Three years ago, I was sitting in Dr. Bervine's office bawling my eyes out, after receiving the news that Baby Caleb would be arriving nearly a month early. The tears were a result of a combination of fear for Caleb's and my health, my out-of-control hormones, the realization that motherhood, at this point, really was inevitable, and a general feeling of lack of preparedness. Not to mention I was going to miss my own baby shower! I remember saying over and over again, "I'm not ready. I'm not ready." But, ready or not, here he came! After losing a heartbeat and scaring the begeezes out of me and Isaac, there he was. I got to see him for only a moment before they whisked him away, but, in that moment, our eyes connected and I fell in love more deeply than I ever thought imaginable. Three years ago, I could never have envisioned that this tiny, 5 lb. baby, that still slightly resembled a fetus, would grow into such a loving, smart and adorable little boy. Isaac and I are truly blessed.
Caleb had his birthday party at Edventure this year. He had a blast! We were so fortunate to have so many friends and family members there to share in his special day. Caleb insisted on a Toy Story cake (after I had planned for a Thomas cake for months!). I think it turned out OK, considering it was my first attempt with fondant and gum paste. Caleb liked it, and that's what counts! Here are some pictures from the party:
