Handsome Birthday Boy!!

Kaleb William Lamps, born March 31st, 2006 at 3:27 p.m., he weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz (my biggest baby yet!) and he was 21 inches long. Kaleb this is your story. My pregnancy with you was by far my easiest, I didn't throw up at all until I had gull bladder problems. When I was 7 months pregnant with you I had gull stones, the Dr.'s didn't want to do surgery with my so far in my pregnancy so they tried to get me through it but that didn't work! Two days later we were at the hospital they decided to do the surgery and remove me gull bladder I was so scared, but daddy gave me a blessing and everything went smoothly. Once I woke up my Dr. told me that if they had waited one more day to do the surgery you would have died, and I would have been in critical condition, good thing for us that we were so adamant that something be done! I spent the rest of my pregnancy on bed rest because I was contracting so much, but other than that I loved my pregnancy with you!

You decided when you were ready to come, the Dr. had just checked on me to see the progress he figured you were getting ready, he left to make his rounds, within 20 mins of him leaving I was ready to push, the nurses told me to wait, but all I had to do was sit up and your head came out! One of the nurses ran out of the room in search of the Dr. and the other 2 nurses were delivering you! We were so happy when we heard you cry for the first time, what a wonderful sound!

On the 3rd of April we took you in for your well check, your belie Reuben levels were sky high, they sent us right to the hospital. You were in the hospital for 5 days, on the 5th day the Dr. came in and told me that your levels hadn't change with all the time you spent under the UV light, and because your levels had stayed so high for so long you would have brain damage, that wasn't news I wanted to hear. Later that day your dad and Grandpa J gave you a blessing within 2hrs of that blessing your levels dropped dramatically, they tested you to see if there was any damage and there wasn't, we went home that night!
