Happy 1st Birthday Caleb!

Today my baby turns 1 year old. It's so hard to believe that it's been a year. It has been fun to watch him learn new things and develop. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. I had a planned C-section due to the fact that he was big. I was given the choice by Dr. Brody to have the c-section or be in labor for possibly a long time then still end up with the c-section. I was glad of my decision after he weighed 8lbs 11 oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. The Dr. said I made a good choice when he got Caleb out. I also had gestational diabetes so the Dr. said that usually makes for a bigger baby with broad shoulders so Dr. Brody said it is safer for the baby to have a c-section. I figured why take the chance on hurting him during a normal delivery. My whole experience was great and recovery wasn't bad at all. I even enjoyed my stay at the hospital.
Here are a few pics from his birth. I will post pictures of his birthday party later.
