Well, I actually started this page about 2 1/2 years ago. Caleb wasn't due for another few months and I was planning to talk about the last stages of his pregnancy. Obviously, less than two weeks later I delivered Caleb. What I thought was him pushing up against the corner of my belly was actually contractions and I had been having them for awhile. I went in for a regular check up and evidently I was in active labor and dialated to 5 cm. Anyway I had preeclamsia, and we were able to hold off for a week before he was induced because it had turned severe. Needless to say, I didn't have much time to write after that. Caleb was born at 30 weeks and had to stay in the NICU for 45 days. He, however, has caught up, even excelled developmentally and he really is such a bright spot in the family.
Now, at the start of a new journey, I'll attempt again to chronicle some of our lives. We are currently in Papua New Guinea where Ben will do his final rotations at the Nazarene mission hospital in Kudjip. It has been quite the adventure. (I have been sending out e-mails, but since blogs are the cool thing to do now, I will be moving all of the previous letters on to here.) Thanks so much for taking the time to read!
