Check out our new kid!

Seriously, they don't get much cuter than this!





Here's the lowdown:
Caleb James Hrabar was born April 1 at 12:05 pm, he weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 19 inches long. He's being kept in the nursery tonight on "intermediate" status so the nurses can monitor his blood sugar and give him antibiotics. He was supposed to receive the antibiotics through my system while I was in labor, but since he came so darn fast, he has to get them through his own IV now. The whole labor only lasted 4 and a half hours, and he surprised us all by coming in only two pushes! This was good since my epidural was not very effective... The nurses were able to get the room ready in time for his arrival, but there was no time for chatting. We'll be going home on Friday. Kelly and Matt haven't gotten to hold him yet because he was still NICU status when they were visiting. His labs are looking great and we expect him to be rooming in with us tomorrow night!
