The Christmas surprise!!!

Well, due to popular demand, I am posting a photo of the most precious little present we got for Christmas this year. He was quite anxious to beat the new year...so surprised us by coming 5 weeks early. Thankfully we were given excellent care by a hospital 2 hours away by bus (as our local hospital had no neonatal beds....sounds like the christmas story) and Kaleb was finally discharged after 12 days and we arrived home on Christmas eve. There is much more to the story....and I like giving all the details...but don't have the inspiration to write it just now. But Kaleb is here and is well and is TINYYYYY and is adorable! He is our precious treasure and we are blessed by his safe arrival!

The little guy who rocks our world (minus feeding tube...yeah!)At home and looking chubbier than before...Thank God!!

What a surprise! Congratulations! The first picture it looks like he's looking straight at his very entertaining daddy. And he looks snug as a bug in a rug in the last picture. Can't wait to read all the details. Wishing you a smooth recovery and special bonding time.

I meant to add that I'm sure he's already got a special angel looking after him from above and how proud she must be. :)

ha! yeah, Anita, in that picture where Kaleb is looking at us, Tico said he was probably thinking, 'OH, No! These are my parents!?!' HA!
