Well, as many of you know, we are now 4!  Caleb Joshua Barnes was born Saturday morning at 11:19am and is doing very well.  My doctor was good to let me come home a few days early so I could spend time at home with my family - I do need to tell him how God has used HIM through this whole thing...it's really quite cool.

Caleb has been wonderful!  To be honest I can hardly believe I'm saying that.  We had so many challenges with Keilan as a new born I am just feeling so blessed to have a "text book" baby.  He eats well, sleeps well, poops well, and is just entirely CUTE!  OK, so Keilan was entirely CUTE as well, but really did none of the other things well.  I feel so unworthy of this gift - it really feels like an undeserved gift right now - but am so thankful I hardly have words to tell God how greatful I truly am (I think He knows! ).

Keilan has been amazing with Caleb.  He LOVES to hold him and to be a part of his care - diaper changing, feedings etc.  However, life in the Barnes' home has been anything but "normal" for the past few weeks.  Ok, ok, so you ask how can the Barnes' home be "normal"?  Funny!  Well, Nathan has been so busy with work and is actually away for a few days and I've been in hospital and my parents are here for the week etc., etc., etc.  Keilan needs some concentrated family time - actually we all need it.  He has such a beautiful spirit about him - I love that kid! - but he's feeling the changes.  Please pray for me.  I need wisdom in learning how to communicate to Keilan that my love for him is changing - growing not lessening.  How do I communicate to a 3 year old that God has expanded my love for my family, not just divided it into smaller pieces for each of them? 

Oh!  I hear some "squawks!"  Better go!
