It was a year ago today that I had the joy of working my last full day with a class that was quite the challenge. I thought I'd have a few days to rest up and get ready for the shift into motherhood, but Caleb had better plans. Only a few hours after ending a long last day, I went into labor. After an entire night of being awake, Caleb joined the world on March 21. I remember thinking over and over about how crazy it was that earlier that day I was at work having a fairly normal day with the kids.
Once again, Caleb has shown his great sense of timing (there is definitely some sarcasm behind that statement). His 1st birthday is tomorrow and we are planning to have many people over to celebrate the occasion. We are even lucky enough to have Tyler's family in from Carmi and his Aunt Denise flying in from North Carolina. The reason why I say that Caleb has shown his great sense of timing is because despite all the plans that have been made, he has gotten sick! It's not a small cold or anything minor, but stomach issues...which for a one-year-old means the whole world gets flipped upside down! We're hoping it's just a 24 hour thing and he'll be back in shape tomorrow because the party will still go on. We're sure some guests might opt out if he's still sick, but for those brave souls who are going to come, we plan to still enjoy the food and fun!
For now, just keep our little love in your prayers. We know that God listens and hope the He'll hear all those prayers that go up for him tonight and tomorrow!
