his actual due date!!  Even better - he gave me a lovely Harry Potter style stretch  mark smack-dab in the middle of my tummy in the extra week that I had to carry him in utero.  No lie... he made his mark.
Mom, aka "Mozzie", was here already and that came in super handy since my water broke without notice in the middle of the night - around 1:45am!  We made it to the hospital around 3ish... epidural around 5:30 and he was here shortly after weighing 6lbs and 10oz!  Welcome to the world sweet baby Caleb!!!




 Big sisters came to visit their little brother later that day!  Mozzie somehow missed out on the camera pictures... although I got her with the phone camera!  They were super excited and more than cute... ready to hold, cuddle and kiss.  They've both refused to change diapers though...  They were awareded with their "Big-sister-helper-princess-capes" that I made earlier that week.  That was cool... for at least a minute... but not as cool as baby Caleb.







 Time to go home!  We were pleased to leave early on Saturday - before lunch even :)  Guess that's what happens when it's your 3rd child (with an uncomplicated delivery).  Praise the Lord - we're happy to have you here and in our arms little man!! Also pretty cute and a little nostalgic to see you in the same little carseat that your sisters used.
