Caleb Joshua Buffington













Caleb was born 7.2 oz and 18.5 in with a full head of hair. We got home from the hospital on Monday and have been adapting well to a family of four. Thanks to the help of my in-laws and of course our Lord Jesus Christ. Breastfeeding has been going, a lot more painful and I have slowly been recovering. We saw a lactation nurse the day after we left the hospital and apparently the latch was wrong, is that why I was bleeding? OUCH! I am determined to bear through it so bring on the lanolin and the prayers. I have fallen in love with this little guy, he is so cute.
Nathan absolutely loves his litttle brother. When we brought him in to see the baby he was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself. He kept running back and forth talking waving his hands in the air. Nathan loves to kiss his little brother and has been adapting very well.
Thank you for all of your prayers, the Lord has been more than faithful. The baby is healthy, and I am recovering well. We love and miss you all and wish we could see you.

Congratulations on your new son and our new grandson Calab. He is beautiful! Papa and I really enjoyed spending quality time with Nathan and Calab. And of course with mommy and daddy. Thanks for allowing us to be part of this special time the last 3 weeks. It meant more to us than you can ever image. I am very happy the Lord allowed us this time. You have a great family and the Lord will bless you for your faithfulness to Him.Looking forward in spending more time with all of you soon. Love Grandma and Papa Buffington
