"CALEB" WOD Caleb, in honor of the birth of our son!
Buy in: 44 hours of labor, including walking around the 6 bed hospital floor for 2 hours, obgyn doc breaking the water, strong contractions and then finally an epidural. Rest for 1 hour c section delivery where I got to witness the birth of our child into this world, absolutely unexplainable!
Overtime: 48 straight hours of changing diapers, feeding, celebrating with family and friends, crying with such joy for all reasons, every new experience was extremely significant from Laura and I praying together over him as we gave him the name we felt the Lord had for him to bathing and feeding him for the first time, and all done with virtually no sleep. The best part is even when we are exhausted and running on borrowed energy we can't help but stay awake and watch him sleep! Caleb means bold and warrior: to me this is fitting because Laura fought with all she had to keep him as safe and healthy as possible from the moment we found out he was created to the moment he was delivered! Now she continues to be fearless as she feeds and nurtures him around the clock! I couldn't be more proud to call her my bride! Also Caleb is fitting because we pray that he will be bold in finding Christ and hopefully in his faith one day fighting to save the lost and ultimately to love Fod and love others victoriously!
