Caleb's Birthday!

Here they are-the much awaited pictures of our new little Caleb Thomas Williams! He was born Friday September 19 at 1:39 PM. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz. and is 21 inches.




Here's the tired but happy mommy, after 3 hours of pushing-what a workout!


He has a full head of dark hair-and from what we can tell he definitely has mommy's ears. :)















Jeremy was an excellent labor coach and now a proud new father.












Snug as a bug in a rug! He loves to be swaddled tight.

Posted by PicasaHere he is-all ready to go home on Sunday afternoon. It is wonderful to be home!
Friends and family-we love you all. Thanks for your love and support. We feel so very blessed.

Rachel, you are amazing! What an ordeal--you look great, I can't believe thats how you look after such a long labor. Thanks for posting the pics so quickly, I must have scrolled through them 20 times. We are so excited for you guys and feel grateful that you are home and well. I say we're 'excited' but it really doesn't even begin to cover it. I just want to yell I'm so happy and relieved for you both. Let the good times begin...
Let us know if there is anything we can do for you down here. Love you and your little family!

CONGRATULATIONS, Rachel & Jeremy!! I was so thrilled to receive your email and to be able to view these beautiful pictures of you and your handsome boy! My thoughts have often turned to you these last few weeks and I'm so happy the delivery went well (albeit long) and that you and the baby are healthy! Congratulations on being first time parents! You two are going to be fantastic parents and Caleb is so lucky to have you! I hope to talk to you soon, Rachel!

CONGRATS, again!!!
