Caleb Todd Berg

Caleb Todd Berg was born on April 5, 2011 at 8:55a.m. He weighed an enormous 8 lbs 13 oz (enormous for a woman whose first child weighed 6 lbs 15 oz) and was 19 inches long. That means he was as tall as Adam but weighed about 2 lbs more. I told everyone the baby was big. Mother knows best. As Caleb was born cesarean we experienced a prolonged stay in the hospital that lasted from the 5th to the 8th. Aside from a few minor medical issues such as respiratory problems upon birth, low blood sugar, and jaundice, Caleb has done very well. All of the above listed maladies have been overcome by the way. I am doing much better physically now than I was after Adam's birth which is such a blessing. We had a wonderful experience at the hospital and I truly have no complaints. If prompted Eric could probably comment on the chair/bed they gave him to sleep on. However, as I had to be slashed open in order for our child to be retrieved, he has deemed it wise to keep the complaining to a minimum. Adam is having the most difficult time adjusting to the new situation. He loves the baby and tells me so repeatedly but he misses all the quality time that we used to have together before the new baby interrupted our schedule and has begun acting out to express his frustration. It must be awful to be so young and not be able to explain yourself. Poor thing. Other than that we are all doing well. Finals are this week. Wish us luck.
