It's ANOTHER Boy!
Enré Caleb, born at 4:08am on Tuesday, November 23rd 2004. He measured in at 3.91kg (8lb 7oz) - 77th percentile, 52cm (20.5in) - 74th percentile.
There is somethnig truely overwhelming about this time when you get to meet this tiny person that's filled spaces in your heart that you did know exist for 9 odd months. We have so much to be thankful for! Most of all we are thankful for this beautiful gift from God, who is perfect in every regard.
We have so much to tell, but as it goes with birth stories, it's a lot more interesting to those who actually experienced it. We cannot omit though that God graciously granted a labor that lasted only a little over 4 hours, of which 45 minutes was rather serious and 20 minutes was in the theatre. As with Duvan, 3 sets of pushing saw Enré into this world.
The pictures we took today was sadly lost, we will however never forget these moments of joy and wonder.
Enré had no problem breastfeeding from the get-go, and also loves to suck his fingers and hand, and constantly looks for something to suck. He may have his mother's beautiful skin tone, has blue eyes that can still go anywhere, and has tall legs like the rest of the family!
Enré was awake for the first two hours after birth, but since then he's blown us away with his capacity for sleep, true to newborn form!
