What a miracle we have been blessed with! We ended up heading to the hospital the night before due to lack of fetal movement. Everything checked out fine and we were sent back home because they didn't have any rooms available! We left our bags at the hospital, headed home for a few hours of sleep (or lack thereof), and returned to the hospital at 6:00 am.
The c-section was a bit nerve racking but all in all, a success! The cord was wrapped around his neck twice, which explains the lack of movement I was experiencing, but, luckily we had a great team of doctors on hand and he is a healthy little guy!
Daniel Robert Kalo was born at 8:37 am weighing in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and 21 inches in length. He looked alot like Callie when he first arrived but is slowly taking on his own unique characteristics. As you can see, he had a full head of dark black hair and melted our hearts instantly. I have loved every second of my time with him at the hospital before we head home.
Callie has been spoiled by family caring for her and hasn't missed Mommy quite like I'm missing her! Having Kalo's in town, along with my family and sister in town, has been a blessing as they've kept Callie occupied and the center of attention :)
When Callie first met Daniel, she loved him! She gave him kisses and called him "mine." I am so proud of her as a big sister but worried she won't know what hit her once we bring him home for good.
I appreciate all of the prayers and thoughts during this special time for our family. It's an amazing feeling and we are thankful for our beautiful and growing family. Enjoy the pictures!
