happy birthday my baby boy!

So today at exactly 9:01pm caleb will be 2.  I can't believe it has been 2 years since he was born. It really seems like just yesterday we were at toysrus getting double stroller in complete denial that I was actually in rather active labor at the time.  I won't bore you with the whole day that he was born, but I find it amusing (now) that I had to be told by both my mom and my husband "you probably should call your midwife..just to be checked" and even my midwife was like, well you can come in but you will probably get sent back home....only to get up to L&D and be told I wasnt going anywhere because I was 6-8centimeters and almost completely effaced.....this was at 3pm on sat october 18,2008.....I had to be on antibiotics for a few hours and then they broke my water and 3 pushes, a punched nurse (I am told I did this) and a pale Josh and Caleb was born!  Many,MANY ear infections, 2 sets of tubes and more falls than I can count, brings us to today.  :)

It's funny,  I never would have agreed with people that gender makes such a difference in their personality but now that I have 1 of each, it is so true!  Athena is my goddess (appropriately named) and is high maitenance, while caleb is laid back, easy going, and just pretty much does whatever he is told....for the most part.....it is just a funny concept to me.
so anyway,have a nice monday!

So, for some reason when I upload these pictures, the turn.....
