Good news! Our little pea has arrived! Caleb Benjamin Lichty was born on September 27th at 4:26 a.m. He weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. He has lots of dark hair and is a very handsome baby boy.

Labor and delivery went smoothly. We are very blessed and excited to be parents. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. We will post more baby photos soon, but right now we are going to get some rest…or at least we are going to try! 🙂

  228. Congratulations! My best advice for new moms: stay in your pajamas for as long as possible (we’re talking weeks here). As soon as you get dressed in “real” clothes, everyone assumes you are ready to tackle life at full speed. Take full advantage of all the help you can get now, and enjoy your sweet little one. Life will never be the same! (In good ways)
