Sorry it took so long for me to make a post guys!! I'm glad to be home... The c-section wasn't nearly as bad as I remember, but the pain afterwards sucks. Thank the lord for pain killers I got to the hospital at 5 am and went to the surgery waiting rooms and answered a billion questions and watched t.v until the doctor and anesthesiologist were ready to go. Jon was really tired so he was sleeping on the floor for a while. I think they took me back to the room around 7 am and I was really nervous... Haha when the anesthesiologist was clamping the drape up he dropped the clamp and it hit my right in the forehead..I thought it was pretty funny. Anyway they had to use the vacuum thing to get him out because his head was too slippery. He was born at 7:33 am. He weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and he was 20 1/2 inches long. He looks so tiny though!! But....His name isn't Caleb. We named him Alexander Daniel. Here are some pictures..
Here are some of Ethan...

I've been trying to convince Jon to let me name him Alexander for a while now. It's always been my favorite boys name. We are going to call him Alex though.
